Tips and facts about information security solutions for enterpisesIs your house going to be empty for many days while you vacation out of town? That is the time it is open to burglars breaking and entering it. Here is a bunch of things to do to defend your home. * The most advisable solution is to have a sitter at home. A house where someone is staying is usually safer than a deserted home. Arrange for a trusted friend or relative to hang out at your apartment for the time you are traveling. * Halt the newspaper and mail for the entire time you are away. Mail spilling out of the mailbox is a sure sign that your house is empty. * If you have a garden or potted plants have them maintained by someone. Alternatively ensure that the potted plants are kept where they are not visible. Plants not being taken care of tell the observer that nobody is home. * Use timers for tv and lights. Put lights in several rooms on timers. The lights should be switched on and off in a natural sequence. At dusk turn on the living room lights. Subsequently the living room lights should go off and the lights in the bedroom should be switched on. If you commonly switch on tv at 9 and it remains on till midnight set your timer to that schedule. The lights may be on but the tv being off may reveal that the house is empty. * Arrange for a neighbor to drop into your apartment on a regular basis. Windows and curtains being worked gives evidence that the apartment or home is occupied. * If you live on rent tell the owner that the house will be empty. The landlord may want to check on it. * If you use a home security system ensure that the homesitter is aware of how to make it work. * Make sure the house sitter or caretaker can reach you. Whoever is keeping tabs on the home should know who they should intimate should any issues come up.
