Information about mti fire alarm systems
Is your home going to be empty for days or weeks while you travel on vacation? That is when the home usually is susceptible to burglaries and housebreaks. Here are several things and ideas to deal with it.
* The best deterrant is to get someone staying at home. Having someone in is usually safer than a home that is not occupied. Try getting a relative to live at your apartment for the time you are traveling.
* Stop your mail and newspaper delivery when the apartment is empty. A mailbox filled to the brim advertises that no one is home.
* If you potted plants visibly placed ask someone to maintain them. Alternatively shift the potted plants where no one can see them. Wilted plants give away that the apartment is empty.
* Put the lights and tv on timers. Use light timers in more than one room. Use a natural looking sequence for the lights. At sunset turn on the living room lights. At the time you go to bed the living room should have lights off and the lights in the bedroom should be switched on.
If you usually turn the tv on at 8 pm and it stays on till bed time set your timer to that schedule. The lights in the house may be on but the lack of the tv's bluish glow might give away that the apartment or home is empty.
* Find out if a neighbor will agree to come in to your house frequently. Doors and windows being worked convey that the home is occupied.
* If you live in a rented home it is usually a good idea to tell the owner that the house will be unoccupied. The houseowner may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you have installed a security system make it a point to see that the apartment sitter is aware of just how to work it.
* Make sure the house sitter knows how to contact you. The person keeping an eye on the house should be informed about who is to be informed should any issues come up.
