Facts about personal door alarm systems
Is your apartment to be unoccupied for several days while you and your family vacation out of town? That is when it generally is most susceptible to burglars breaking in. Here is what you can do to make your home less vulnerable.
* The best solution is to have someone stay at your apartment. Having someone stay at your home is very likely safer than an apartment that is not occupied. Try to get a relative to remain at your home when you are traveling.
* Temporarily discontinue newspaper and mail while you are away. Unread newspaper and mail lets everyone know that the house is empty.
* If you have potted plants visible from outside have them maintained by someone. Alternatively keep the potted plants of of sight. Plants not being cared for are a sign that the home is empty.
* Put lights, tv and radio on timers. Lights should be on timers in multiple rooms. The way the lights are switched on and off should look natural. At dusk turn on the living room lights. Later the lights in the living room should turn off and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you on the tv set at 7 pm most days and you keep it on till you turn in have your timer do the same. The lights may be on but the tv being turned off can clue in someone that no one is home.
* Get a neighbor to drop in and check on your home regularly while you are away. Curtains and windows being opened points out that the home is inhabited.
* If you rent a home tell the owner that you are going away for a few days. The houseowner may want to check up on the home sometimes.
* If you have an active alarm system see to it that the the person who is doing the house sitting is comfortable with precisely how to use it.
* Make sure the neighbor can reach you easily. The person checking up on the apartment should be informed about who they should notify should any issues come up.
