Home: Phone Less Home Security Alarms
Show me information about phone less home security alarmsIs your apartment or home to be unoccupied for days or weeks while you leave town? That is the time your home is susceptible to thieves breaking in. Here are several things you can do to make your home less vulnerable. * The most effective defense is to arrange for a house sitter. Having someone in is always safer than an empty house. Check if you can get a trustworthy friend to stay at home while you are go away. * Discontinue your mail and newspaper while you are on vacation. A mailbox filled to the brim tells everyone that your house is empty. * If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible have them kept by someone regularly. Or Else ensure that the potted plants are kept where they are not visible. Plants not being taken care of imply that the apartment is empty. * It is a good idea to use timers on lights and tv. Timers should be hooked to lights in multiple rooms. Use a natural looking sequence for lights. At sundown the living room lights should switch on. When it is time for bed put out the lights in your living room and the bedroom lights should be turned on. If you turn tv on at 7 most days and it remains on till midnight the timer must follow those timings. Even if the lights are on the absence of the tv's light shining through might give away that no one is really home. * See if a neighbor will come in and check out your place often. Windows and curtains being opened mean that the house is inhabited. * If you live on rent it is usually a good idea to tell the owner that the home will be unoccupied. The owner may want to check up on it regularly. * If you use any kind of security system make certain that the apartment sitter recognises how it is to be run. * See that the house sitter or caretaker can reach you. The person keeping an eye on the house must be aware of who they should call should a problem crop up.
