Show me information about portable home video security system
Is your home or apartment to be empty for several days while you holiday? That is when it usually is most vulnerable to looters. Here is what to help harden your home against burglaries.
* The best security for your apartment is to get a home sitter. Having someone in is commonly safer than an empty apartment. Arrange for a friend or relative to stay at home at least during the nights while you are go away.
* Halt the mail and newspaper delivery for the entire time you are away. Piles of newspaper lying around is a sign that your house is unoccupied.
* If you have potted plants visible from outside get someone to maintain them. Alternatively ensure the potted plants are not visible from outside. Plants dying slowly are another sign that the house is uninhabited.
* Use timers on the lights, radio and tv. Use timers on lights in several rooms. Use a natural looking sequence for the lights. Turn on the living room lights at sunset. When you normally hit the sack the lights in the living room should turn off and the bedroom lights should switch on.
If you normally turn on the tv at 7 pm and you keep it on till you turn in set the timer accordingly. The lights in the house may be on but the absence of the tv glow can give away that the house is empty.
* See if a neighbor can visit your home on a regular basis. Windows being opened and curtains being worked gives evidence that somebody is home.
* If you live in a rented home maybe you can tell the landlord that the apartment will be empty. The homeowner may want to check on the apartment or home regularly.
* If you have a burglar alarm installed see to it that the the person who is doing the house sitting is aware of precisely how to work it.
* Make it a point to see that the caretaker or house sitter can contact you. The person checking on the house must be aware of exactly who to call should any issue crop up.
