Information about research on home security systems
Is your apartment to be unoccupied for a longish time while you take a much needed break away from town? That is when it is open to burglars breaking in. Here are several things to do.
* The better alternative is to get a home sitter. Having someone at home is very likely safer than an uninhabited apartment. Try arranging for a relative to hang out at your apartment for the time you are away.
* Temporarily stop newspaper delivery and mail delivery when you travel out of town. A full mailbox or newspaper piled up calls attention to the fact that the home is empty.
* If you maintain a garden have them kept by someone regularly. Otherwise ensure that the potted plants are kept where they are not visible. Dying plants tell potential burglars that the apartment is empty.
* Use timers on the lights, radio and tv. Lights should be on timers in multiple rooms. The lights should turn on an off in a natural manner. At dusk turn on the living room lights. At the time you turn in put out the lights in your living room and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you turn tv on at 7 most days and you keep it on till you turn in the timer must follow those timings. Though the lights may be on the absence of the tv can clue in someone that the house is uninhabited.
* Request a neighbor to come in and check out your home on a regular basis. Windows and curtains being opened convey that the house is not empty.
* If you rent the apartment you may want to notify your landlord that the home will be unoccupied. Your landlord may want to keep an eye on it.
* If you use a home security system see to it that the home sitter is familiar with how it is to be worked.
* Make sure the house sitter knows how to contact you. The person keeping an eye on the house must be well aware of who they should contact should any problems come up.
