What you must find out about rugged security cameras
Is your apartment to be left empty for more than a day or two while you and your family vacation out of town? That is when it generally is open to thieves breaking in. Here are several specific things to help make your home safer.
* The best security for your apartment is to have someone stay at your apartment. An apartment where someone is staying is very likely safer than an unoccupied apartment. Try getting a friend or someone you trust to live at your apartment while you go on vacation.
* Discontinue the mail and newspaper delivery when the apartment is empty. A mailbox filled to the brim lets everyone know that your house is empty.
* If you maintain potted plants or a garden have them watered by someone. Otherwise ensure that the potted plants are kept out of sight. Untended and dying plants tell passersby that the house is uninhabited.
* Use timers to operate lights and tv. Use light timers in more than one room. The lights should turn on an off in a natural manner. At dusk the lights in the living room should be turned on. At your regular sleeptime the lights in your living room should be switched off and switch on the bedroom lights.
If you ordinarily switch on tv at 8 pm everyday and have it on till bedtime the timer should stick to those times too. Though the lights may be switched on the absence of light from the tv might be sufficient evidence that this is an empty house.
* Find out if a neighbor will agree to drop in to your apartment now and then. Windows being open now and then mean that somebody is home.
* If you rent an apartment tell the landlord that you are traveling. Your homeowner may want to check on it.
* If you use a burglar alarm system make it a point to see that the apartment sitter is familiar with just how to use it.
* See that you leave your contact details with the house sitter. The person checking up on the apartment should be informed about who should be informed if any issue should come up.
