Report on video surveillance canton ohIs your apartment to be left empty for a longish time while you go on vacation? That is when your apartment is vulnerable to looters. Here is a bunch of things to help harden your home against burglaries. * The most sensible alternative is to have a house sitter. Having someone stay at home is almost always safer than an unoccupied home. Try to arrange for a relative or friend to remain at your apartment while you go on vacation. * Temporarily discontinue mail and newspaper when you leave the home unoccupied. Unread newspaper and mail lets everyone know that your house is unoccupied. * If you maintain potted plants that are visible from the road ensure that someone waters them. Or ensure that the potted plants are kept out of sight. Dying plants suggest that the apartment is empty. * It is a good idea to use timers on lights and tv. Use timers on lights in several rooms. Use a natural looking sequence for the lights. The living room lights should come on at sundown. At the time you turn in living room should turn dark and turn on the bedroom lights. If you normally turn on the tv at 7 pm and it stays switched on till its time for you to turn in set the timer accordingly. The living room light may be on but the lack of the tv's bluish glow may lead someone to suspect that this house is unoccupied. * Arrange for a neighbor to come in and check out your home regularly while you are away. Curtains and windows being opened is evidence that the house is not empty. * If you live in a rented apartment you may want to let your landlord know that you will be out of station. Your homeowner may want to watch over it now and then. * If you use any kind of security system ensure that the home sitter is familiar with how it is to be worked. * Make certain that the caretaker or house sitter can contact you. The person responsbile for checking into the house should know who to call should a problem arise.
