Tips and info about video surveillance ethics
Is your apartment or home to be unoccupied for more than a day or two while you take a break out of town? That is the time your apartment or home is susceptible to housebreaks. Here is a bunch of things to help make your home safer.
* The top way to secure your home is to have someone stay at your apartment. A house where someone is staying is very likely safer than a house that is empty. Try arranging for a friend or someone you trust to stay at your apartment when you are traveling.
* Stop your mail delivery and newspaper delivery when you travel out of town. A mailbox that is full or newspapers lying around publicises that your house is empty.
* If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible have them maintained by someone. Alternatively move the potted plants away from sight. Untended and wilted plants are a sign that the apartment is unoccupied.
* Use timers to operate lights and tv. Lights should be on timers in multiple rooms. The way the lights are switched on and off should look natural. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. Subsequently the living room lights should go off and the lights in your bedroom should turn on.
If you generally switch on tv at 7 pm and it stays on till bed time set the timer accordingly. Though the lights are on the absence of the tv might indicate that no one is home.
* Ask a neighbor to come in to your apartment or home often. Windows and curtains being worked points out that the home is inhabited.
* If you rent the home it may be useful to tell the landlord that you are traveling. Your landlord may want to check on it.
* If you use a burglar alarm system see that the person who is house sitting is comfortable with exactly how to use it.
* Make certain that the neighbor can reach you easily. Whoever is watching over the home should know who they should fill in should a problem crop up.
