Data about video surveillance laws njIs your apartment or home to be empty for a few days while you take a much needed break away from town? That is when your home is most vulnerable to being burglarized. Here are several specific things you can do to make your home less vulnerable. * The best deterrant is to have a sitter at home. An apartment where someone is staying is usually safer than a home that is not occupied. Check if you can get a relative or a friend to remain at your apartment for the time you are traveling. * Halt the newspaper delivery and mail delivery while you are away from home. Untouched mail and newspaper tells unlawful elements that no one is home. * If you potted plants visibly placed get someone to water them. Or shift the potted plants where they are not visible from the road. Plants not being taken care of tell the observer that no one is home. * Put the lights and tv on timers. Lights in several rooms should be on timers. The lights should be switched on and off in a natural sequence. At sundown the living room lights should switch on. At bedtime the lights in your living room should be switched off and turn on the bedroom lights. If you usually switch tv on at 8 and it stays on till bed time the timer must follow those timings. Though the lights are on the lack of the tv's bluish glow can give a clue that the home is unoccupied. * Find out if a neighbor will agree to come in and check out your home regularly while you are away. Doors and windows being worked are signs that the house is occupied. * If you rent the apartment let the landlord know that you are going on vacation. The landlord may want to watch over the house. * If you have installed an alarm system make it a point to see that the the person who is doing the house sitting recognizes how to operate it. * See to it that the house sitter knows how to contact you. The person watching over the house should be informed about who they should contact should any issues come up.
