Facts about viewing home security systems from the internet
Is your apartment to be left empty for even a few days while you go on tour? That is when it tends to be most vulnerable to burglars breaking and entering it. Here are several specific things to help make your home safer.
* The most effective defense is to have a keeper or sitter at home. Having someone in is very likely safer than a house that is empty. Make arrangements for a relative or friend to hang out at your apartment while you are go away.
* Temporarily discontinue mail and newspaper delivery for the entire time you are away. A mailbox filled to the brim tells unlawful elements that the house is unoccupied.
* If you have potted plants or a garden ensure that someone waters them. Alternatively ensure that the potted plants are kept where they are not visible. Wilted plants tell the observer that the house is uninhabited.
* Use timers to operate lights and tv. Use light timers in more than one room. The way the lights are switched on and off should look natural. At dusk turn on the living room lights. At bedtime the living room lights should be turned off and turn on the bedroom lights.
If you turn tv on at 7 most days and you keep it on till you turn in set the timer accordingly. Though the lights may be on the absence of the tv may lead someone to suspect that no one is actually home.
* Ask a neighbor to come in and check out your house regularly. Doors and windows being opened are signs that the home is inhabited.
* If you rent an apartment notify the owner that you are going away for a few days. The houseowner may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you use a burglar alarm system see to it that the homesitter is familiar with how it is to be used.
* See that the house sitter or caretaker can reach you. Whoever is keeping tabs on the apartment must be aware of exactly who to call should any issues come up.
