What you must find out about wander alarm systems
Is your house to be left unoccupied for a few days or weeks while you go vacationing? That is when your home is open to housebreaks. Here are several things and ideas to deal with it.
* The most advisable solution is to have a house sitter. A house where someone is staying is normally safer than a home or apartment that is unoccupied. See if you can get a relative to live at your apartment while you are go away.
* Temporarily discontinue newspaper and mail when the apartment is empty. Untouched mail and newspaper lets passersby know that the house is empty.
* If you maintain potted plants or a garden have them kept by someone regularly. Or move the potted plants where they cant be seen. Plants not being taken care of tell passersby that the house is uninhabited.
* Use timers to work tv and lights. Lights in multiple rooms should be on timers. Set the timings of the lights so it looks as if someone is home. The timer should turn living room lights on at sundown. When you normally retire the lights in the living room should turn off and the lights in your bedroom should turn on.
If you normally turn on the tv at 7 pm and you keep it on till you turn in the timer should do the same thing. Though the lights may be switched on the absence of the bluish tv glow might indicate that this house is unoccupied.
* Ask a neighbor to drop in and check on your home now and then. Windows being open now and then are indications that the house is not empty.
* If you rent the apartment or house perhaps you can tell your landlord that you are going away for a few days. Your houseowner may want to check on the apartment or home regularly.
* If you use an alarm system make certain that the home sitter is comfortable with how it is to be used.
* See to it that the neighbor knows how to contact you. Whoever is checking on the home should be informed about who to call should any problems come up.
