Tips to keep your home safe this summer

It’s finally warm outside and summer is here! We’re grilling, keeping windows and patio doors open and lighting bonfires. But, while enjoying the season, don’t forget about your home security.

It’s finally warm outside and summer is here! We’re grilling, keeping windows and patio doors open and lighting bonfires. But, while enjoying the season, don’t forget about your home security.

If you’re hanging out on the deck in back, is your front door locked? Is the garage closed? If not, what’s to stop a thief from coming in while you’re attending other things?

Speaking of decks, summer is the perfect time to bring out the patio furniture, decorative lights and accessories. But pay attention to what you keep on your deck when you’re not at home or asleep. It’s easy for burglars to access the deck (and your belongings) without disturbing anyone inside.

What about your windows? While opening them provides a nice summer breeze, make sure to close and lock them whenever you leave home. Otherwise, they could turn into a nice entry point for a burglar.

Do you have a fenced yard? While the fence provides a layer of protection, you might consider putting a contact sensor on the gate to let you know when it is opened. Finally, to keep an eye on things at all times, consider installing security cameras outside your property.

Your system is monitored 24/7 by a local team of professionals. And by using our automation services you can also receive alerts and check your cameras from your smart device.
