Protect Your Home While on Vacation

Getting ready for a getaway? Are your bags all packed and tickets purchased? After planning your itinerary one thing to keep in mind is how to protect your home while on vacation. We never leave for vacation expecting something bad would happen while we are gone, however it is always best to be prepared just in case.

Basic tips on protecting your home while on vacation:

Pretending as though there is a still person at home reduces the chances of being robbed.  Try making it look like there is recent activity both inside and outside the house such having lawn or exterior work done while you are out of town.

Consider having lights or motion sensors such as battery operated sensors in windows can be a good idea. Try connecting outside and inside lights to motion sensors, this way if anyone gets too close the lights will automatically come on.

Finding timers that can be controlled by an app on your cell phone would varying different times of the day can be a great option

Installing a security system can be a great fit to secure your home while you are on vacation. Having a home alarm system gives you access to a control panel, door and window sensors, motion sensors, glass break sensors. Often times you can monitor these features by using your cellphone.
