How to Secure Your Home Before You Go On A Vacation?

Written by Posted On Tuesday, 23 July 2019 04:09

A holiday trip, especially for longer than a few days, is quite a big entertainment indeed! Today we will tell you today to secure your home properly before you go on holiday, don’t be worried about the security of your sweet home throughout the holiday. When you come back, don’t fall into black despair, just enjoy coming back home.

When preparing a list of things that you need to pack into a suitcase and take with you, it is also a good idea to draw up a list of things to do at home. That's something you should remember to assure the best protection for your home. Packing, rush, and excitement with the approaching holiday mean that we forget about many important things. Below is a list - the cheat sheet, which we hope, will help you to keep your home safe for a long absence.

Talk To Trusted Neighbors

If there are people in your close neighborhood whom you can trust (neighbors or family), talk to them and let them know about your departure and planned return. Thanks to the fact that someone will know about your plans (especially if you have not already installed anti-burglar systems). 

Make sure that there are no obvious signs of absence around your apartment or property (leaflets, piling up lists, etc.). The probability of burglary will be much lesser in this way. 

If you have a trusted person to whom you can entrust your keys, ask for lighting in the evening, 

This is an old but proven method. For those of you whose neighbors are not eager to help,  a special presence simulator will definitely help. This creates an atmosphere in the home that there’s someone in the home.

Of course, this is not a safeguard that will protect you against burglary, but it will significantly increase the chances that this will not happen.

Check the Security

As we have already mentioned, in the hurry of packing (especially if you have small children),  it is very easy to forget about proper home security. Property owners in areas away from their neighbors most often rework this topic already at the stage of building a house, although, as statistics show, still most of us have a tendency to  save on anti-burglary and security systems.

It is worth considering the necessity of installing a decent door with security cameras. You can also use external blinds.

  • Signing a contract with a security company (cost usually only a few dozens of dollars a month),
  • Mounting monitoring ( WiFi cameras are no longer a luxury good designed only for the richest),
  • The purchase of smoke detectors(that will inform neighbors about a fire( in the event of a shortage of electrical or gas installations, because immediately the siren will sound)

-These all will help. 

Modern sensors also have built-in cameras connected to the Internet. With the help of these, we can monitor the situation at home daily even if we sit far away from our homes.

Hope this helps! Let’s secure our homes well while we are on vacation and enjoy the essence of vacation at its best.
