We are going to give you a series of tips to make your home a safer place
It is time to act and see what you can do to be calm and safe.
1. Get an alarm system.
Actually, it is difficult to know exactly how many risks we are exposed to, even if we have an alarm. Well, as you well know, everything is updated and everything is developing, so some thieves can get into security systems. Some feel comfortable disabling certain brands. But regardless of how they feel about alarm systems, most would-be burglars don’t want to be caught. So get a security system, preferably one that still alerts you even when it’s disabled. Most likely, a thief will skip past him to find an easier target.
2. Add window sensors
Window sensors are also known as open/close or input sensors. When added to a window or door, they will let you know if it is being opened or closed. Protecting potential entrances is a big step in securing your home. Sensors can be part of both a home security system and a home automation system. You can create cause and effect actions that encompass both. For example, you can set the sensor to turn on the light in your bedroom if the door is opened after midnight. Or you can have him text you if the door opens while he’s gone.
3. Add a security sign
If you’re not in the market for a complete security system, a security signal is the next best thing. Thieves look for easy targets, and the threat of a security system may be enough to deter them. Make sure you use a legitimate sign; professionals will not be fooled by a fake.
4. Add a security camera
Security cameras work both with a home security system and on their own. The presence of a camera can deter thieves, and if that doesn’t work, it will help catch them. Cameras are especially effective at catching porch pirates in the act. It is, without a doubt, one of the best tools at the moment to detect possible threats and even to protect ourselves once we already have the danger inside.
5. Turn old phones into security cameras
There are many free apps that can turn your old phones and tablets into security cameras. Most phones and tablets aren’t waterproof, so you can’t use your new cameras outdoors. But you can put them around the house.
6. Create a trap for thieves
No, not a thief’s trap, a thief’s trap. Some thieves “smash and grab,” especially if an alarm sounds. Fill a box with some cash, jewelry, and some papers to put in the sock drawer. A harassed thief will go through the sock drawer in the master bedroom, take the box and leave.
7. Open the door the right way
Teach and tell your children not to open the door without your express permission. Even someone they know can pose a danger to them. And when you see an unexpected stranger at your door, don’t let him in.
8. Add a reinforcement to the door
Screw a door brace behind the front door. When in the locked position, the deadbolt helps the door withstand several hundred pounds of blunt force. If someone thinks they’re going to break down your blast door, they get another chance.
9. Lock your doors and windows
Breaking into a home can be very easy for an intruder. Too many people leave the door open! So even if you live in a small quiet neighborhood. . . just close your doors and windows. It is better to play it safe.
10. Try to avoid social networks to put personal information.
Believe it or not, today you can copy a house key with just a photo. It’s very convenient if you want to make a copy without handing over the original, but it’s also potentially dangerous. Don’t share photos of your keys with anyone who isn’t welcome to come into your home at all hours.
11. Add a peephole, but not an old one, but one of the current ones with greater security.
A peephole on a door is a piece of home security gold. It will provide a wide angle view of your visitors so you can decide to let them in. . . Or not.
