With vacation season winding down for the year, you may be interested in the best ways to keep your vacation home safe until next season.
One of the smartest things you can do is install a robust home security system for full service monitoring.
A home security system can monitor your home for fire, carbon monoxide, excessive heat and even environmental emergencies, such as a water pipe malfunction. A water leak can cause thousands of dollars in damage if left undetected. Monitoring such events will not only bring you peace of mind, but can also save you a substantial amount of money.
In addition, your system can monitor intrusion attempts. Motion detectors and wireless cameras will let you know as soon as suspicious activity is detected. Alerts can be sent to you and to your monitoring company as well. Doors and windows can be protected with alarm sensors and glass break detectors, and you can even install SkyBell video doorbells on all your doors, for up-to-the-minute video and audio feed of any visitors.
There are also some general tips to keep in mind while you are away from your vacation home:
1. Keep the grass mowed. Unmowed grass practically shouts to potential intruders that you are not at home.
2. Stop all mail delivery. Even if the only mail you receive is junk mail, as it piles up it becomes obvious that no one is monitoring the home.
3. Ask someone to check on your home. Once a week or so, ask or hire someone to literally go to your home, walk through the house and take a look around the premises, just to make sure everything looks okay.
With these tips, you can make smart decisions about keeping your vacation home safe all year long.
