Planning a long holiday or a quick weekend getaway?
No matter how far you go, ensure your home is safe and sound with these foolproof tips
Be it a long overseas vacation or a quick weekend getaway, one thing that homeowners have in the back of their minds is the safety of their house when they are away. An unoccupied house can be an easy target for burglars, but with smart planning and the right measures, you can leave your worries behind while enjoying a well-deserved break.
So, as you finalise your itinerary and pack your bags, remember to prioritise home security for a truly worry-free holiday.
Easy road connectivity and the availability of many neighbouring countries offering visa-free options have made Indians eager travelers. Consequently, CCTV cameras, digital safety locks, and IOT-enabled home security systems have gained popularity. Moreover, “A sneaky yet effective way of ensuring your home is safe is by installing light timers or smart lights that you can control from your phone. Turn on a few lights in the house at night to make it look occupied. Do note, that you would need a functioning WIFI to control these devices.”
Things that should be checked before heading out for a vacation:
Install a security system:
Set up alarms, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors to monitor activity around your home.
Notify trusted neighbours or friends:
Ask them to watch over your property and collect any mail or packages.
Limit public sharing of travel plans
Avoid excessively posting vacation details on social media, which could alert potential intruders.
Store valuables securely:
Place valuable items in a safe or a discreet, hidden location.
