Holiday Security Tips: Stay Safe and Secure!
The holiday season is a time for joy, but it’s also important to stay vigilant. Here are some practical security tips and prevention tips:
- Use automatic lights inside and outside your home, but make sure they don’t stay on during the day. Fit an astronomical timer to ensure they only activate when needed.
- Avoid permanent front or back garden lights. Instead, fit intelligent motion-sensor lights that activate when someone enters your home perimeter — an effective deterrent!
- Fine-tune your Ring doorbell to react specifically to humans and vehicles for better alerts.
- Consider installing active deterrence cameras that respond to suspicious activity, and link your burglar alarm system to lights for added protection.
- Add trusted neighbours to your CCTV or alarm app notifications for quick, local responses — often faster than remote services.
- Have a dog? Train them to respond to perimeter alert sounds for an extra layer of protection.
- Secure side gates and access to flat roofs with CCTV and alert systems for comprehensive coverage.
