Summer Safety Tips To Shield Your Salem Home And Family

Summer is known for vacations, warm weather, and creating memories with loved ones. While you should head out and live your best life, you should also take action to secure those valued moments. Review our beneficial summer safety tips and discover how an advanced security system can help safeguard your Salem home and your family members. Don’t let a security lapse spoil your enjoyment!

Keep Access Points Secure In Your Salem Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze flowing through your windows in the evenings. Just remember to shut and secure them whenever you go out! Your high-tech alarm system can help by letting you know if an access point is open. If you try to arm your property, but inadvertently leave a window or door unsecured, your system will notify you of the security lapse. You can have warnings delivered through your mobile device’s home security app regardless of your location.

Stay Protected When You’re Away

Numerous families holiday in the summer months, leaving houses unoccupied for extended times. An advanced security system with online accessibility will keep you in touch, permitting you to watch live surveillance camera streams or recorded events through your cell phone. You may also program smart lights to switch on at seemingly random times to make your residence appear inhabited. If something happens, your system will warn you and your monitoring specialists immediately.

Here are some other safety tips when travelling:

  • Avoid broadcasting your holiday on social media. Even when posting privately, you don’t really know who will view the details. Instead, post pics of your trip when you return.
  • Ask a neighbor to monitor things and alert you if any suspicious activity takes place.
  • Make sure exterior lights are illuminated at night and think about using motion-detecting lighting.
