When going away on holiday, it’s crucial to ensure your home is secure from prying eyes and potential break-ins. Here are some effective tips to help prevent your property from being targeted:

1. Inform Your Neighbors

Let a trusted neighbor know you’re taking a vacation. They can keep an eye on your property and alert you or the local authorities about any suspicious behavior.

2. Use Self-Timing Lights

Investing in self-timing lights can enhance your home’s security by giving the impression that the property is occupied at night, deterring potential intruders.

3. Install a Home Security System

Consider investing in a home security or alarm system. This provides a robust layer of protection for your property and peace of mind while you’re away.

4. Utilize Wi-Fi Security Cameras

Having Wi-Fi security cameras allows you to view and record live video footage from your smartphone, giving you access to monitor your property from anywhere in the world.

5. Use Security Stickers

Security stickers can create the illusion of a secure property. Many homes display warning stickers indicating the presence of security cameras, even if none are installed, which can deter criminals.

6. Consider Dummy Cameras

Dummy or fake security cameras are a cost-effective alternative to a real security system, providing the illusion of surveillance. This deterrent can help keep your property safe.

7. Practice Common Sense

Common sense is vital for personal and home security. Avoid broadcasting your vacation plans on social media, and ensure that your valuables are securely locked away in a home safe.

Conclusion

By taking these proactive steps, you can significantly enhance your home security while enjoying your time away. For any inquiries about safes or security solutions, contact Terry’s Locksmiths at (07) 5601 1820 or visit our showroom at 2 Prosper Cres, Burleigh Heads.
