As summer settles in, one can protect their family and valuables by implementing a few security tips. As a home security solution provider, we know the main points a burglar can attempt to target. In this article, I am going to list some of the most vulnerable areas in your home and explain how adding a home alarm system can help you make sure that those areas are secure during the summer season.

Home owners can become apathetic about their home security during the summer season. They might keep their windows open to enjoy the summer breeze, go into their garden or go next door to the neighbor’s house; while leaving their home alone and prone to a break-in. With the help of some simple security tips, a homeowner can protect their family and other valuables. Here are some tips that can help you protect your home, which you can implement around your home:

Securing All Doors
Regardless of the season, one can make a habit of keeping the doors unlocked. Let's say you are resting on your lounge chair after toiling in your garden and you dooze off for a bit; or you take a nap after completing some chores around the house. The main doors of your home can be unlocked by intruders while you are asleep. A home security system can detect the unwanted intruders and warn you in such a case if it does happen. You can even lock the doors to your home remotely by using a home automation system.

Making Sure Your Windows Are Secured
While windows are not the entry point of any home, they can be an easy entry point for an intruder to gain access to your home. Don’t forget to close your windows after enjoying a nice cold breeze. Make sure all your windows are locked before leaving your home. You can also add another layer of protection to your windows by installing an alarm system.

Securing Your Garage
There might be instances where you may forget to lock your garage door.  For example, maybe you’re mowing your lawn and the phone rings. You rush inside and leave the garage door open. A burglar can quickly swipe your power tools and other valuables.

Securing Your Gate
The fence gate or even the main gate on your property can provide you, or any home owner, an extra layer of protection. A burglar will try to forcefully open your main gate or fence gate, before rushing to your home. By installing a security system, the surveillance camera and motion sensors will activate if they sense movement. Once your system detects movement, it will activate lights – capturing an intruder. This feature is the best obstacle for any potential intruder.

Securing Your Deck
As a homeowner, you may enjoy spending summer on your deck with lawn furniture, a grill and bicycles laying around. These are only some of the items on your deck that may attract unwanted guest. A Home Security System Installer can help you ward off and warn you of potential intruders
