Summer Safety Tips To Protect Your Sandy Springs Home And Family

Summer is a time for warm weather, traveling, and creating memories with friends and family. While you should venture out and live your best life, you also should take action to secure those valued moments. Check out our simple summer safety tips and see how a modern security system can help protect your Sandy Springs home and your family. Don’t allow a security lapse to dampen your good times!

Keep Access Points Secure In Your Sandy Springs Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just be sure to secure them if you leave! Your advanced alarm system can assist by letting you know if an access point is open. If you attempt to arm your property, but inadvertently leave a door or window unsecured, your system will inform you of the security breach. You can have warnings sent through your smartphone’s home security app regardless of your location.

Stay Protected When You’re On Vacation

Numerous families holiday in the summertime, leaving homes unoccupied for many days. A smart security system with remote accessibility will keep you in touch, permitting you to view live surveillance camera footage or recorded clips through your mobile device. You may also program smart lights to switch on at different times to make your residence seem occupied. If a triggered event arises, your system will warn you and your monitoring specialists immediately.

Here are a few other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Avoid broadcasting your travels on online platforms. Even when posting privately, you can’t be certain who will see the information. As an alternative, share pictures of your trip once you get back.
  • Encourage a neighbor to monitor things and let you know if something suspicious takes place.
  • Make sure outside lights are set on a timer and turn on after dark and think about using motion-sensing lights.
