Next, if you are unsure of your houses safety, feel free to call the police. They can walk you through your home and give you suggestions for a tighter ship. If you really want to get creative, let your neighbors or friends “burglarize” your home and take valuable possessions. This will allow you to better gage what needs to be hidden better or where best to place objects.
The rest of the suggestions may seem obvious at first glance, but when you think about it, they can make a big difference.
Robbers will be less likely to pick your house if you light up the outdoors and give the impression you are home. Even something as simple as cutting down plants can help eliminate potential hiding spots. If you really want to get sneaky, place a bunch of signs up in your yard that threatens a big vicious dog in your home. I know I wouldn’t rob a house if I knew they had a giant attack dog.
Speaking of hiding spots, don’t try to be sneaky and place a spare key to your house under a welcome mat, in your mailbox or hidden somewhere else on your front porch. Sure it may work out for you, but why take that risk when you don’t have to. Chances are high that robbers know all the typical tricks and where to look, so why even give them a chance?
Instead, if you worry about getting locked out of your home then give your spare key to a trusted neighbor or near-by relative. Sure it may take a little more work to have them come over to let you in, or you having to drive to their home, but it is the price to pay for total safety.
At the end of the day, residential security systems and residential video surveillance can play a big role in keeping your house safe and secure. Follow the above tips along with your home security devices from Greenwood and patrons can rest easy knowing they are secure.
