It’s that time of year when, as the weather cools, many people bid farewell to the chilly season by heading overseas to enjoy their vacation. In the excitement of planning their trip, many people overlook the importance of protecting their homes and security systems.

We can’t blame you: we’d rather think about sipping cocktails on the beach than worrying about home security! Unfortunately, opportunistic thieves aren’t too concerned with ruining your holiday and are perfectly content to leave you with a dreadful welcome home gift (an empty house).

Don’t worry, we’ve got a few pointers to keep your home secure while you’re away.

Tip #1: Back to base alarm monitoring for your home

Protect yourself at all times, whether you’re at home or not, with a home security system that provides peace of mind. Not only can you check in on your home at any time with a back-to-base alarm, but our monitoring center also keeps an eye on your property.

Tip #2: Avoid social media and be cautious about who you talk to. We understand how badly you want to post that picture of you on the beach to show your coworkers that while they’re working, you’re swimming, but consider the consequences. You’re basically announcing that your house has been left unattended.

Tip #3: Take all of your valuables with you.

We’ve mentioned it before: if you have valuables that are worth a lot of money or are important to you, invest in a safe. Consider storing items you don’t use frequently in a bank safety deposit box.
