Steps to Protecting Your Home During a Vacation

Going on vacation is an extremely exciting time, and you shouldn’t have to worry about the safety of your home while you are away. Burglars often take advantages of families that are going on vacation, strategically planning their break-ins. In order to protect your home while you are on vacation, we recommend installing Chicago surveillance cameras to monitor both the outside and inside of your home. Here are some other steps you can take to protect your home.

Ask a Neighbor for Help

Find a neighbor that you can trust and mention to them that you are going on vacation. Ask them if they can keep an eye on your house while you are gone and watch out for any suspicious activity. If you have other friends or family members nearby, you can also ask them to watch your house. At the very least, let your local police department know that you will be gone.

Set Up Timers

There’s nothing that sets off a burglar like a house that is dark for days straight. Make sure to set up timers on your electronics to make it look like someone is home. Try installing electronics on your lamps, radios, televisions or more.

Watch Out for Social Media

Social media can tip off burglars if you are posting from a different city. If you are constantly posting, this can be suspicious to those who are planning to rob your home. To combat this, don’t post photos or make your accounts private.
