There’s nothing that can ruin a vacation more than the constant thought of something bad happening to your home. The majority of residential burglaries occur during the summer months of July and August when homeowners are most likely to travel. Enjoy peace of mind by using the tips below to help you protect your home during the summer months and year round.

Lighting and Blinds

Make it look like someone is home can be the best defense against burglary. Don’t give criminals reasons to suspect that you’re on vacation. A modern smart lighting system, such as Lutron can be programmed to make your house looked lived in and can be controlled from your mobile phone in case you want to change the lighting remotely.

Install Surveillance Cameras

Alarm systems are great but alarms alert you after the fact. Surveillance cameras can let you know before something is amiss with motion detection that can discern a person from a car. View all of your doors and windows and even inside your home from your phone while you are on vacation. 

A Ring doorbell is especially handy against package thieves, accepting deliveries even when you're not home. Surveillance cameras can ease your mind when you're away as you can always check on what's happening through a live feed.

Remote Monitoring

Regardless of how reliable your network and integrated system is, technology systems occasionally experience disruptions. Give yourself peace of mind with a service plan that offers remote monitoring and support so that if your system goes offline a technician can resolve the problem remotely. Free My Music is now offering careFREE Tech Support plans that provide 24/7/365 service whether you are home or away.
