When it comes to our loved ones, we cannot compromise on their safety. Homes are supposed to be our safe haven, and hence we should take all measures to keep our abodes away from any mishaps. Be it fire, theft or any accident, there should be all measures taken to keep these away. Fortunately, there are many quick, simple steps you can take to make your home more secure right away. In this blog, we’ll include top home security tips you can use to make your home safer for yourself and your loved ones.

Double-check your locks

This might seem obvious, but many researchers have revealed that one-third of all home burglars enter through unlocked doors and windows. No matter how much rush you are in, double-check your locks before leaving. It’s better to be safe than sorry. At night as well, you never know when deep sleep can hit you, hence in the name of caution, it is in the best interest to lock all entrances and sleep.

Install a home alarm system

Home alarms are worth the investment. If anyone ever tried to trespass on your property, even the initial sound will be enough to scare off many would-be home intruders. Moreover, thanks to technology and online selling portals, you can find many affordable options of amazing quality. Also, smartphone technology has made it easier than ever to conveniently manage your alarm system from anywhere.

Get a home security camera

Today you can usually find an all-in-one home security system that includes cameras, or you can buy them separately to make the instalment more affordable. Cameras can help you with surveillance in your absence, and help you get justice if you do experience a home burglary. Cameras in the exterior can also safeguard from falling victim to “porch pirates” who quickly steal packages right from your front door. Moreover, cameras can be a boon for your parking area as well.

Keep spare keys in a lock box

Keeping keys under the doormat, in the mailbox, or under a vase is so common that thieves search for these places at the first chance. These obvious hiding spots for your front door keys are an invitation for home burglars. Sometimes you can’t avoid having to leave a key for someone, but when you do, keep it in a lockbox so no one else can access it. The passcode of the lockbox should only be known to the family members.

Don’t overshare on social media

You might not even realize the ways you’re making your home more vulnerable to thefts through the internet. Posting photos of your home with the address plate visible, sharing your address through online event invites or public comments, or sharing the details of your upcoming extended vacation are all ways you open yourself up to an increased risk of home invasion. Refrain from posting your address in publicly viewable places, and keep the details about your vacation not very obvious until you return home.

Password protect your wifi network

Gone are the days when thefts were constrained to physical items. There are hackers today who can get onto your wifi network and access your private information. They can use that information to monitor your home and even control wifi-connected security devices like cameras and alarm systems. Money phishing through these procedures has also become a common practice. Keep your wifi network protected and refrain from sharing the password with neighbours or whoever is not a resident of your home.

Keep a check on announcing large purchases

Think it through before posting that diamond necklace you just bought on social media. A blingy lifestyle can bring you uninvited attention, and sometimes from the wrong people. Even the boxes and bags you put out on the curb on trash day can tell potential burglars a lot about what valuables are inside your home. Take extra steps to avoid this by breaking down boxes and folding them so that brand and product names aren’t visible. The extra effort is worth it to avoid the heartbreak of having your hard-earned possessions stolen right after you purchase them.

Keep valuables in bank lockers

In some cases, it’s best to take the advantage of bank locker systems. If you are not someone who needs your precious jewellery, or your silver coins in day-to-day life, it would be wisest to keep them in the bank locker. Sometimes, no matter what we do, burglars will find their way into our homes. There’s no way we can protect everything we own, but it’s a good idea to put your most valuable possessions like most precious possessions and important documents, in the most secure places.

Knowing that you are in a secure environment can give you all the peace you need. Especially, when you have to leave behind a few family members and travel, it would be best to choose a gated community and keep stress at bay for a lifetime.
