Basic Everyday Tips To Protect Your Home

Nexus Home Security 24 offers you some basic everyday tips to help keep your family and possessions safe and protected.

• Put Timers On Your Lights - Use a timer to turn interior lights on and off when you are not home. This makes it appear as though you are home, even when you are not. You can also leave a radio or television turned on when you are away.
• Keep Your Shrubs Trimmed - Untrimmed shrubs, especially around windows or entrances to your home, provide burglars with an easy place to hide while they attempt to gain access to your home.
• Always See Who It Is – When there is a knock on the door or your doorbell rings, you never know who or what is on the other side. Install a peep-hole to ensure that you can get a good look at anyone on your doorstep, and ask what they need. Children should never answer the door.
• Get A Dog – Having a dog on patrol, whether you are home or not, makes your home less attractive to anyone with less than savory intentions.
• Silence Your Mailbox – A person can learn a lot about you by looking at the contents of your mailbox. Make sure to bring your mail in each day. If you are going to be out of your home for an extended period of time, either have the post office place a pause on your mail delivery until you return, or have a trusted neighbor pick it up daily.
• Join A Neighborhood Watch – A big part of being a good neighbor is watching out for other people in your neighborhood. If you see activity that appears suspicious, call your local authorities. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
• Never Leave Notes On Your Front Door – A note on the front door is a red flag to passersby that you are out of the house. You never want to give potential intruders information that makes their entry to your home easier.
• Install a Home Security System – Your Nexus Home 24 wireless security system provides you and your family protection and security, whether home or away.
