Protecting Your Home While On Vacation

When you are leaving your property for vacation, a lot of factors contribute towards a good security plan. Trying to establish a security solution right before a vacation can be overwhelming, though, at Maverick Security we can make this process relatively stress-free. 

Before we continue, consider the peace of mind security systems can provide while you’re away. There are many components to keep your home safe from vandalism, warnings of a fire, flood, or home invasion. If you are in need of a new security system, give us a call today to see the many options available to you at (713)532-9005.

Here are some other approaches for you to take:

Outdoor Lighting 

However, at minimum having a motion sensor to detect movement outside your property is a great start. By installing a lighting system surrounding your property, thieves will be less likely to try and break into your home due to there not being any cover in the dark. Even if no one is present, burglars will naturally hesitate before possibly breaking into your house, especially if cameras are present as well.  

Security Cameras

While security lights are an efficient approach to home security, reinforcing them with security cameras is a recommended course of action. With outdoor lighting discouraging potential thieves, it’ll also aid your security system to have a clear view of what may be occurring. Most systems today will alert you automatically if a potential invader is present, but you also have full 24/7 access to view the cameras on your property. Having a video doorbell camera is also a great addition to take for surveillance of your front door directly. 

Minimize Social Media Posts About Vacation

As often as you see others sharing vacation photos at the moment, it’s best to refrain from posts until you are done with the vacation. Criminals have been known to take advantage of those who share they are currently on vacation, often burglarizing or vandalizing the property. To prevent this from happening to you, make posts once you are back home and make captions referencing being back from your vacation. You can take other proactive approaches such as turning off GPS, online orders, and mail etc.

Home Security Sensors

Finally, we have many sensors available to you through our products from ADT and Hikvision. Security cameras are a valuable asset, however, they cannot detect home break ins such as broken windows or doors. With the sensors available, they can detect and alert you when a door is opened, glass is broken, or if a window is opened. Along with this, your property will receive a yard sign to serve as a further deterrent to would be burglars. 

If you are looking to secure your property throughout the year, trust Maverick Security. By utilizing the product we are licensed to provide through ADT and Hikvision, you will be taking a proactive security measure for prompt response times, and deterring home burglaries from occurring.
