Holiday Home Security Tips

The festive season has some of the highest number of home robberies and break-ins. Here are a few tips to secure your home this season if you are travelling:

1. Secure tools and accessories
   Remove tools, ladders or other accessories that could be used to break into your home. 
2. Use technology
   Use tech to protect your home. Some solutions include the tried and tested motion detector alarms, security cmarea’s  which link and alert on your phone allowing you to talk directly to possible intruders that they are being watched and security is on its way, smart security lighting and many more tech solutions available locally.
3. Get someone to watch over the house
   Get a relative to come over for the period you won’t be around, have a neighbour check your home or hire a security guard. Occupied houses are not as attractive to thieves.
4. Update your insurance
   Make sure your insurance is up to date. Just in case all else fails, insurance will cover for theft or damages caused by attempted theft during your absence.
