It is well known, burglaries are more common when you and your family go on vacation and leave the house with no one to set an eye on it . A home with no life inside is easily noticeable: no light, shutters closed … signs that makes it much easier for potential thieves. So, to avoid you unpleasant surprises upon returning from your vacation, follow these instructions and you will limit the risks!
- First, before you leave, make sure that all windows, bay windows and shutters are closed. This seems obvious, however, each year such oversights are found and cause a lot of problems that could have been easily avoided!

- Ask a neighbor , a friends or at least someone you trust to regularly pick up your mail, water the plants and check that all is well. Remember to forward your calls so that the phone does not ring all the time and no one answers .

Also note that there are devices that you program to simulate a presence in the house: it starts the TV, turns on the lights or even the radio and this at different times of day. This is a very efficient way to dissuade potential thieves from choosing your house as their next target

- It would also be very wise to install shutters in case you do not have them , because they often deter a possible intrusion. In addition to shutters and locks you should opt for a GE alarm system and remote monitoring device which are known for their high reliability and efficiency .

- for security surveillance , it will be wise to install a GE home security system. So if your system detects a presence in the house, the central station will immediately be alerted by a telephone transmitter, and between brackets and from my own experience I can tell that GE home security offers are maybe the best you could opt for.


- In addition to the electronic protection, there are other equally efficient means you can use to protect your house such as Shielded doors , high security locks and so on …
- Finally, it is strongly advised to keep invoices and other evidence of purchase or possession ( for example images) of your valuables, so can be adequately compensated by your insurance in case of burglary.

That’s it , just try to follow these rules and enjoy your summer without having to think about the security of your house .
