You should secure your house when you’re on vacation by following these steps:
Install a home security system. In addition, sign up for 24/ 7 professional monitoring, at least while you will be away.
Check your home’s security system before you leave. Make sure devices are working properly and have fresh batteries.
Alert your security company. Let your security company know where you’re going and how long you’ll be away.
Talk to your neighbors. Ask neighbors to keep an eye on your house while you’re gone.
Make your home look like you’re there. Suspend the mail, keep your lawn tidy, set your lights to go off and on, and park a car in your driveway.
