Check out our simple summer safety tips and learn how an advanced security system can help protect your loved ones and your Saginaw home. Don’t let lapses in security ruin your enjoyment!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Saginaw Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just remember to close and secure them whenever you depart! Your modern alarm system can help by notifying you if an entry point is unsecure. If you try to arm your home, but accidentally leave a door or window unsecured, your system will alert you of the security lapse. You can get alerts through your cell phone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Stay Connected When You’re Traveling

Many families holiday during the summertime, leaving residences empty for extended times. An advanced security system with remote access will keep you in touch, permitting you to see real-time surveillance video or stored files through your cell phone. You might also configure smart lights to switch on at certain times to make your house appear inhabited. If an urgent event arises, your system will notify you and your monitoring agents immediately.

Here are some other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Don’t broadcast your holiday on online platforms. Even when posting privately, you don’t really know who will view the information. Instead, display pictures of your trip once you get back.
  • Encourage a neighbor to keep an eye on things and alert you if any suspicious activity arises.
  • Ensure outside lights are illuminated after dark and consider implementing motion-sensing lights.
