With spring break in full swing, you may be ready to take the family on a short vacation away from home.
5 beautiful days away from home, away from responsibility – but that doesn’t mean we don’t care about what we leave behind or who may KNOW you’re away.
Be sure your home stays safe while you’re at play! Did you know that there are more than 580,000 breaks in every year in the United States? If your property is not currently protected, call All Florida Alarms today to install a video camera, motion sensor lights, or an alarm system, all controlled right from your smart phone. Spring breakers tend to get rowdy and may trespass, or even destroy personal property.
To reduce the risk of break ins, take steps to not leave hints that you’re away. A ring device allows you to talk to someone at the front door and they wont know you’re not home. Tell a trusted neighbor to take in any packages left at your door, and bring in your mail.
Renting your house to Vrbo or Airbnb? Protect your property from damage with video surveillance (outside only).
The only thing you should be worrying about while on vacation is where your next pina colada is coming from!
What about those who choose to stay in home?
Springtime is also a great time to check your smoke alarm batteries and test your current alarm system to insure it is active and functional. Check by reaching out to your central system and asking them to do a test. Make sure you have your passcode written down somewhere safe, so you don’t forget. You can also choose to share it with a trusted family member who will be reliable if it ever goes off and you’re away from your home.
