5 Holiday Home Security Tips To Keep Your Home And Family Safe
Dallas is the ninth largest city in the United States. It is no surprise that the city's huge population has growing crime rates. A lot of homeowners are getting home security systems in Dallas to protect their property and also their families.
While doing Christmas shopping a few days ago, a woman in line said to me that two weeks before a guy followed her to her house and threatened her in front of her home. She called the Dallas police right away and filed a police report, and luckily nothing was stolen; but what truly troubled her is knowing that this individual was still out there.
It is important to keep in mind as the holidays approach that crime rate is increasing; do not take the chance of letting somebody take your valuable belongings or put your family's safety at risk by not fully securing your property.
Here are just a few ways to show you how a home alarm system can help you protect your home and family this holidays -
- Keep an eye on your house while you're out of town visiting friends and family during the holiday seasons. This helps maintain peace of mind knowing that you'll be notified immediately by the monitoring station if your house is broken into- also excellent way to protect all the expensive Christmas gifts.
- Protect your Holiday gifts from Grinches. You might have just bought a TV or a new computer as a Christmas present for a friend. Do not put these expensive gifts under the tree until the night before Christmas. Most importantly arm your security system when you are away.
- Arm and disarm your system remotely from work, the mall, or anywhere you have your cell phone or ipad. You can utilize the system features remotely from your smart phone or computer; making it convenient to disarm the system for your house sitter or cleaner while you are away.
- Receive notifications when your kids arrive home from school or work to know that they are safe and sound. Keeping an eye on the house until you are home is a smart way to keep an eye on your kids. You can assign a user code specifically for each person who uses the system. That way you know when they arrive at the house and when they leave the house.
- Schedule reminders to arm and disarm your alarm in case you don't remember. This is very helpful when you're rushing out the door to all of the holiday celebrations and family gatherings.
Homeowners of Dallas find it smarter to be proactive in securing their homes rather than dealing with the consequences later when things go wrong. All it takes is one frightening situation to ruin the holidays and maybe more. And that's why Dallas home security is always our number one priority.
