NYC Home Security Tips for Spring Break Travels
4 Tips to Protect Your NYC Home While on Vacation
Keep your home or apartment safe while you’re away!
It’s the season of Spring Break, and many families take advantage of this time with an escape from the New York City cold and embark on sunny family vacations. To protect your NYC residence, Target Security Systems has established a list of 4 simple tips to better improve NYC home security and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
Protect Your Home or Apartment with These Simple Tips
1. Schedule Home Check-ins with a Neighbor
To keep your New York City home or apartment safe while you’re away, we strongly recommend asking a friend or neighbor to check-in on your home. Even if you don’t have animals or plants that need attention, the simple act of having someone there periodically is an effective crime deterrent. Ask whomever is checking on your home to collect your mail as well and put it inside your home or apartment.
Still uneasy? As an added measure, utilize the iDor Mobile App with your smartphone to let you know exactly who is checking on your home and precisely when they arrive.
2. Check Existing Door and Window Locks
A simple, effective NYC home security tip is to check your locks. Before you leave on your vacation, double check the functionality and integrity of your door and window locks. Pay extra attention to securing doors and windows with fire escape access.
3. Utilize a Light Timer
A simple way to protect your home or apartment while you’re away is to use a light-switch timer. Installing automatic timers on interior lighting throughout your home and setting television timers just before you leave are great deterrents for burglars. If you’re forgetful when leaving the house in a hurry, don’t fret. With our Honeywell Total Connected Services feature, you can not only arm and disarm your alarm system using your smart phone, you can also control access as well as monitor and control home lighting and AC from anywhere in the world!
