Steps You Should Take to Make Your Home a More Secure Place

Posted on December 10, 2021December 10, 2021 by Robert

The last thing anyone wants is to find out one day that an intruder broke into their home without them knowing and caused them or their property harm. Safety and security are a major concern for anyone, and we’re always looking for ways to make sure our home is as safe for us and our loved ones as possible. 

If you just moved to a new place, you need to start thinking about how to make sure it’s as safe as possible for you. The first step is to change the locks to make sure no one else has access to your home, and then to upgrade or install a trusty security system. 

Keep reading for some helpful tips and advice. 

Secure Your Windows 

Windows can be easy entry points for any intruder, whether it’s because you accidentally left it open or because they had the tools to break it. 

One of the many benefits of alarm window contacts is that they will be able to alert you of anyone entering your home through the windows, as well as letting you know which window it is. This can be vital in ensuring your safety in case of a break-in. 

These little security devices are made for easy installation, and most of the latest models can be controlled through an app on your phone as well. 

Add a Video Doorbell 

Over 38% of thieves enter a home straight through the front door, and many will probably leave you alone if they realize your home won’t be that easy to enter unannounced. You can boost your security with the help of a video doorbell. 

The latest video doorbells have motion sensors that record anyone that approaches the front door and alert you to their presence, with many having facial recognition features that make it easier for you to grant access to certain people you trust. 

As with most security devices these days, these ones will be controlled through your phone, with a whole array of features offered by devices from different brands. 

Install Lighting 

One of the easiest ways to keep intruders away is to make sure there’s no way for them to easily sneak up on your home. If you have a front yard, make sure it’s well lit up. Even making sure your residential street has proper street lights will be a huge deterrent to anyone who wants to engage in shady or criminal activity. 

The threat of being seen approaching a home and trying to break in, being recognized, or even being caught is enough to keep most prospective intruders at bay. 

Secure Your WiFi 

In case you use a lot of online security gadgets, you need to take online safety seriously too. If your WiFi network isn’t secure, your security gadgets are at the risk of being hacked and controlled. Not only this, but you can even have your personal information stolen. 

One of the easiest ways to make sure your WiFi is hard to break into is to make sure you have a strong and personalized password. Phrases like “incorrect” or “password” are incredibly easy to guess, but any hacker will have a harder time if you do this one simple thing. 

You also need to make sure your WiFi network is up-to-date and all the gadgets you’re using are equipped with the latest features.
