Summer Safety Tips To Protect Your Colorado Springs Home And Family

Summer is a time for vacations, pleasant weather, and making memories with friends and family. While you should venture out and live your best life, you also should take steps to secure those cherished moments. Review our simple summer safety tips and learn how the right security system can help safeguard your Colorado Springs home and your family members. Don’t let lapses in security dampen your good times!

Keep Doors And Windows Secure In Your Colorado Springs Home

You love the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just be sure to secure them whenever you leave! Your advanced alarm system can assist by notifying you if an entry is open. If you attempt to arm your home, but inadvertently leave a window or door unsecured, your system will notify you of the security breach. You can have warnings delivered through your smartphone’s home security app regardless of your location.

Stay Connected When You’re Traveling

Numerous families travel in the summer months, leaving residences unoccupied for days or weeks at a time. A smart security system with remote accessibility will keep you in touch, allowing you to see live camera footage or saved files through your cell phone. You might also program smart lights to illuminate at seemingly random times to make your house seem occupied. If something occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring team immediately.

Here are a few other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Avoid broadcasting your trip on social networking sites. Even when posting privately, you can’t be certain who will access the details. Instead, display photos of your vacation once you get back.
  • Ask a neighbor to monitor things and alert you if any suspicious activity takes place.
  • Make certain exterior lights are switch on at night and think about implementing motion-detecting lights.

Enjoy Yourself With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Safeguarding your home is crucial, but you also must protect yourself and your family members when enjoying time outdoors. You can do so by following these additional summertime safety tips:

  • Monitor children around pools, busy streets, grills, and fireworks
