Almost every family plans a long holiday with the Christmas holidays knocking at the door. Bags are packed, plans are made, and tickets have been booked. Did you also take care of your home’s security system? Not likely. Long holidays call for more prompt security measures. There needs to be more than just installing a door lock or CCTV.

Contact professionals for home security in Norwich. They will help you with proper security alarms and advanced home security features that can help you completely secure your premises.

Here are a few home security technologies you can use while you’re on holiday.

Home security tips for securing homes while you’re on holiday

Install a smart lock

While leaving for the holidays, install a smart lock on the front door. You’ll have remote access to the lock through your smartphone, and no one can open the same without the access codes. Once you install the same, you can be assured that no burglar will have access to the property, at least through the front door.

Install a professional home monitor

Now, you need to secure the house’s windows, side doors and back doors. What’s better than a professional home monitor? This self-monitoring system installed around the house’s perimeter will send you alarms on your phone if someone tries to break in. You can inform the police and neighbours immediately.

Install environmental sensors

Apart from burglars, environmental hazards might also damage your house. That’s why you should install environmental sensors. These sensors check the air’s moisture level changes and wind direction. Installing this will give you peace of mind. You can check the changes detected by the sensors on your mobile and take precautions accordingly.

Install outdoor security lights

Burglars tend to hide in the corners, alleyways and dark spaces in the garden. Installing big outdoor security lights will make your job easy. Use a motion detector light; it will turn whenever you move. This will make your neighbours aware of unwanted presence on your premises.

Install a human presence detector

You can also install a human presence detector in and around your premises. This comprises smart lighting and sound systems. The bell will go off when human presence is detected on the premises. Along with this, install a video doorbell. This becomes helpful even when you’re home. You can check the person who is standing at your front gate.
