Home security is a constant concern for residents of Mexico City, and the worry only increases when we are going on vacation. How can I protect my home and take essential measures to make my absence as discreet as possible?
In this article, we will tell you 5 effective tips to make your home safe before leaving on vacation.
1-Install a home security system
This is the first piece of advice we can always give you. One of the most effective ways to protect your home is by installing a security system; you can do it your way, with WIFI cameras, at a very affordable price.
These cameras can give you greater visibility into everything that's happening in your home—even when you're away, depending on the model you choose—but at the end of the day, you're on your own when a real threat occurs.
Alarms, security cameras, motion sensors and high-security locks can eventually deter criminals and provide evidence in the event of an incident, but they do not necessarily help you prevent it before it happens. That is why we recommend hiring reliable professionals for the installation and maintenance of these systems and, above all, capable of responding instantly, in person, when any attempt at theft or infiltration occurs.
2-Reinforce doors and windows: a security classic that never loses its validity in Mexico City
Doors and windows are the most vulnerable points in any home. Sometimes, the most experienced burglars only need a moment to rob not one, but several apartments in the same building .
So before you leave:
- Make sure all exterior doors are made of sturdy materials and have quality locks.
- Consider installing security bars on windows and laminated glass to make them harder to break.
- Make sure all locks are in good working order and use them whenever you leave the house.
3. Implement smart lighting for your home
With insecurity and mistrust being the norm in Mexico, it is not in vain that 7 out of 10 Mexicans fear for their home every time they are away.
How many times have you left the light and TV on for hours, days, or even weeks, spending a fortune on electricity, just to make people think someone is home? The truth is that it was, at the time, the least bad option, but with the technology available today, you should be able to control everything remotely with the Pro Outdoor Camera cuid , which allows you to turn the light on and off remotely.
4-Install an outdoor light
Proper lighting on the outside of your home can be a key deterrent to criminals. Install motion lights in key areas, such as driveways, garages, and backyards. Not only will this illuminate the area when someone approaches, but it will also alert neighbors and deter intruders.
If you can also add a camera with two-way audio , you can easily persuade criminals or simply chat with a delivery person or any visitor when you are not at home - or when you are there, but you don't want them to find out 😉
5-Connect with your neighbors
Collaborating with your neighbors can be a fundamental tool to improve security in your home. If you don't know your new neighbors yet, it's time to ask for their contacts and try to join the WhatsApp group in the area. They say that information is power and this is more valid than ever for your security, so don't hesitate to connect with people in your neighborhood to find out how they prevent home security.
