Review our simple summer safety tips and see how a modern security system can help defend your family and your Texarkana home. Don’t let lapses in security ruin your enjoyment!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Texarkana Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze coming through your windows during cooler evenings. Just remember to close and secure them when you go out! Your high-tech alarm system can assist by notifying you if an entry is open. If you attempt to arm your property, but accidentally leave a door or window open, your system will alert you of the security breach. You can get alerts through your mobile device’s home security app regardless of your location.

Stay Connected When You’re Traveling

Numerous families holiday in the summer, leaving homes empty for longer periods. An advanced security system with remote accessibility will keep you informed, letting you see live surveillance camera streams or saved events through your cell phone. You may also configure smart lights to turn on at seemingly random times to make your residence appear occupied. If something occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring agents at once.

Here are a few other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Never broadcast your holiday on social networking sites. Even when sharing privately, you don’t really know who will view the content. Alternatively, post pictures of your travels once you get back.
  • Ask a neighbor to keep an eye on things and inform you if something suspicious arises.
  • Make sure outside lights are illuminated at night and think about installing motion-detecting lighting.
