Your home is at risk all the time however during hot days people become more careless and the security risk to your home rises. It is amazing to see how careless people are when it comes to security in the home. The number of people who leave spare keys under the door mat, above the doorframe or even under a plant next to the door. In some instances your insurance may not cover a break-in if you have done this so you may not be insured after all.

It’s a really warm day and like everyone else you open your windows but whatever you do make sure you close them before you go out. Even if you think you are going to be a few minutes that’s all a thief could need. You also run the risk of your alarm going off because of a small wind moved some curtains and set off a motion sensor in one of your rooms. A thief can be in and out with your valuables in a matter of minutes so don’ let them

Make sure you don’t leave valuable garden furniture and equipment in plain sight for people to easily see. Try and be discreet and place it behind a wall or plants so it is not easily seen. You should always remove any gardening tools as they can be used to break in to your home.

A simple door entry announcement system would provide a simple and very cheap alarm system. These come in two types one is connected to the door and every time the door is opened the connection is broken and the alarm goes off. Slightly more expensive is a chime with a build in motion detector, which I believe is the better option of the two.

The small battery operated alarm with the sensor is more flexible and can be moved around the home, you can put it next to patio doors or in the hallway. You can also position it so that young children can get in and out the kitchen for drinks but if they ventured further into your home the alarm would go off.

Buy buying one or more of these simple mini alarms with motion sensors you can quickly set them up and improve the safety of your home. Most can be set to chime so you know someone has gone past or you can set this to continuous alarm so you know someone is somewhere you don’t want them to be including the children.

The mini motion sensor is a great security device to take on holiday with you. You can point it at the door or next to patio doors to make sure you are not broken into whilst asleep. Nobody wants to wake up with an intruder in their bedroom.

Don’t give a thief a chance, remember most crime is of an opportunistic type and if you don’t give them the opportunity then you are less likely to be a victim. Crime prevention is the best option so contact your local police department for further advice.
