The Holiday Climax is over and our houses are overloaded with all the new gifts. This is a great time to talk about safety. There are people in the world who are on the prowl looking for cars, homes and business to break into. Many have new vehicles, and new tech in our homes and offices. This is too much of a temptation for the thieves on the block. They saw the boxes on the curb and now they want your hard earned possessions. In order to keep things safe right now, here are a few suggestions.
Tips For Keeping Your Home Safe
- Packages: Do not leave delivered packages unattended. If you are going to be away during a delivery, arrange for a neighbor to sign for it.
- Trees: Keep your trees watered and keep the lights unplugged overnight and when you are away. If you have your tree in your window, make sure you can still see your property from that window if it is the only window in that room. You need a view of your property at all times.
- Trash: After you have opened gifts, consider taking boxes to the local dump or recycling area. Thieves are on the lookout in the days after Christmas to see what boxes you discarded. This tells them if there are large items like computers, gaming systems, televisions and more inside.
- Trips: If you are going to be away during the holidays, notify your neighbors as well as your local police department. Many police departments will send a car to drive by if they have available officers in your area.
- Visitors: When yo have a knock at the door or the bell rings, you must be cautious, especially this time of year. Many thieves will pretend to be a delivery service or utility worker. If you have a home commutations system like the VTech Phones Audio/Video Door Answering System, you can verify who is at your door before you open it.

With its combination of doorbell, phone system and digital camera, you get a great home security system which is also affordable.

You can push to talk to the visitor with the simple push of a button, the phone can store up to 50 numbers and save up to 100 photos. It has a backlit keypad and display, ECO Mode power-conserving technology and you can expand your system up to 10 handsets and 2 cameras.
