Summer Safety Tips To Shield Your Brooklyn Home And Family

Summer is a time for vacations, nice weather, and creating memories with loved ones. While you deserve to get out and enjoy life, you should also take precautions to preserve those precious moments. Review our beneficial summer safety tips and see how a modern security system can help safeguard your Brooklyn home and your family members. Don’t let security lapses dampen your fun in the sun!

Keep Doors And Windows Secure In Your Brooklyn Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze flowing through your windows at night. Just be sure to secure them when you go out! Your modern alarm system can assist by telling you if an access point is unsecure. If you proceed to activate your alarm, but accidentally leave a window or door open, your system will notify you of the security lapse. You can have warnings delivered through your smartphone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Stay Protected When You’re On Vacation

Countless families vacation during the summer months, leaving homes empty for longer periods. An advanced security system with online accessibility will keep you connected, letting you watch real-time surveillance camera video or stored files through your mobile device. You might also program smart lights to switch on at seemingly random times to make your house look occupied. If an urgent situation occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring specialists at once.

Here are some other safety tips when going on vacation:

  • Don’t broadcast your holiday on online platforms. Even when sharing privately, you don’t really know who will view the information. Alternatively, display photos of your vacation when you return.
  • Ask a neighbor to monitor things and alert you if something suspicious occurs.
  • Make sure outdoor lights are switch on at night and consider installing motion-sensing lighting.

Have Fun In The Sun With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Safeguarding your home is essential, but you must also protect yourself and your family during your time outdoors. You can do so by adhering to these additional summertime safety tips:

  • Watch children around pools, busy streets, grills, and fireworks
  • Shield your skin with sunscreen and reapply frequently, especially when swimming
  • Have a person in your family get certified in CPR
  • Always swim with a another person
  • Wear life jackets when on boats and helmets when riding bikes
  • Be knowledgeable of poisonous plants and inform loved ones
  • Always let someone know what you’re doing
