Keep Doors And Windows Secure In Your Boston Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just be sure to secure them when you depart! Your modern alarm system can help by telling you if an access point isn’t secure.

You might also program smart lights to turn on at seemingly random times to make your home appear occupied. If an urgent situation occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring team at once.

Here are some other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Avoid broadcasting your trip on social media. Even if you publish to a private group, you don’t really know who will see the details. As an alternative, display photos of your travels once you get back.
