Keep your business and home safe this summer
We might still be missing the sunshine but it is summer holiday time again and that means its time to talk summer security! The school holiday period is prime burglary time in NZ for homes and business’s as burglars take advantage of empty premises.
When the weather is nice, the kids are off school and everyone is out and about there is a marked increase in opportunistic crime. It’s important to be safe during these summer months.
You can protect your business premises, possessions and your home with some simple security precautions. Here are a few summer tips:
- Lock your windows and doors – people can often forget to check their windows & doors are locked and secure before they head away. About 30% of break in’s are through an open door or window
- Security cameras are always a good idea for peace of mind
- Don’t forget to set your alarm – with all the excitement of leaving the office or home for a holiday setting the alarm can be overlooked. Make sure your key holder contacts are up to date for monitoring
- Keep valuables out of direct site – this goes for work & home
- Motion activated lights are a great deterrent to the would be burglar
- Don’t post your holiday plans on social media
- Make your home look like someone is home even if they are not
Making your home or business look more secure will make your property a less appealing target to opportunistic thieves. At Insight EDS, we can make sure your business or home is safe whether you are there or not.
