When it comes to safety, it is important to think about your home’s entries and how easily they can be monitored. Having multiple entryways increases your chances of a break in, especially if one of these entries is hidden from the street view.

Smart devices have come a long way and are much more affordable. Depending on cost, installation requirements, and the complexity of your chosen system, adding the ability to control everything from your phone is definitely worth it.

Although a home security system will give you the best protection, some changes to the home can increase security. For example, keeping trees and bushes trimmed helps neighbors spot anyone trying to break in.

This is almost a given, but your system should allow you to see what is happening at your doorstep (especially to deter porch pirates). In case someone does enter the home, internal cameras can help alert you and monitor their every move for police records later.

Having a sensor at every door and every window is essential for your home security. San Antonio residents can guard against breaking and entering by ensuring that all their entry points are secure. These sensors are especially helpful when you are at work or on vacation.

Lighting comes in all shapes and sizes. Installing motion-sensor flood lights outside is a good idea. But don’t stop there. You can also install smart lights that you can control from a mobile device inside to simulate being there even when nobody is home.
