Leaving for the Holidays? Read our tips below to keep your home safe while you're away.
-Posting on social media about leaving town before you leave puts your home at risk for burglary. We recommend posting about it and uploading pictures when you're back home!
-If you have a home security system, notify the company of the dates you'll be away.
-Ask a trusted family member, friend or neighbor to collect your mail/packages while you're away. You can also visit the local post office and ask that your mail be put on hold until you're back.
-Store devices and valuables in a fire-proof safe while staying in a hotel (or while they're kept at home). Device pass codes are good to utilize, too.
-Make it look like you're home by having your outside lights, inside lights and TV's set on a timer.
-Test remote access to work before you hit the road! |
