Summer Safety Tips To Safeguard Your Utica Home And Family

Summer is the time for traveling, nice weather, and creating memories with loved ones. While you should venture out and appreciate life, you should also take precautions to preserve those cherished moments. Review our helpful summer safety tips and learn how an advanced security system can help protect your Utica home and your family. Don’t let security lapses ruin your fun in the sun!

Keep Doors And Windows Secure In Your Utica Home

You love the summer breeze drifting through your windows during cooler evenings. Just don’t forget to secure them if you go out! Your advanced alarm system can assist by letting you know if an entry is unsecure. If you proceed to activate your alarm, but inadvertently leave a window or door ajar, your system will alert you of the security lapse. You can have warnings delivered through your mobile device’s home security app regardless of your location.

Stay Protected When You’re Traveling

Numerous families travel during the summer months, leaving residences unoccupied for one or multiple weeks. An advanced security system with online accessibility will keep you in touch, letting you see live surveillance video or stored files through your mobile device. You might also set smart lights to switch on at certain times to make your house look inhabited. If an urgent event occurs, your system will warn you and your monitoring agents at once.

Here are some other safety tips when going on vacation:

  • Never broadcast your travels on social media. Even if you share to a private group, you don’t really know who will view the information. Alternatively, display pictures of your travels when you return.
  • Invite a neighbor to watch over things and alert you if any suspicious activity takes place.
  • Ensure exterior lights are illuminated after nightfall and consider implementing motion-detecting lighting.

Protect Those Precious Moments With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Securing your home is essential, but you also need to protect yourself and your family during your time outdoors. All you need to do is adhere to these summertime safety tips:

  • Monitor children around fireworks, grills, pools, and busy streets
  • Protect your skin with sunscreen and reapply often, particularly when swimming
  • Have someone in your home get trained in CPR
  • Always go swimming with a friend
  • Don helmets when biking, and life jackets when boating
  • Be knowledgeable of poisonous plants and teach loved ones
  • Always tell somebody where you’re going
  • Maintain enclosures around pools and secure gates when not in use

Pools are one of the pleasures of the summertime, but they are also a recognized danger. Think about implementing smart locks on pool gates to enhance your security and safety.
