Deter theft on your front porch! Please!
How to secure your home and keep your gifts safe?
It’s important to remember home security extends to your front yard, which means protecting your delivered packages from package thieves. Billions of packages have been delivered during the Christmas holiday season – and many of those packages sit unprotected for hours, attracting unwanted attention.
These are some tips that can help you!
Security Lighting- Protect the Sides of Your House
Intruders frequently look for windows at the sides of the house. At night, they are entirely invisible and can take their time breaking in. Install security devices with motion detectors on the sides of your home. The motion detectors will turn on the lights. As soon as the lights come on, the potential intruders will run away.
Burglars feel insecure when they’re on display when breaking into a home, and outdoor lights can prevent them from doing just that.
Since these crimes are often ones of opportunity, outdoor lights may motivate them. Rather than keeping your outdoor light on all the time, consider investing in motion-sensor lights that illuminate the yard when they detect movement. The light will catch an intruder off-guard and potentially scare them off.
Smart Locks- Upgrade your door locks
The smart lock that lets you know if your door is open!
Locking your doors and windows may not be enough if you don’t have high-quality locks.
First, make sure all outside doors have a deadbolt, making it more difficult for intruders to break in. While you’re at it, make sure your door frames and hinges are strong enough to endure an attempted break-in — older doors or exposed hinges can pose an unnecessary risk.
Finally, as mentioned above, you can upgrade to smart locks, which you can remotely engage.
Smart Doorbell
One easy way to protect you against property theft, home invasion, porch pirates, and even unwanted solicitors is to identify who is at your doorstep before opening the door.
Enter the video doorbell, the first line of defense for homeowners that not only allows you to see and speak with the person outside but also records footage of visitors that approach your door. At the same time, you’re away or unable to answer.
These devices usually use Wi-Fi to stream live video to your phone and offer a variety of features, including cloud video storage, motion detection, sirens, and interoperability with smart locks and other smart home devices.
Tips: You would like to take the extra step?

Home Security Camera System – the best security to keep your home and your luxury gifts safe in conjunction
You can use a home security system to monitor your home when you are at work or on holiday and prevent thieves from getting away from your Xmas gift.
Most home security systems today come with apps for your mobile phone. For example, you can buy a few smart light bulbs and turn them on from your smartphone at night.
Advertise the fact that you’ve installed a home security system by putting a sticker on your window or a sign in a prominent place outside your house.
If an intruder sees your security system, they have a higher chance not to break in.
