Summer is the season for relaxation, vacations, and creating lasting memories with family and friends. But while you’re enjoying the sun and enjoying that well-deserved break, you may be wondering about the safety of your home. At AlarmTek Smart Security, we prioritize your safety during these fun-filled months, so you can focus on enjoying every moment without worry. Dive into these five essential summer safety tips to keep your home and family protected while you soak up the sunshine.


1. Secure Your Home Before Vacation

Before embarking on your summer adventures, make sure your home is secured. Lock all doors and windows, and activate your AlarmTek Smart Security system. Inform a trusted neighbor about your travel plans and use timers for lights to create the impression that someone is home.

2. Be Cautious with Social Media

Sharing vacation plans on social media can inadvertently alert potential intruders to your absence. It’s safer to wait until you’re back home to share your travel experiences. Ensure your social media accounts are set to private and avoid posting specific dates and locations while you’re away.

3. Protect Your Outdoor Spaces

Summer is ideal for enjoying your yard, but it’s also important to secure it. Lock up lawn mowers, grills, and other valuable equipment in a shed or garage. Install motion-activated lights and upgrade to our Clearvision Ultra HD Outdoor Camera to keep an eye on your property and deter intruders.

4. Keep an Eye on Fire Hazards

With increased outdoor activities, fire hazards become a concern. Always keep your grill at least 10 feet away from your house and flammable materials. A smart home security system from AlarmTek can include smoke detectors for an added layer of protection.

5. Stay Informed with Smart Technology

Take advantage of smart home technology to keep your home secure. Use the AlarmTek VideoHub app to monitor your home in real-time, receive alerts, and control your security system from anywhere. Install smart locks to remotely manage your doors and equip your home with sensors to detect water leaks and temperature changes from anywhere.
