Summer is here, and you know what that means: long, sunny days spent at the lake with friends and family. But while you’re splashing around and enjoying that well-deserved break, you might be wondering about the safety of your home sweet home. Fret not! With AlarmTek Smart Security, keeping your haven secure has never been easier. Dive into these eight fun and positive tips to ensure your home remains just as you left it, even when you’re out making waves.

1. Turn On Smart Alerts

With AlarmTek smart alerts, you’re always in the loop. Whether it’s a package delivery or an unexpected guest, you’ll receive instant notifications right to your smartphone. So, even while you’re building that epic sandcastle or grilling by the lake, you’re just a tap away from knowing everything’s okay back home.

2. Timed Lighting is Lit!

Mimic the routines of an occupied house by using AlarmTek smart lighting features. Schedule lights to turn on at dusk or random intervals, giving the appearance that someone is home. Plus, who doesn’t love coming home to a lit space after a long day at the lake?

3. Lock Up With a Swipe

Forgot to lock your front door in the excitement of your lake getaway? No worries! With AlarmTek smart locks, you can lock (or unlock) your doors remotely. Plus, it’s a great party trick to show your friends!

4. Feed Fluffy from Afar

Pets at home? Pair AlarmTek with compatible smart pet feeders. This way, not only can you ensure Mr. Whiskers is well-fed, but you can also keep an eye on him and maybe even throw in a treat or two from miles away.

5. Make Friends with Your Neighbours

While technology is fantastic, there’s something comforting about human vigilance. Let a trusted neighbor know you’re away and give them a heads-up to collect any parcels or newspapers. Bonus: Return the favour with a lakeside BBQ invite or a souvenir!

6. Give the Illusion of Occupancy

Ever thought of linking your smart speakers with AlarmTek? Play your favorite summer jams or radio broadcasts at intervals, letting anyone lurking around think you’re just inside enjoying some tunes.

7. Safety in Landscaping

Before you set off, trim any overgrown shrubs or trees near windows. This not only spruces up your garden for that summer BBQ when you return but also eliminates potential hiding spots for any would-be intruders. You get both aesthetics and safety!

8. Camera Check

Ensure your AlarmTek security cameras cover all entry points, and their view isn’t obstructed. Regularly check that they’re functioning, so you can enjoy those sun-soaked lake days with the peace of mind that you can peek into your home anytime.

To conclude, summer at the lake is all about relaxation and fun, and worrying about home security shouldn’t put a damper on it. With AlarmTek Smart Security and these nifty tips, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: thrilling lake adventures and the confidence that your abode is safe and sound. Cheers to a sun-filled, splashy, and secure summer!
