Summer vacations should be relaxing, not stressful

Before leaving town, take a few extra steps to help keep your home protected while you are away.

Make sure all doors, windows, garages, and other entry points are securely locked. Use timers or smart lighting to make your home look occupied, and ask a trusted neighbor, friend, or family member to collect mail, packages, and newspapers. Avoid sharing your travel plans or posting vacation photos on social media until you return, since those updates can make it clear that your home is empty.

It is also important to test your security system before your trip, confirm that all cameras and sensors are working properly, and update your emergency contact information if needed. Be sure to arm your system when you leave and use remote access to check cameras, receive alerts, and monitor activity while you are away.

A little preparation can make a big difference. Dial One Security can help you protect your home with professionally monitored security, video surveillance, smart home features, and remote system access.
