Summer is a time for outdoor adventures, nice weather, and making memories with friends and family. While you deserve to venture out and enjoy life, you also should take steps to preserve those precious moments. Explore our helpful summer safety tips and discover how a modern security system can help defend your Seattle home and your family. Don’t allow a security lapse to dampen your enjoyment!

Keep Doors And Windows Secure In Your Seattle Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just remember to close and secure them whenever you depart! Your modern alarm system can assist by letting you know if an access point isn’t secure. If you try to arm your home, but inadvertently leave a door or window ajar, your system will inform you of the oversight. You can get alerts through your cell phone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Maintain Protection When You’re On Vacation

Numerous families travel during the summer, leaving homes unoccupied for many days at a time. An advanced security system with remote access will keep you in touch, letting you watch real-time camera footage or stored clips through your smartphone. You might also configure smart lights to illuminate at seemingly random times to make your house look occupied. If something occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring specialists right away.

Here are a few other safety tips when leaving home:

• Never broadcast your trip on social networking sites. Even when sharing privately, you don’t really know who will view the content. Alternatively, post pictures of your travels when you return.
• Invite a neighbor to watch over things and inform you if any suspicious activity arises.
• Make certain outdoor lights are set on a timer and turn on after dark and consider using motion-sensing options.

Enjoy Yourself With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Protecting your home is vital, but you must also protect yourself and your loved ones when enjoying time outdoors. You can do so by adhering to these extra summertime safety tips:

• Monitor children around pools, busy streets, grills, and fireworks
• Shield your skin by using sunscreen and reapply frequently, especially when swimming
• Have a person in your household learn CPR
• Always go swimming with a buddy
• Wear helmets when cycling, and life jackets when on watercraft
• Be able to recognize dangerous plants and teach kids
• Always tell somebody what you’re doing
• Maintain enclosures around swimming pools and keep gates locked when not in use

Pools are one of the pleasures of the summer season, but they are also a well-documented hazard. Think about using smart locks on pool gates to elevate safety and security.
