Summer is the time for pleasant weather, vacations, and creating memories with loved ones. While you deserve to get out and enjoy life, you also should take steps to secure those valued moments. Check out our simple summer safety tips and learn how an advanced security system can help protect your New Orleans home and your family members. Don’t let a security lapse ruin your good times!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your New Orleans Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze drifting through your windows during cooler evenings. Just remember to shut and secure them when you depart! Your high-tech alarm system can help by notifying you if an entry isn’t secure. If you attempt to activate your alarm, but mistakenly leave a window or door open, your system will inform you of the security lapse. You can have warnings sent through your cell phone’s home security app no matter where you are.

Maintain Protection When You’re Traveling

Countless families holiday in the summer, leaving homes empty for extended periods. An advanced security system with remote access will keep you connected, letting you view real-time surveillance footage or stored clips through your smartphone. You can also configure smart lights to turn on at certain times to make your residence look inhabited. If something happens, your system will notify you and your monitoring specialists at once.

Here are a few other safety tips when going on vacation:

• Never broadcast your holiday on social media. Even if you share to a private group, you don’t really know who will see the content. Instead, display pics of your travels once you get back.
• Encourage a neighbor to monitor things and alert you if anything suspicious arises.
• Ensure outside lights are set on a timer and turn on after dark and think about implementing motion-detecting lights.

Have Fun In The Sun With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Securing your home is vital, but you also need to protect yourself and your loved ones during summer’s many outdoor activities. All you must do is adhere to these extra summertime safety tips:

• Watch kids around fireworks, grills, pools, and busy streets
• Protect your skin by using sunscreen and reapply often, particularly when swimming
• Have an adult in your home learn CPR
• Always go swimming with a buddy
• Use helmets when biking, and life jackets when on watercraft
• Be able to recognize dangerous plants and educate loved ones
• Always tell somebody what you’re doing
• Maintain fences around swimming pools and secure gates when you’re not using them

Pools are one of the pleasures of summer, but they are also a well-known danger. Think about implementing smart locks on pool gates to elevate security and safety.
