Home Safety and Security Resolutions for the New Year

Many people are making New Year’s resolutions, such as relinquishing credit cards and promising to hit the gym every other day, because they look forward to having a more fruitful time and a healthier lifestyle than before. Fortunately, when it comes to securing your home and making it a safer place for the residents, these resolutions are easy to make and keep. 

Get in the Habit of Setting the Alarm System

An alarm system can only be useful when you establish the routine of setting it properly. Even if you are only running to a nearby grocery store to pick up an ingredient or two, set your alarm. This ensures that your alarm system is being utilized correctly and effectively. It also keeps your home protected from potential danger even if you are only away for a few minutes. 

Upgrade Your Security System

It is crucial to regularly upgrade your security system in order to deter crime, protect valuables, keep tabs on kids and ensure peace of mind. For 2021, consider adding security cameras, and let reputable surveillance system installers put them in place. In the event of an emergency, you can have your eyes on the scene no matter where you are.

Eliminate Physical Keys

Replace all your standard door locks with electronic-controlled locks to eliminate the need for physical keys. This reduces the chance of getting your keys stolen or duplicated by potential intruders. Moreover, it is fairly easy to lose track of people who have access to your home, from your maid service to dog-sitter. With a smart home security system, you can give people unique codes with restricted access times.
