Summer Safety Tips To Shield Your Austin Home And Family

Summer is known for nice weather, adventures, and making memories with family and friends. While you deserve to get out and appreciate life, you should also take steps to secure those precious moments. Review our beneficial summer safety tips and see how an advanced security system can help protect your Austin home and your loved ones. Don’t allow a security lapse to dampen your enjoyment!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Austin Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze flowing through your windows in the evenings. Just be sure to secure them whenever you go out! Your modern alarm system can help by letting you know if an entry is open. If you attempt to arm your home, but mistakenly leave a window or door ajar, your system will inform you of the oversight. You can get alerts through your mobile device’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Maintain Protection When You’re Traveling

Numerous families travel in the summer, leaving houses vacant for extended times. A smart home security system with remote accessibility will keep you connected, letting you watch live camera video or stored events through your mobile device. You can also configure smart lights to switch on at certain times to make your home appear inhabited. If an urgent event occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring team at once.

Here are some other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Never broadcast your travels on social media. Even if you publish to a private group, you can’t control who will view the details. Alternatively, share pics of your vacation after you return.
  • Encourage a neighbor to watch over things and alert you if something suspicious occurs.
  • Ensure exterior lights are set on a timer and turn on at night and think about installing motion-sensing options.

Have Fun In The Sun With These Extra Summertime Safety Tips

Safeguarding your home is vital, but you also must protect yourself and your family members during summer’s many outdoor activities. All you have to do is adhere to these summertime safety tips:

  • Supervise little ones around pools, hot grills, fireworks, and busy streets
  • Safeguard your skin by using sunscreen and reapply often, especially when swimming
  • Have an adult in your household learn CPR
  • Always go swimming with a another person
  • Wear helmets when biking, and life jackets when on watercraft
  • Be able to recognize dangerous plants and educate loved ones
  • Always tell someone what you’re doing
  • Maintain enclosures around pools and lock gates when they’re not in use

Pools are one of the joys of summer, but they also are a well-known risk. Consider installing smart locks on pool gates to boost safety and security.
