Safety is your number one priority at home and wherever you go, especially on vacation. You wouldn’t want to keep worrying while trying to relax and have fun. For peace of mind, choose to live in a well-secured condo like Pinery Residences. Here are some condo safety and security tips for you to have a worry-free vacation.
Secure Entry Points
Contents
Make sure entry points to your condo are secure. If the lock is old, be sure to replace it and add extra layers of protection by adding deadbolts and door chain locks so that no one can get in. You can integrate technology by adding sensors so that you can be alerted about any unusual movement near your place.
Invest in Smart Home Technology
Technology can be used as a means of security; you can install smart locks and CCTVs you can access even when you’re away. In the event someone does break in, if you have cameras in your condo, you can rewatch footage, report to the authorities to aid in finding your belongings and the person responsible faster.
Keep Valuables Out of Sight
Thieves usually target condos that look like they may have some good valuables, like a computer, a high-end smartphone, and jewelry. Make sure that you store them in a secure location and not just out in the open, because this increases the chances of burglars stealing something, so keep them hidden.
Lock Off Balconies and Windows
Balconies and windows are another way for a thief to get into homes. Keep your windows locked and invest in sensors for your balcony so that you can be alerted when there is suspicious activity. If your building allows, you can install glass that is shatter-resistant and burglar bars, if you don’t want to take any chances of someone entering through your windows.
Inform Trusted Neighbors and Personnel
Let your condo security personnel and neighbors you trust know that you will be gone for a few days, so that they can check from time to time if there are any suspicious activities at your place.
