Summer is a time for pleasant weather, adventures, and creating memories with friends and family. While you should head out and appreciate life, you also should take steps to secure those valued moments. Review our beneficial summer safety tips and see how an advanced security system can help safeguard your Santa Fe home and your family. Don’t allow a security lapse to ruin your enjoyment!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Santa Fe Home

You love the summer breeze flowing through your windows at night. Just remember to shut and secure them when you depart! Your high-tech alarm system can assist by notifying you if an access point is unsecure. If you attempt to activate your alarm, but mistakenly leave a door or window unsecured, your system will alert you of the security breach. You can have warnings sent through your smartphone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Stay Connected When You’re On Vacation

Countless families vacation during the summer, leaving residences unoccupied for extended times. An advanced security system with remote accessibility will keep you connected, allowing you to see real-time surveillance video or saved events through your smartphone. You may also configure smart lights to illuminate at seemingly random times to make your residence seem inhabited. If an urgent situation arises, your system will notify you and your monitoring agents immediately.

Here are some other safety tips when going on vacation:

• Never broadcast your trip on online platforms. Even if you post to a private group, you can’t be certain who will view the details. Instead, display photos of your trip once you get back.
• Encourage a neighbor to keep an eye on things and let you know if something suspicious occurs.
• Make sure exterior lights are illuminated after nightfall and consider using motion-sensing lighting.

Enjoy Yourself With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Securing your home is crucial, but you also need to protect yourself and your family members when enjoying time outdoors. You can do so by adhering to these additional summertime safety tips:

• Supervise kids around pools, busy streets, grills, and fireworks
• Protect your skin with sunscreen and reapply regularly, particularly when swimming
• Have an adult in your family get certified in CPR
• Always go swimming with a another person
• Don helmets when biking, and life jackets when on watercraft
• Be able to recognize harmful plants and educate loved ones
• Always tell somebody where you’re going
• Maintain enclosures around pools and secure gates when not in use

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