Summer Safety Tips To Protect Your Atlanta Home And Family

Summer is known for vacations, nice weather, and creating lasting moments with family and friends. While you deserve to venture out and enjoy life, you should also take action to secure those cherished moments. Check out our simple summer safety tips and learn how an advanced security system can help safeguard your family members and your Atlanta home. Don’t let security lapses dampen your enjoyment!

Keep Access Points Secure In Your Atlanta Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze flowing through your windows in the evenings. Just be sure to secure them whenever you leave! Your modern alarm system can assist by telling you if an access point is open. If you proceed to arm your property, but mistakenly leave a window or door open, your system will alert you of the security lapse. You can get alerts through your mobile device’s home security app regardless of your location.

Stay Protected When You’re Traveling

Numerous families holiday during the summer months, leaving houses unoccupied for longer periods. A smart security system with remote access will keep you connected, allowing you to view real-time surveillance camera video or recorded events through your smartphone. You can also configure smart lights to turn on at different times to make your home seem lived in. If something occurs, your system will warn you and your monitoring specialists right away.

Here are some other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Avoid broadcasting your travels on online platforms. Even if you share to a private group, you don’t really know who will view the details. As an alternative, display pictures of your trip when you return.
  • Ask a neighbor to monitor things and alert you if any suspicious activity arises.
  • Make certain exterior lights are illuminated at night and consider installing motion-sensing options.

Enjoy Yourself With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Safeguarding your home is vital, but you must also protect yourself and your loved ones when enjoying time outdoors. All you must do is follow these summertime safety tips:

  • Supervise kids around pools, hot grills, fireworks, and busy streets
  • Shield your skin by using sunscreen and reapply often, especially when swimming
  • Have a person in your household get trained in CPR
  • Always swim with a another person
  • Wear helmets when biking, and life jackets when on watercraft
  • Be able to recognize poisonous plants and teach children
  • Always let someone know what you’re doing
  • Maintain enclosures around swimming pools and lock gates when they’re not in use

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