Home Security While Traveling: Smart Tips for Summer

Make Your Home Look Lived-In

Keep your home visually active with motion-activated fixtures, solar lighting and timers outside. Inside, smart plugs can cycle lamps or TVs throughout the day, while automated blinds open and close on schedule – creating a familiar presence without constant attention.

Don’t Overlook Entry Points

Garages and secondary entrances are often the weakest links. Switch to app-based garage control, reinforce sliding doors with security bars, and add pins or hardware to ground-floor windows.

Upgrade With Smart Technology

Smart cameras, video doorbells and smart locks offer real-time visibility and remote control from anywhere. For comprehensive coverage, home security systems like SimpliSafe® add professional monitoring.

With preparation and the right tools, you can enjoy your time away with confidence.
