Protecting Your Home as You Head Back to School

By David R. Corio, Regional VP of ACS Security

As summer winds down and you prepare for back-to-school season, don't forget to prioritize your home security. At ACS Security, we're dedicated to keeping your family safe, so you can focus on the exciting school year ahead.  

Here are our top 5 end-of-summer home security tips. 

Keep an Eye on Your Home with Video Monitoring 

Video monitoring has revolutionized the way we secure our homes. By leveraging the power of technology, we can keep an eye on our properties from virtually anywhere. With ACS Security's cutting-edge video monitoring systems, you can access live footage on your smartphone in just a few taps. These systems enable you to stay connected and stay in control of your home's security no matter where you are. 

Install Smart Locks for Added Security 

Smart locks can be a great solution for parents who think about their children's safety when they're home alone during the summer or when they come home from school without adult supervision. With the ability to remotely control the lock, parents can ensure their child won't be locked out or mistakenly let someone in. Additionally, most smart locks offer features that send a notification to parents when their children arrive home, providing an added layer of security and reassurance. Having a smart lock installed can provide parents with peace of mind, knowing that their children are safe and secure at home. 

Set Up a Home Security System 

A comprehensive home security system is not just a luxury, but a necessity in today's day and age. That's why we offer a wide range of custom-designed home security solutions that cater to your specific needs. Whether it's 24/7 monitoring or motion detectors, we have got you covered, and to add an extra layer of security, our expert patrol team is always on standby to ensure that your home is always safe and secure. 

Keep Your Yard Well-Lit 

Keeping your home safe from burglars is a top priority for all homeowners. One effective way to deter these intruders is by ensuring that your yard is well-lit. Installing smart lights that can be controlled remotely is a smart choice to make your yard as bright as possible. Not only will this give you peace of mind, but it will also deter any potential burglar from trying to enter your home.  

Secure Your Windows and Doors 

When it comes to home security, you can never be too cautious. That's why it's crucial to pay close attention to the condition of your windows and doors. Check that all of your windows and doors are secure, and make sure to lock them before leaving your home. Additionally, you might want to consider investing in glass break sensors to provide an extra layer of protection. These sensors work by detecting the sound of breaking glass, which then triggers the alarm system. One glass break sensor can cover a radius of up to 25 feet of multiple windows or glass doors in a home. And, unlike motion detectors which are typically not armed when you are at home, glass break sensors are active at all times.  

 At ACS Security, we prioritize your family's safety and provide top-notch home security solutions to give you peace of mind. Our experts will help you choose the right security system that fits your needs and budget. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about our services.
