Secure your home
Uniden’s top tips for securing your home while away will help to ensure your holiday is stress-free:
- Lockdown: Make sure all doors and windows around the home, shed or garage are securely locked shut. Double check before you head away!
- Keep watch: Invest in a security camera featuring remote access and motion detection. Position cameras at entry ways, out of reach but within sight, to act as an additional deterrent.
- Under the spotlight: The home is at its most vulnerable at night. Install a motion detection spotlight or a two-in-one camera and spotlight to illuminate driveways and entrances to deter any unwanted guests.
- Home alone: Keep energy efficient lights, the TV or radio on to give the impression someone is home. Setting up timers or investing in smart light bulbs so devices turn on and off will save on energy costs.
- House sitter: Ask a family member or friend to house sit for the duration the property is left unoccupied. This will decrease the risk of any potential break-ins by having visible activity at home.
