Check door and windows<\/h2>\n

All exterior doors and windows to your home should have locks. Make sure the locks are doing their job. If you don’t have deadbolts on your doors, consider having them installed. For a sliding glass door, you should use a safety bar that keeps them from opening. Windows, especially those on the ground or basement level should have a lock and should be kept locked. <\/p>\n

Motion lights<\/h2>\n

Having motion-activated exterior lights can discourage anyone who is trying to get close to your home undetected.  Place the lights on all sides of your home. <\/p>\n

Camera doorbell<\/h2>\n

Having a camera on your doorbell is a great safety measure. It allows you to see who is ringing your doorbell. Most of these work from an app on your phone so you can see who is on your porch even if you are not at home. <\/p>\n

Home security system<\/h2>\n

Lots of home security systems are available. Some are DYI and are simple to install. They can include cameras and sensors. If you want a more sophisticated system many are installed and maintained by monitoring companies. <\/p>\n
