Did you forget to arm the security system last time you left?

Arm The Security System Before You Leave!

While it may sound obvious, you would be amazed at how often this happens. So here is the best advice when leaving for vacation: ARM YOUR HOME SECURITY SYSTEM!

If you do not activate your security alarm system it cannot do anything to protect your home while you are away. The last thing you want is to get back from Hawaii to find out that you were robbed because you forgot to activate the alarm.

Many home security alarm systems, such as those from Protect America, allow you to control lights in your house with timers. When your lights go on every night at 6 p.m. it gives the illusion that someone is home and will often make burglars think twice before trying to break in.

Make sure all bulbs and light fixtures are in working order before you leave and that they are plugged into surge protectors for extra safety.

Activating security alarm systems is the first step, but complimenting that with automated light timers provides both a deterrent and protection.
