Summer is a time for vacations, nice weather, and creating memories with family and friends. While you deserve to get out and appreciate life, you also should take precautions to secure those valued moments. Explore our helpful summer safety tips and learn how a modern security system can help safeguard your Springfield home and your family members. Don’t allow a security lapse to ruin your good times!

Keep Access Points Secure In Your Springfield Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze coming through your windows at night. Just don’t forget to shut and secure them when you depart! Your advanced alarm system can help by telling you if an access point is open. If you attempt to activate your alarm, but inadvertently leave a window or door unsecured, your system will alert you of the oversight. You can get alerts through your cell phone’s home security app no matter where you are.

Stay Protected When You’re On Vacation

Countless families holiday during the summer months, leaving residences empty for one or multiple weeks at a time. An advanced security system with remote accessibility will keep you connected, allowing you to see live camera video or recorded files through your mobile device. You can also set smart lights to turn on at seemingly random times to make your home seem lived in. If something happens, your system will warn you and your monitoring specialists right away.

Here are some other safety tips when leaving home:

• Never broadcast your holiday on online platforms. Even if you post to a private group, you can’t control who will view the information. As an alternative, share pics of your travels once you get back.
• Invite a neighbor to watch over things and alert you if any suspicious activity takes place.
• Make sure outdoor lights are set on a timer and turn on after nightfall and think about installing motion-detecting lights.

Have Fun In The Sun With These Extra Summertime Safety Tips

Protecting your home is essential, but you also need to protect yourself and your family during summer’s many outdoor activities. All you have to do is abide by these summertime safety tips:

• Monitor little ones around fireworks, grills, pools, and busy streets
• Shield your skin by using sunscreen and reapply often, particularly when swimming
• Have someone in your household get trained in CPR
• Always go swimming with a friend
• Use life jackets when boating and helmets when biking
• Be aware of poisonous plants and teach loved ones
• Always tell someone where you plan to go
• Maintain fencing around swimming pools and lock gates when they’re not in use

Swimming pools are one of the delights of the summertime, but they also are a well-documented danger. Consider installing smart locks on pool gates to boost safety and security.
