The safety and protection of your family should always be your number one priority. We know our homes should be safe and secure and well protected from intruders and unwanted visitors. But in these modern times where there are conflicts with different social classes and ethic or cultural groups, crime has increased to alarming proportions.

Secure Home Advice Tips

LOCK: Make sure your door is locked when you are at home. Don’t unlock it until you’re sure who the caller is on the other side.

STOP: If someone appears at your door always look through the spy-hole or the window to see who it is. If you’re not expecting any visitors, check that all the doors are locked.

CHAIN: Keep the bar or chain on while you are talking but if you decide to open the door, put the door chain or bar on first.

(Normally, when the door is shut and locked, leave the bar or chain off, in case you need to get out in an emergency)

CHECK: There are a lot of bogus callers about, for example, claiming that they are from utility companies. Ask for, and double check, their identity card – ring their employer if at all concerned to confirm their identify. If they can’t show you any identification, don’t let them in.

Monitor the front door or gate; watch the kids by the swimming pool; or check on the baby napping in the nursery. You can control security cameras and watch what's going on around the house right from your Crestron touchpanel.
