How to protect your home while you are on vacation

Summer is the perfect time for a well-deserved vacation. But while you're enjoying the sun and the sea, don't forget to protect your home from unwanted guests. A break-in can not only cause material damage, but also affect the feeling of security in your own four walls. In this blog post, we'll show you how you can keep your house safe while you're away and why Weber Protect's surveillance cameras and video doorbells offer an optimal solution.

Why is home security so important during the holiday season?

Burglars often use the holiday season to break into homes because they know that many people are away. Empty homes are easy targets, especially if they have no security measures. A well-protected home will deter burglars and give you the peace of mind you need to enjoy your vacation without worry.

Tips for home security while on vacation

1. Install video surveillance.

Weber Protect's security cameras and video doorbells offer a great way to monitor your home, even from a distance. Here are some reasons why these devices are ideal for home security:

• 
  Easy installation and commissioning : Even laypeople can easily install and commission the devices. User-friendly instructions and an intuitive user interface make the installation process child's play.
• 
  Flexible use : Whether wireless or wired – Weber Protect devices can be used flexibly and adapted to your individual needs.
• 
  Motion detection and push notifications : Thanks to intelligent motion detection, you will immediately receive a push notification on your smartphone when someone approaches your house. This way you always know what is happening at home.
• 
  Instant access to live video : With the Weber Protect app, you can access live video anytime, anywhere. This allows you to keep an eye on your home even from a distance.
• 
  Intercom function : The integrated intercom function allows you to speak directly to visitors or uninvited guests. This can deter potential burglars and let visitors know that someone is at home.

2. Simulate presence

One of the most effective ways to deter burglars is to simulate presence. Use timers for lights, radios or televisions to create the impression that someone is home. Smart lighting systems that randomly turn on and off are also ideal for this.

3. Secure windows and doors

Make sure all windows and doors are well secured. Use high-quality locks and consider installing additional security latches. Roller shutters can provide additional protection, especially if they are motorized and programmable.

4. Inform trusted neighbors

Tell trusted neighbors that you are going away and ask them to keep an eye on your house. Give them your contact details and when you will be returning. A neighbor who regularly checks on things can be a deterrent to potential burglars.

5. Avoid social media announcements

As tempting as it may be to share your vacation photos on social media straight away, wait until you get home. Burglars often scour social networks for clues about abandoned houses.

The security of your home during the summer holidays does not have to be a concern if you take the right measures.
