Summer Safety Tips To Protect Your Wichita Home And Family

Summer is known for warm weather, traveling, and creating lasting moments with family and friends. While you deserve to get out and appreciate life, you also should take precautions to secure those valued moments. Review our simple summer safety tips and see how an advanced security system can help safeguard your family members and your Wichita home. Don’t let security lapses ruin your enjoyment!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Wichita Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze coming through your windows in the evenings. Just don’t forget to shut and secure them if you depart! Your high-tech alarm system can assist by letting you know if an access point is unsecure. If you proceed to arm your home, but accidentally leave a door or window open, your system will alert you of the security breach. You can get alerts through your cell phone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Stay Connected When You’re Traveling

Numerous families holiday during the summer, leaving residences empty for longer periods. A smart security system with remote accessibility will keep you in touch, allowing you to see real-time surveillance streams or stored files through your smartphone. You might also program smart lights to illuminate at certain times to make your house look lived in. If a triggered event occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring team immediately.

Here are some other safety tips when travelling:

  • Avoid broadcasting your holiday on social media. Even when posting privately, you can’t be certain who will access the details. Instead, share pictures of your travels once you get back.
  • Invite a neighbor to keep an eye on things and let you know if something suspicious takes place.
  • Make certain outdoor lights are set on a timer and turn on after nightfall and consider implementing motion-detecting lights.

Protect Those Precious Moments With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

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

  • Supervise kids around pools, busy streets, grills, and fireworks
  • Shield your skin by using sunscreen and reapply often, particularly when swimming
  • Have a person in your household get trained in CPR
  • Always go swimming with a friend
  • Wear helmets when biking, and life jackets when boating
  • Be knowledgeable of harmful plants and educate loved ones
  • Always tell somebody what you’re doing
