Summer is the time for pleasant weather, traveling, and creating lasting moments with loved ones. While you deserve to head out and appreciate life, you should also take precautions to secure those valued moments. Check out our helpful summer safety tips and discover how the right security system can help protect your Long Island home and your loved ones. Don’t permit a security lapse to dampen your good times!

Keep Doors And Windows Secure In Your Long Island Home

You love the summer breeze coming through your windows at night. Just don’t forget to shut and secure them if you go out! Your modern alarm system can help by telling you if an entry point isn’t secure. If you try to arm your home, but inadvertently leave a window or door ajar, your system will notify you of the oversight. You can have warnings sent through your smartphone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Stay Protected When You’re Traveling

Many families travel in the summertime, leaving homes vacant for days or weeks. An advanced security system with remote accessibility will keep you in touch, permitting you to see live surveillance camera video or stored events through your cell phone. You can also configure smart lights to illuminate at different times to make your residence appear occupied. If something occurs, your system will notify you and your monitoring specialists immediately.

Here are several other safety tips when travelling:

• Never broadcast your travels on online platforms. Even if you post to a private group, you don’t really know who will view the information. As an alternative, display photos of your travels when you return.
• Encourage a neighbor to keep an eye on things and let you know if any suspicious activity occurs.
• Make sure outdoor lights are set on a timer and turn on at night and think about using motion-sensing options.

Protect Those Precious Moments With These Extra Summertime Safety Tips

Protecting your home is vital, but you must also protect yourself and your family members during your time outdoors. All you need to do is abide by these summertime safety tips:

• Supervise children around pools, hot grills, fireworks, and busy streets
• Shield your skin by using sunscreen and reapply frequently, especially when swimming
• Have a person in your home get trained in CPR
• Always go swimming with a friend
• Don life jackets when using watercraft and helmets when biking
• Be knowledgeable of dangerous plants and teach children
• Always let someone know what you’re doing
• Maintain fences around pools and lock gates when not in use

Swimming pools are one of the joys of summer, but they also are a well-documented risk. Think about installing smart locks on swimming pool gates to boost security and safety.
