Our homes are so important to us. They’re a place we can relax and recharge ready for whatever life brings, and allow us to feel comfortable and safe. And so to keep them well protected, home security should be an issue that every family considers carefully. Along with the devastation of having possessions that you have worked so hard for stolen, burglaries are also a massive invasion of privacy and can leave lasting panic and anxiety in its wake.
CCTV, sturdy locks and a burglar alarm are the most important defenses against thieves. To find the products that are best for you, you could research how to choose a home security system. However, there are a couple of other things you can do too which will make your property much less appealing to burglars. Check out these clever tricks
Use an Automatic Curtain Rail
One of the things thieves will look for when scoping out a house to burgle is whether it looks like anyone is home. While many are opportunistic and will simply hop through an open window if it seems like no-one is in, others will spend time checking out the property first. If you’re not home, and your curtains are left either open or closed that will be a big clue for them. Timed curtain rails are one solution to this problem. They can be either set on a timer or automatically open or close depending on the light levels.
