Summer is the time for nice weather, adventures, and making memories with friends and family. While you deserve to head out and enjoy life, you also should take steps to secure those valued moments. Check out our simple summer safety tips and see how an advanced security system can help protect your family and your Chicago home. Don’t allow a security lapse to ruin your good times!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Chicago Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze coming through your windows during cooler evenings. Just remember to secure them if you depart! Your high-tech alarm system can help by notifying you if an entry isn’t secure. If you attempt to arm your home, but accidentally leave a door or window open, your system will alert 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 Away

Countless families vacation in the summer, leaving houses unoccupied for extended periods. A smart home security system with remote access will keep you in touch, permitting you to see real-time surveillance camera footage or saved events through your mobile device. You might also program smart lights to switch on at seemingly random times to make your home appear inhabited. If an urgent situation occurs, your system will alert you and your monitoring team at once.

Here are a few other safety tips when travelling:

• Don’t broadcast your travels on online platforms. Even if you post to a private group, you don’t really know who will see the content. Instead, share pictures of your trip after you return.
• Ask a neighbor to watch over things and inform you if any suspicious activity arises.
• Ensure outdoor lights are set on a timer and turn on after dark and think about implementing motion-detecting lighting.

Enjoy Yourself With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Safeguarding your home is vital, but you must also protect yourself and your family members when enjoying time outdoors. You can do so by following these additional summertime safety tips:

• Supervise children around pools, hot grills, fireworks, and busy streets
• Shield your skin by using sunscreen and reapply regularly, especially when swimming
• Have an adult in your home get certified in CPR
• Always swim with a buddy
• Use life jackets when using watercraft and helmets when biking
• Be aware of poisonous plants and teach children
• Always tell someone what you’re doing
• Maintain fencing around pools and keep gates locked when they’re not in use

Pools are one of the delights of the summer season, but they also are a recognized risk. Think about installing smart locks on swimming pool gates to elevate safety and security.
