Going on a holiday is always a positive thing, but you’ll also need to consider adding protective measures to prevent your condo from being the target of a burglary. Here are four tech ways you can get peace of mind when leaving your Marina View Residences property.
Disconnect Your Home WiFi
Unplugging your home’s wifi network presents several advantages, including saving energy and making it non-accessible for possible intruders. You can do this by removing the plug of your wifi router and modem. With this solution, no one will be able to hack into your network and possibly gain access to your smart devices and data.
Install a CCTV and Accompanying App
Any indoor or outdoor CCTV pointed at a key exit or entry into your condo should suffice. Install the accompanying app on your smartphone and you’ll have the ability to check the footage anytime when you’re connected to the web. It’s best to do a daily routine check in the morning or late evening for peace of mind.
Cycle Your Smart Lights
Smart lights can act as a deterrent for possible intruders. To give an illusion that there’s still someone in the condo, you can schedule the lights to turn on at night and turn off during the day. You can even orchestrate an on-off light shift, e.g., turn on the dining room and living room lights for an hour in the evening, then the garage lights for three or four hours.
Ask a Friend on Social Media
If you have a friend who lives close to your Marina View Residences condo and doesn’t mind doing a favor, then you can ask them via a private message on social media to drop by every now and then to check your house and make sure everything’s okay.
