Summer Safety Tips To Safeguard Your Akron Home And Family

Summer is a time for outdoor adventures, warm weather, and creating lasting moments with loved ones. While you should get out and appreciate life, you also should take action to secure those precious moments. Check out our helpful summer safety tips and learn how an advanced security system can help safeguard your Akron home and your family. Don’t allow a security lapse to dampen your good times!

Keep Access Points Secure In Your Akron Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just be sure to close and secure them when you go out! Your modern alarm system can help by letting you know if an entry point is unsecure. If you try to activate your alarm, but accidentally leave a door or window ajar, your system will notify you of the security breach. You can get alerts through your mobile device’s home security app no matter where you are.

Maintain Protection When You’re Away

Many families holiday during the summer, leaving residences vacant for extended periods. A smart home security system with online accessibility will keep you connected, allowing you to see live camera footage or saved clips through your smartphone. You might also set smart lights to switch on at certain times to make your residence appear lived in. If something occurs, your system will warn you and your monitoring specialists right away.

Here are a few other safety tips when going on vacation:

  • Don’t broadcast your holiday on social media. Even if you publish to a private group, you don’t really know who will view the details. Instead, share pics of your travels when you return.
  • Invite a neighbor to watch over things and alert you if something suspicious takes place.
  • Ensure outdoor lights are illuminated after nightfall and consider implementing motion-detecting lighting.

Enjoy Yourself With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Securing your home is vital, but you also must protect yourself and your family members when enjoying time outdoors. All you have to do is abide by these extra summertime safety tips:

  • Monitor kids around pools, hot grills, fireworks, and busy streets
  • Shield your skin by applying sunscreen and reapply frequently, particularly when swimming
  • Have someone in your household get trained in CPR
  • Always go swimming with a friend
  • Use helmets when riding bikes, and life jackets when boating
  • Be aware of dangerous plants and educate loved ones
  • Always tell someone what you’re doing
  • Maintain fencing around swimming pools and keep gates locked when not in use

Pools are one of the joys of the summer season, but they also are a well-known hazard. Think about installing smart locks on swimming pool gates to elevate security and safety.
