“To protect your home during vacations or any other trip, ask neighbors or friends to come in to water flowers and empty the mailbox in advance.
Do not publish information about your trip on social networks, ”the expert warned.
He noted that if possible, it is worth installing various smart home systems, such as smart switches, which allow you to set the scenario for turning on and off the light, simulating the presence in the apartment.
“Most often, apartments on the first floors are at risk, so be sure to install bars on the windows in advance or additional motion sensors in this area if the apartment is already guarded.
At risk are also apartments left in disrepair (for example, with filled mailboxes), as well as apartments in entrances (or on floors), where a large amount of housing is rented out and tenants often change, ”Kuvikov emphasized.
Also, according to the interlocutor of RT, there is no need to leave boxes from new expensive equipment at the door.
“Be sure to hide valuables and other expensive items in non-obvious places so that if the theft does occur, minimize losses.
Remember that the most effective way to protect yourself is to install a special security complex,” he concluded.
