There is no quarantine for intruders: lots of summer houses and private estates were robbed around Europe. We receive more and more such news from our partners on a daily basis.
That’s why we decided to start a new feature with about how to survive quarantine safely.
We gathered some tips to help you to protect yourself and your unattended property.
1️⃣ Follow information hygiene.
Now it’s easy to get any information you need via social media. Some of you reveal where the valuables are located, others openly tell their followers about the precious equipment that stands and dusts at their vacation houses, while no one is around.
All of this help burglars to find and steal hidden stuff.
2️⃣ Set up video surveillance.
Video cameras can scare away the intruders. In case they try to break into your territory, all will be recorded.
3️⃣ Add a security system.
It's important not only to know what happens on your territory but also to be able to prevent the trouble. Video cameras just make records and won't react to a burglar. Set a security system and apply for professional monitoring.

4️⃣ Simulate your presence.
While you are at one home, you may use Ajax scenarios to imitate your presence in another one that is temporarily empty. For example, you can schedule the work of a torchiere near the window using our smart plug Socket.
5️⃣ Strengthen the locks, set window bars.
An average door lock can be broken in 52 sec without any noise. Strengthening the locks helps to prolong this time and add lots of noise. The burglar will think twice before breaking into your house.
Stay safe, healthy and tuned!
