Did you know?
You have booked your dream vacation and now you would like to share it with your friends and family. Share your travel plans only after your return on social networks. Public hints about your absence can reveal to potential burglars that your home is unoccupied for an extended period.
Ask neighbors, friends, or family members to regularly empty your mailbox and check on things. A well-maintained and inhabited appearance can deter potential burglars.
With a digital locking system, you can grant or revoke access permissions at any time via smartphone – even on the go. This allows you to provide neighbors or family members with secure access, all without handing over keys.
DOM Tapkey is ideal for this purpose!
A lived-in home is significantly more deterrent to burglars. Use timers, smart lighting, or motion sensors to automatically control lights and other devices. This creates a realistic impression of presence even during your vacation.
Store jewelry, important documents, and other valuables in a safe or a locked cabinet. An inventory list with photos makes documentation easier for insurance purposes in case of an emergency.
Modern alarm systems and surveillance cameras immediately inform you via app about suspicious events. In combination with intelligent lighting control or smart plugs, presence can be convincingly simulated.
If you usually use a house or garden service, it is best to arrange for them to continue coming regularly during your absence. A well-maintained garden and a tidy property give the impression that the house is occupied.
In apartment buildings, a doormat placed after the cleaning of the stairwell can reveal your absence. Therefore, place the doormat inside your apartment before you leave.
Disconnect unnecessary electrical devices such as televisions, computers, or kettles from the power supply. This reduces the risk of damage, for example, from surges during thunderstorms.
Check before your trip whether your home contents insurance is up to date and whether all valuables are adequately covered. Also, find out about the requirements for filing a claim in the event of a burglary.
Before you set off on holiday, you should give your home a thorough check-over. Make sure that doors and windows are securely locked, that all locking mechanisms are working properly, and that your alarm system or CCTV cameras are in working order. That way, you can enjoy your holiday with peace of mind.
