Summer Safety Tips To Protect Your Boulder Home And Family

Summer is the time for warm weather, traveling, and creating lasting moments with friends and family. While you deserve to head out and appreciate life, you should also take precautions to preserve those precious moments. Review our simple summer safety tips and see how a modern security system can help defend your Boulder home and your family members. Don’t let a security lapse spoil your fun in the sun!

Keep Doors And Windows Secure In Your Boulder Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze flowing through your windows during cooler evenings. Just be sure to secure them when you depart! Your modern alarm system can help by telling you if an entry isn’t secure. If you proceed to activate your alarm, but inadvertently leave a window or door unsecured, your system will notify you of the security lapse. You can have warnings delivered through your cell phone’s home security app no matter where you are.

Stay Protected When You’re Away

Many families travel in the summer, leaving homes unoccupied for extended periods. An advanced security system with remote accessibility will keep you informed, allowing you to watch live surveillance camera footage or stored events through your mobile device. You can also set smart lights to switch on at certain times to make your residence seem inhabited. If something takes place, your system will alert you and your monitoring agents right away.

Here are a few other safety tips when travelling:

  • Never broadcast your trip on social media. Even if you share to a private group, you can’t control who will view the details. Instead, post pics of your vacation when you return.
  • Invite a neighbor to watch over things and inform you if any suspicious activity takes place.
  • Make sure outside lights are illuminated after nightfall and consider implementing motion-detecting options.

Protect Those Precious Moments With These Extra Summertime Safety Tips

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

  • Watch children around fireworks, grills, pools, and busy streets
  • Safeguard your skin by using sunscreen and reapply often, particularly when swimming
  • Have a person in your family get certified in CPR
  • Always go swimming with a another person
  • Wear life jackets when using watercraft and helmets when riding bikes
  • Be able to recognize harmful plants and teach loved ones
  • Always let someone know where you plan to go
  • Maintain fences around pools and secure gates when not in use

Pools are one of the pleasures of summer, but they are also a well-documented danger. Consider implementing smart locks on swimming pool gates to boost safety and security.
