Home Security System - Holiday Security

Holiday Security

Summertime! Fourth of July! Travel! Vacations! Getting away from it all! The best invitation to thieves and burglars that money can buy! Theres no better time of the year, except maybe the December Holiday season, to review and upgrade your home security system. Whether you like a long July 4th weekend at the beach or take the kids for a two-week jaunt through Americas heartland, youre leaving your home and valuables with minimal protection - simply because youre not there. Burglars look for signs that indicate a house is unoccupied, and theyre usually easy to see.

Are newspapers piling up in the front yard, or did you remember to tell the publisher to stop service during your vacation? Are there pink notices taped to the front door by UPS and FedEx, announcing unsuccessful attempts to deliver packages? Is your house dark every evening when every other home on the street has lights on, music playing, the flickering images of a TV, the sound of a lawnmower, and other signs of activity proclaiming that these people are home?

Any of those indicators is like a welcome mat to a burglar.

The best, most affordable, and simplest way to protect your home when youre away is with a Smart Home Automation & Control system. The Superna systems available at Vertex Security allow you to engage equipment and appliances throughout your home to suggest your house is occupied. You can turn on and off the outside and inside lights, music, televisions, even the sprinkler system, at times that change every day - because it can all be preset and controlled through your computer.

Superna can also control Vertex video security systems. With security cams mounted in inaccessible places round your house, you can monitor your processor and monitoring system while youre away by feeding to them a secure site to which only you have remote access.

Of course human help is always useful, too. Getting a family member, a close friend, or neighbor you trust to drop in regularly and check everything out is ideal - except when they have an emergency, or cant make it one evening, or forget to stop by. For total security, and total control, your best bet is to rely on a system that wont let you down.
