What is the best way of ensuring that this type of property remains safe and secure?
As a holiday owner homeowner, one of the most important things you need to consider is security. When you’re not there, your property is vulnerable to break-ins, theft, and damage. That’s why it’s essential to take steps to secure your holiday home, and one of the most effective ways to do this is by using a security system.
24/7 Monitoring
One major advantage of using CCTV is that it can provide 24/7 monitoring of your property. Wherever you are located, you can keep an eye on your property with the click of a button – ideal if your holiday home is in a remote location, as it can be difficult to keep tabs on it when you’re not there.
Additionally, these days technology allows you to monitor your holiday home from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. CCTV systems can provide live video feeds, whilst alarm systems can be armed or disarmed quickly via apps. You could also receive alerts if there’s any suspicious activity going on at the property.
Deterrence
One of the biggest benefits of using a security system, such as CCTV, is that it can deter burglars and other criminals from targeting your holiday home. If they know that a house is empty for long periods, criminals could be attracted to it. However”, just the sight of a security system can be enough to discourage would-be thieves. They’re less likely to attempt a break-in if they know they’re being watched and recorded, so you could prevent a crime before it has even happened.
Alarms
You may want to choose an alarm system that can alert you and the authorities in the event of a break-in. This can be a crucial feature if your property is in an area with a high crime rate, such as in a city centre location. An alarm system can provide you with peace of mind knowing that you’ll be notified if something goes wrong and someone will be able to go out to your property asap.
Insurance Discounts
Did you know, using a security system can also lead to discounts on your home insurance premiums? Simply by installing a security system, many insurance companies will offer a discount. This is because a security system can reduce the risk of theft, vandalism, and other types of damage.
Integration With Smart Home Devices
If you have a smart system set up in your home, you can integrate your security system with other devices in your property. For example, you can set your lights to turn on automatically when the security system is triggered. This can create the illusion that someone is at home, even when you’re not there. You can also use your smart home device to control your security system, such as arming or disarming it remotely.
