How Safe Is Your Home ? Top 5 Questions Need Answering..

Your home is where you live, where your family should feel safe and secure. So much investment is made into how our home looks we tend to ignore the truth about how secure it really is. We ignore the obvious and always say “it  will never happen to me”. Unfortunately the burglar does not see it the same way, and for many they see it as an opportunity.

The following 10 questions will help you better understand how vulnerable your home may be to theft, vandalism and attack. Answering truthfully to the questions can give you much more insight into the simple threats and where  your home rates into safety and security.

1) How well is your home lit up at night inside and outside the home ?

• My home has many lights on the exterior as well as the interior. All the lights are currently on a schedule so they illuminate even if my family is not home. (10 points)
• My home has an adequate amount of lights for both interior and exterior. Unfortunately I do not have them on a manual timer or schedule which means I have to manually turn them on when I am home. (5 points)
• Unfortunately my home does not have an adequate amount of lighting on the outside of the home. Nor do i have a timer (2 points)

 

2) Someone stole a parcel from my front door ?

• I know exactly who stole it, my doorbell camera has it all on video when it occurred including sound. (10 points)
• I have a good idea because my outdoor camera caught bits and pieces of someone lurking around my front area. (5 points)
• Honestly, I have no clue, I cannot tell when or who has taken it. I can speak with my neighbours to see if they saw anything.. (0 points)

3) What do you do if you believe you left a door unlocked ?

• I just have to check my TELUS smart home security system to see if it is unlocked. If it is, I simply press the lock and voila. (10 points)
• It’s ok, I have a security system so if someone comes in the alarm will go off and scare them away. (5 points)
• Depends how far I am from home, If I can go back and lock it I will, most likely will just hope nobody comes to my door. (0 points)

4) You notice your garage overhead door was left open when you return home ?

• It’s ok, I have a TELUS smart home with cameras. If someone went into my garage when I was gone it would have sent me a motion detection alert and started recording. (10 Points)
• I have a security system so if they broke into my home I would have been alerted. Unfortunately whatever was in the garage is at risk. (5 points)
• I will have to go through my garage and home to ensure someone didn’t break in as I currently do not have a security system. (0 points)

5) Somebody comes to your door very late in the evening, what do you do ?

• Fortunately I have a doorbell camera where I can see and speak with the person before unlocking my door. (10 points)
• I have my front door lights and I will be able to see who is at my front door through a window. If i recognize them i will unlock the door. (5 Points)
