Home Security During Autumn & Winter

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SECURITY IN AUTUMN AND WINTER

We are already experiencing waking up in the dark and leaving work when the sun is already setting and darkness is fast approaching. 

Without a doubt, this time of year brings us lots of excitement in terms of yearly events such as Halloween, Christmas, and New Year. However, there are some essential things to consider regarding your security during Autumn and Winter. 

Whether you work from home or you are back in the office, we wanted to share some ideas on what you could do to ensure that you’re taking all of the necessary steps to secure your home over the colder months.

TIPS TO CONSIDER:

• Double-check whether your window and door locks are in good condition. It’s crucial to ensure that your locks are in great shape. Don’t forget that there are always new developments in the industry that may be beneficial to consider. Therefore, why not update your locking systems to more recent ones?
• Whether you live in an apartment or a house, it’s essential to ensure that your home is well-lit. If there are areas in your garden that block your view of the street or other surroundings – why not install some outdoor lights? Good visibility around your home will reduce the risk of theft and create a more secure environment. If you live in an apartment, that might not be necessary. However, there will be other things to consider if that’s the case.
• Have you invested in a home security system? There are various types of systems available including CCTV cameras, alarms, and alarm monitoring. Identify your best options and invest accordingly. ESP Security is always happy to advise our clients on the most suitable security systems for your premises. 

• If you keep your car in the garage, ensure that the garage doors are secure and in good condition for the colder months. 
• How often do you have a visitor at your door that you don’t know? Opening the door to an unknown person creates a significant risk to your safety. During the darker months, when visibility is relatively low, you may not be able to see clearly. Our advice is to consider the options of smart doorbells and intercom systems. The intercom systems ESP Security installs offer significant security advancements, such as accessing video output for viewing on your TV and the ability to review stored images of visitors.
• Finally if you already have adequate locks, lighting, and an alarm system in place – the message is to remember to lock up, light up, alarm, and secure your premises and homes.  If something just seems not quite right, please alert the gardaí.
• And one last tip, always ensure your security system is in good working order. Carrying out any repairs needed to ensure your alarm system is working as it should, means you can have great peace of mind that your home and premises are secure in the coming Autumn and Winter months.
