- Activate the alarm system at night for enhanced safety. Use the “stay” mode to arm specific zones. Audible alarms often deter burglars effectively.
- Regularly test your alarm system. Ensure it transmits to the Control for prompt response by the security company.
- For open-plan layouts or unique situations, consider external beams as a primary security layer.
- Electric fences can deter but coupling them with indoor alarms strengthens security against breaches.
- Inform visitors about alarm operation and panic buttons in rental homes. Display written instructions with Emergency Numbers.
- Park vehicles inside garages to minimize theft temptation.
- Stay vigilant after gatherings. Criminals may exploit post-party vulnerability; secure your premises before sleep.
- Where a house, in particular a holiday home, is occupied by a large number of people, ensure that somebody is responsible for locking up.
- Indoor dogs, especially small breeds, provide effective deterrence.
- Join the “LIGHTS ON” initiative on Bazley Emergency WhatsApp. Activate lights to signal vigilance without investigating alone.
- Utilize Bazley Emergency WhatsApp for effective communication during emergencies. Mute notifications if needed at night.
- Keep gates and garage doors locked at all times to prevent drawing unwanted attention.
Trust your instincts: If something feels off, it usually is.
