How to secure your home before leaving on holiday?

So that your holidays are not spoiled by the anxiety of having your house broken into while you are away, atHome advises you on how to secure your home during the holidays.

First of all, you will need :
- Insurance,
- An effective alarm
- And a trusted neighbour!

Then :
- Don't shout from the rooftops that you are going on holiday
- Put up notices such as "Naughty dog" or "Home under video surveillance" for passers-by to see
- Install an alarm system, grills on the ground floor windows, an armoured door and roller shutters.
- Install a light with a motion detector
- Ask a neighbour to come and collect the mail regularly
- Program a system that automatically turns on your lights or the radio, and you'll give the impression that your house is inhabited.
- Contract with a security agency that will come to your home in the event of a breach.

Happy holidays to all!
