Home Camera Monitoring
Tips |
Periodically test children on the proper usage of your home security system. Because children may not utilize the home alarm as often as adults, bi-weekly or monthly reviews may help avoid future false alarms.
Test your security system quarterly to ensure it is functioning properly. Also, check window, door, motion and glass-break sensors for proper alignment and battery function.
|
 Arrange for a friend, neighbor or lawn service to mow the grass.
|
|
Avoid false alarms: Motion sensors are a great addition to home security systems, but they must be applied wisely. One sure fire way to steer clear of false alarms is to avoid using motion sensors where pets typically wander. |
