Your home is at risk all the time however during hot days people become more careless and the security risk to your home rises. It is amazing to see how careless people are when it comes to security in the home. The number of people who leave spare keys under the door mat, above the doorframe or even under a plant next to the door. In some instances your insurance may not cover a break-in if you have done this so you may not be insured after all.

It's a hot day and like millions of people you open a few windows but make sure you close them before you go out. Even if you think you will only be five minutes think about how much a thief could steel in that time. The last thing you want to do is return and find someone in you home.

Make sure you don't leave valuable garden furniture and equipment in plain sight for people to easily see. Try and be discreet and place it behind a wall or plants so it is not easily seen. You should always remove any gardening tools as they can be used to break in to your home.

For simplicity and as a cheap solution a door entry system offers a quick way to protect your home. There are two types of door alarm, one is attached to the door with a small sensor at each side. Every time the door is opened the alarm goes off so you know someone has come in. The other option is a small battery operated motion sensor alarm, which can be placed above or aimed at the door.

The small battery operated alarm with the sensor is more flexible and can be moved around the home, you can put it next to patio doors or in the hallway. You can also position it so that young children can get in and out the kitchen for drinks but if they ventured further into your home the alarm would go off.

The motion sensor mini alarm offers the easiest and quickest set up to improve the security in your home or business. Usually the sensors come with two settings so you can have a short chime to let you know someone has entered or continuous alarm so you know someone is somewhere they shouldn't be.

Another great way to use these mini sensors is on vacation so you know someone is not in your room whilst you are asleep. The last thing you want is to wake up with an intruder standing over you.

Most thefts are of an opportunistic nature and if you don't give them the opportunity you are less likely to be the next victim. Remember it is always better to prevent someone getting into your home so if possible keep your doors locked at all times.
