WithXplore’s reliable Internet, you can keep an eye on your home from anywhere, giving you peace of mind while you enjoy your time away. Here are some easy home security tips to help you protect your space this summer.

1. Install Smart Security Cameras

Smart security cameras are a great way to monitor your home remotely. Place cameras at key entry points like the front door, back door, and garage. With Xplore’s fast Internet powering your devices, you can stream live footage directly to your smartphone, allowing you to check in on your home anytime, anywhere. Look for cameras with motion detection and night vision for added security.

2. Use Smart Locks

Upgrade your traditional locks to smart locks. These allow you to lock and unlock your doors remotely using your smartphone. You can also set up temporary access codes for neighbours or friends who might be checking on your home. With Xplore’s dependable Internet, you can manage your smart locks seamlessly, ensuring your home is secure even when you’re miles away.

3. Set Up a Smart Alarm System

A smart alarm system can alert you to any unusual activity in your home. These systems can be controlled via an app, allowing you to arm and disarm your alarm remotely. Some systems also offer professional monitoring services that can contact emergency services on your behalf.

4. Automate Your Lights

Make it look like someone is home by automating your lights. Smart light bulbs and plugs can be controlled remotely, allowing you to turn lights on and off at different times. This can deter potential burglars by giving the impression that your home is occupied.

5. Monitor Your Home with Smart Sensors

Smart sensors can be placed on doors and windows to alert you if they are opened unexpectedly. These sensors can send notifications to your phone, keeping you informed of any potential security breaches. With Xplore’s robust Internet service, you can receive real-time updates from your sensors and take action if needed.

6. Check In Regularly

While you’re enjoying your vacation, make it a habit to check in on your home periodically. Use your smartphone to view camera footage, check the status of your smart locks, and ensure your alarm system is armed.

7. Secure Your Wi-Fi Network

A secure Wi-Fi network is crucial for protecting your smart home devices. Make sure your network is password-protected and consider using a guest network for visitors. Regularly update your passwords and use strong, unique combinations to keep your network secure.
