📹 August 16 is Surveillance Day

Back in 1942, engineer Walter Bruch helped develop one of the first practical CCTV systems so rocket launches could be monitored safely from a distance.

More than 80 years later, that same basic idea has become a huge part of home security.

Today, security cameras let you check in from your phone, monitor activity around your property and receive alerts when something happens.

From watching rocket launches to watching your front door, surveillance technology has come a long way.

Happy Surveillance Day from Arctic Alarm! 📹🏠

3 Common Home Security Mistakes Homeowners Make 🏠🔒

A good security system is about more than just having an alarm. Here are three common mistakes that can leave gaps in your home’s protection:

1. Only securing the front door

Your front door may be the most obvious entry point, but it is not the only one. Side entrances, back doors, garage access and other entry points can all be vulnerable and should be considered when planning your home security.

2. Positioning cameras in the wrong place

A camera placed too high, facing glare, blocked by seasonal overgrowth or pointed at the wrong angle may not capture the footage you actually need. Proper placement should clearly cover faces, entry points, vehicle access and movement around the property.

3. Relying on an outdated or unmonitored alarm system

Older systems may lack the reliability, connectivity and real-time alerts available with today’s technology. A modern system can keep you connected to your home even when you are away.

If your home security could use an upgrade, now is a great time.

☀️ There is still lots of summer left and plenty of time to get out there and explore!

Before heading off on your next vacation, consider these four simple tips to help protect your home while you are away:

💡 Put your lights on timers
Lights turning on and off throughout the evening can help make your home look lived-in.

📬 Take care of your mail
A full mailbox is a dead giveaway that nobody is home. Pause delivery or ask someone you trust to collect it.

📱 Wait to post your vacation memories
Sharing your trip in real time can let people know your home is empty. Save the photos and updates until you are safely back.

🔒 Arm your alarm and tell a neighbour
Before leaving, make sure your security system is armed and let a trusted neighbour know you will be away.

A little preparation can go a long way toward helping you and your loved ones enjoy the worry-free vacation you deserve.

Arctic Alarm is here to help protect what matters most.
