Feeling protected is easy using these personal security tips

If you want to feel protected, follow our personal security recommendations.

1. Avoid routines

We have heard it many times and it is true, the starting point to achieve peace of mind; our personal security recommendation is to avoid having routines, our actions directly lead to the protection of our home

Before robbing a house or even a person, burglars usually follow the steps or routines and schedules of the people they want to rob, to know exactly if they are going to make a good haul and if they can do it without complications.

Whenever possible and without becoming obsessed, as it is only a matter of being cautious and avoiding possible robberies (being able to live normally and with peace of mind); it is advisable to try to change the routes and times of returning home from work, to pay attention to whether someone is following you; as well as to observe that there are no unknown people or cars around your home for several days in a row or when leaving your vehicle.

In communal garages, where the closing of the door is activated by a timer; wait until the door has closed to prevent someone from taking advantage of the closing time to enter.

At SICOR Seguridad there are community security systems that provide a very good solution to this risk in garages, which unfortunately is becoming increasingly common due to the vulnerability of people in this environment.

When you enter your doorway, make sure that no one enters behind you, take advantage of its opening, if they are not known, go out again pretending you forgot something and notify the police if the person is acting suspiciously. 

Never open the door of the Entryphone or your home if you do not have proof of the visit. In the case of professional visits (telephony, gas, repairs, etc.) demand accreditation and confirm with the company responsible.

If you have elderly relatives, advise them never to open the door to strangers and if they have personal assistants, be very scrupulous in their selection, it is more advisable to do it through a specialised company.

Unfortunately, violent burglaries in the homes of elderly or disabled elderly people are becoming more and more common. 

2. The little ones can also help us

It may seem that in emergency situations the little ones cannot be useful; but on occasions they have played a fundamental role in calling for help or even calling the police.

It is advisable to teach them how to ask for help at these times, to remember easy telephone numbers such as 112, not to open the door to strangers and never to give out personal or private details if they pick up the phone or to strangers, are some of the actions that can be key to our safety.

3. Protect your installation, follow our personal safety recommendations.

To avoid personal injury and even material damage, always remember to properly protect sockets and cables. Try to unplug appliances and electrical appliances when you are away for long periods of time. This will not only save energy, but can also prevent an accident. Keep electrical appliances away from damp or wet areas, this will prevent major faults from occurring.

4. Do not give access or private data to persons you do not fully trust.

Giving the keys to the technician who comes to repair the washing machine, letting someone else see the security code of your alarm, telling the public about the layout of your house or other security information about your home may be everyday actions that we do not give importance to, however, we must take care of these details and take extreme precautions to avoid being victims of theft or major theft.

It is essential that only trusted or authorised persons have access to the installed alarms.
