You want to feel safe at home and know that what matters to you is protected, even when you’re away.
Close and lock accessible windows and outside doors. Look for loose locks or damaged frames that need attention.
Home security checklistA door or window can look closed even when its latch hasn’t caught.
Choose one accessible entrance and check that it closes and locks as intended. If a lock is loose or the frame is damaged, arrange a repair. If you rent, report the issue to your landlord or property manager.
Keep keys, wallets and devices away from doors and windows.
Give them a regular spot that’s easy for you to find, without being visible from outside.
Your usual drop spot may be visible through glass, even with the door locked.
Look at where you leave your keys, wallet or laptop in relation to nearby windows. Choose a drawer or cupboard out of that sightline, and put one item there as a start.
Use a password you don’t use elsewhere. Turn on two-factor authentication when available, and keep your camera and its app updated.
Check who can view your feed before sharing access.
Someone who checked on your home while you were away may still have access after you return.
Review shared users and connected services in your camera account. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to remove access you no longer want, including access through linked apps.
We’ll help you figure out the protection you need and connect you with a suitable provider if one becomes available. We’ll ask your permission before making an introduction.
For more peace of mind at home, decide who should handle an alarm: you or a professional monitoring service. If you monitor the system yourself, you’re responsible for checking alerts and calling for help. Ask a provider: what happens if an alarm goes off and you can’t reach me?
Check on your home or a pet while you’re out. Live viewing lets you see what’s happening now; saved recordings let you look back later. Recording access may require a subscription. Ask a provider: how long are recordings saved, can I download them, and what needs a paid plan?
Your security should fit the way you live. You might prefer setting it up yourself or having an installer handle placement and setup. Existing devices may not work with a new system. Ask a provider: which of my devices work with it, and how would I use it while I’m home or asleep?
Start with what matters to you, from your own safety to possessions or loved ones. Some systems let you buy equipment without paying for monitoring. A low upfront price may come with ongoing charges. Ask a provider: what will I pay upfront, each month, and if I cancel?
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Start with what you want to protect.
Tell us what matters to you and where you’d like help. It’s okay if you’re not sure what you need yet.
