August is the month when many homes and business premises remain unattended for longer periods. Summer holidays, extended absences, and reduced business activity make prevention especially important.
Proper preparation before leaving can significantly reduce risks and provide greater peace of mind while you are away.
Check Every Access Point
Before leaving, make sure that all doors, windows, balcony doors, storage areas, and garages are securely locked. Do not leave keys in visible or predictable places, and always activate the alarm system.
Also check:
- magnetic contacts,
- motion detectors,
- indoor and outdoor sirens,
- backup batteries,
- mobile notifications.
Monitor Your Property Remotely
Security cameras allow you to check your home or business at any time. Through a mobile application, you can monitor entrances, gardens, garages, storage areas, and other critical points.
Before leaving, confirm that remote access works correctly and that motion notifications are configured according to your needs.
Do Not Reveal Your Absence
Public holiday posts can show that your property is unattended. It is safer to publish photos after you return.
You can also ask a trusted person to check the property regularly, collect mail, and make sure everything is operating normally.
Pay Attention to Fire Safety
High August temperatures make fire detection especially important. Check that smoke detectors, fire alarm panels, and backup power sources are functioning correctly.
In business premises, emergency exits should remain clear and fire safety equipment should be ready for use.
