Consider installing home video surveillance to check on your elderly loved ones to make sure they haven’t injured themselves or fallen, or to make sure hired caregivers treat them properly. It is sadly a fact that seniors have been known to be abused by caregivers. By having the ability to check on them, this can relieve your worry by putting you in control.

There are many benefits to choosing cellular over a traditional landline set up. Landlines can be tampered with by burglars. They can cut phone lines to deactivate alarms before entering your house. By choosing a cellular set up, this can be avoided completely. Cellular alarm systems also send through tests everyday to make sure your alarm is working while landlines do not.
If you want more information about the perks of a cellular system, call us today at 330-369-2956.
Garage sales can be fun and very productive, but they can also open your home to thieves. It is important to follow these home security safety measures to protect your home from potential burglar attacks.
*Make sure someone is beside the cash box/money at all times. Don’t leave the money box unattended, a stranger could easily walk past your table and take the box without you knowing if you are not near it. People usually don’t stay long at garage sales and by the time you notice, it could be too late and they could be gone.
*Do not let strangers into your home. Even if they ask to use the bathroom or to try on clothes. You never know what people are capable of or what their intentions are. Many times, people enter homes to scope out potential things to steal and plan to return at a later date. This happens more often than you think. Lock your doors and tell them you aren’t comfortable with that if they ask.
*Make sure your security cameras are working. If anyone steals anything during the sale, you will be able to look back at video footage afterwards to help police identify the thieves. Without video evidence, it can sometimes be impossible to identify the thieves.
Let’s face it, everyone feels bad leaving their pets while going on a vacation and we miss them while we are away.
However if you are hiring a pet sitter to come to your home and watch your animals, you can keep tabs on what your pets are up to by viewing the cameras on our total connect app. This can help ease anxiety while you are away and allows you to make sure the pet sitter is attending to your animals. Place your cameras in the location where you want to view your pets, and easily access the camera footage from any location!

*People taking photos of your house
Burglars have been known to take photos of victims’ houses that they are choosing to target. They use this to look at later and remember which house they chose when they come back. If you notice random strangers taking photos of your house its a good idea to take photos of that individual as well, it could be used for future evidence if they strike!
*Random strangers knocking on your door
Another sign to look for is random people knocking on your door. This could be a person pretending to be selling something or running a fake business trying to fool you into opening your door. Many times, this allows the burglar to look inside the home and see your valuables that they want to steal. Or on a more scary note, the burglar could strike immediately and rob you as soon as you open your door which could put you in serious danger as well. Moral of the story, DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR FOR STRANGERS.
*Markings on your home
Sometimes Burglars even target homes by leaving certain markings on them to be able to easily find them when they come back later. This could be something as simple as a string hanging from your front porch or a marker on your mailbox.
It is important to look for these signs and be sure to use your Howland Alarm security system and check your security cameras to prevent break ins and theft of your home.

We all know that outdoor equipment is not cheap and sheds sometimes are the home of your most valuable possessions. This is why it is important to practice effective safety measures to prevent shed theft.
Consider covering the windows in your shed to hide expensive items or placing expensive items in places they cannot be seen by looking in the window.-make sure ladders are put away and out of sight.
Did you know burglars often use ladders to break into shed windows and houses too? It is an effective and easy tactic to get in fast.-Consider placing security cameras and motion sensor lights near your shed. Motion Sensors will deter criminals and video surveillance will help catch the thieves or make them abort the mission when they spot them.
Pad locks on shed doors and expanding your alarm system to your shed are top safety precautions that are the most effective.
By adding an alarm to your shed, you can get notified immediately if someone tries entering.
With our Total Connect app, you can gain an extra layer of protection for your home, even when you aren’t physically there. The power of instant home access is in your pocket!

Check your video footage and live view of your home whenever you want too!
