Vacations are a time when you can get away from day-to-day stresses. Before leaving for that much-needed getaway, take steps to protect your home. One security measure is to hire a security guard company to monitor your home while you’re away.

Vacation Security Guard Duties. Security guard companies schedule regular stops at homes while homeowners are away. They drive by the property, often making stops to make sure the home is secure. Never announce that you are away on social media.

Security cameras can be mounted in strategic locations with live feeds sent to an offsite security staff who monitors the feeds 24/7. If they see unusual activity, they’ll notify police and security guards in the area.

Homeowners can also take basic steps: lock all doors and windows, add timers to lights so they are on in the evening, have your mail stopped or enlist the help of neighbors to pick up mail and store your valuables in a safety deposit box or safe. Never announce that you are away on social media.

Take these precautions so you have a worry-free vacation while knowing your home is protected.
