There are no people who wish to come home to a house that has been burglarized. Unfortunately, this is one of the things that happens all over the world, and sadly, burglars have become so quick that they often manage to get away before the police are even called.
Therefore, it's also possible to buy all sorts of equipment to monitor your house, and while many opt for video cameras, there are others who have great success with a completely different accessory.
A System to Detect Any Opening and Closing of Windows or Doors
A Window/Door Sensor is a battery-powered intelligent detector that aims to monitor the status of your windows and doors in real-time. As soon as an opening or closure is detected, the sensor instantly sends this information to your smartphone, allowing you to know in real-time what is happening at your home.
In addition to this device, you can also opt for a complete surveillance camera system that includes motion detectors or an alarm that greatly deters burglars. It is also essential to thoroughly check your doors and windows, paying close attention to the robustness of your installations. You can add locks that are more difficult to force.
Below, you can see an example of what such a device looks like. They come in various shapes and prices, so do your own research to find out which one best suits your needs.

Burglaries: Other Safety Tips to Adopt
Leaving windows and doors to the garage open are excellent opportunities for burglars to get inside, so make sure they are always closed. You can also turn on lights in your garden, as burglars will be less inclined to intrude onto your property if it's well-lit.
Also, avoid hiding your key under the mat or in a potted plant, because thieves are well aware of these spots. Instead, you should look for a key box with a secret code.
Last but not least, you should always refrain from telling everyone if you're planning to go on vacation. It only takes one wrong person hearing about your vacation plans for your house to be cleared out while you're away sipping Pina Coladas.
