Keep Your Home Safe And Secure This March Break

Originally posted on 09 March 2022

If you are going away this March break, it’s prudent to think about home security.

Thankfully, there are a lot of ways you can secure your home. From installing security cameras in Toronto to setting up a monitored home fire alarm system, Engineered Alarm Solutions security technicians break down ways to protect your home while you’re away.

Install Security Cameras In Toronto

A few strategically placed home security cameras in Toronto and around Toronto homes can be a deterrent to potential break-ins. Modern security cameras in Toronto can be integrated with a mobile app to send real-time alerts in case of any unauthorized movement or break-in. You can literally transform your smartphone into a remote surveillance camera with live video streaming of your home. Taking this proactive measure will help you breathe easy while you’re off on your break.

Set Up a Monitored Burglar/Fire/Flood/CO Alarm System

Appoint a 24-hour guardian for your home with a monitored alarm system. You can use a combination of a burglar, home fire alarm system, or other environmental alarms to secure your home from break-ins, fire, or water damage. These alarm systems will immediately notify you and the security company when triggered. You or the monitoring company can remotely assess the threat and take appropriate action.

Use Home Automation to Make it Look Like Someone is Home

Install home automation for smart lighting that automatically switches the lights on/off at preprogrammed timings. This will make it look as if people are at home and avoid giving the impression of a vacant house. We recommend opting for smart lights, door locks, video intercom, and security cameras in Toronto that can be controlled remotely via an app. You can view your home from anywhere through your smartphone, laptop, or tablet and get immediate notifications about any suspicious activity.

Refrain from Posting on Social Media

It is best to keep your upcoming vacation plans off-line to keep your family and home safe. Resist posting pictures or status updates of your holiday on social media until you return. You never know who’s seeing them and realizing there’s no one at home. Do not put ‘away for holiday’ messages on your email and voicemail; it is best to stick to your usual messages.

Ask a Friend or Neighbour to Check-in

Have a friend or neighbour stop by to check on your home while you’re on holiday. You can also request them to park outside your home. Provide them with your vacation contact and itinerary for worst-case scenarios.

Hire Someone to Remove the Snow

A snow-covered driveway or an unshovelled sidewalk literally screams “nobody’s home”! If you live in a snow-prone area, make sure to hire someone trustworthy to shovel the driveway and sidewalk before you leave for your vacation.

You can’t enjoy that much-awaited spring break if you’re stressing about home security. Follow the above tips and leave your security worries behind when you holiday!

A Great Job! to the team at Engineered Alarm Solutions for the work performed at my home. From top management to the installers, the team delivered an efficient and professional service. The installers were on time, left the grounds spotless and provided all the support necessary to operate the system. Management provided recommendations that were spot on, and I very much appreciated the honesty and knowledge provided, can't get much better than that.

We are religious sisters and about two years ago we needed to protect our home because our neighbourhood is not very safe. We leave in a big house with too many windows and doors. The Priest from our Church recommended us to call Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc. (EAS) because they have done the security systems at the Church. We called EAS for an estimate. They came to check our home and explained to us all the options we had and provided an estimate. We also had other estimate from a different...

After moving into a new home, we needed a reliable security system to keep our family safe. We contacted Gabriel for a full alarm system, home automation, and security cameras. He met with us in person to ensure we understood the services and how everything worked. As an engineer by trade, Gabriel gave us comfort in his expertise and superior knowledge in the field. No sales pitch, just honest work and guidance on how to best protect our home. We now have a top of the line system, apps installed...

From initial contact until completed installation Engineered Alarm Solutions Incorporated were outstanding. I was provided with several options to choose from. A professional technician installed a new system in my home within 2 days of making the decision to upgrade my home security system. The service was prompt and the installation went ahead without issue. The price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to install a security system.

5 star review We used Gabriel and his team at Engineered Alarm Solutions to install the security cameras, access control, and smoke detectors at our new business location. His team was fast, professional and they delivered on everything that they promised in addition to providing good advice. We recommended him to another business a few units down from us who required an even more complex security system and have heard only good things since then. Would definitely recommend using their...

5 star review Several years ago, I hired Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc. (EAS) to install a Monitored Alarm System, Security Cameras, and Home Automation (Deadbolts, Thermostat, Lighting Control, etc.) in our new home. When we purchased the home, it came with a pre-existing security system that was frustrating to use, had recurrent false alarm issues, and we needed to find a new company to install a reliable and better quality system. Our experience with EAS was extremely positive and we have...
