How to protect your home from burglars: 3 useful life hacks

SSPDaily has prepared life hacks for protecting your home from burglars. Learn how to use nature and strategic lighting to protect your home.

Plants as natural sensors

For example, placing thorny shrubs or plants near windows and front doors can scare away potential criminals. Tall grasses or hedges around the perimeter of the property create a barrier that makes it harder for burglars to enter the house unnoticed.

Strategic use of lighting

Install motion-sensitive lights at entrances, pathways, and dark areas around the house. They instantly turn on when motion is detected, effectively illuminating the space and deterring intruders.

In addition, to create the illusion that you are not in the house, use timers to light up the rooms while you are away. A well-lit space not only makes it more difficult for burglars to enter but also gives the impression that someone is home, effectively preventing potential intrusion.

Intelligent security system

These systems offer a range of features, such as CCTV cameras, doorbells, motion detectors, and remote access via smartphone apps. Real-time alerts and security camera recordings allow you to keep an eye on your home even when you're not there.

Some systems even allow you to remotely control lights and locks, creating the appearance of a person's presence at home.
