00:00Have you ever been told that an elastic can reinforce the security that your house needs?
00:05It may seem strange to you, but it's true.
00:08An elastic can make all the difference.
00:11By placing one on the door handle of your house, you will be better protected in the event of a breach.
00:16With an elastic, it is more difficult to turn the handle to open a door.
00:21This simple and cheap trick can prove very useful for people who live in places where there are a lot of intrusions,
00:27or for those who travel a lot and want to make sure their house is well secured.
00:32An elastic can also reinforce a badly screwed or damaged handle by adjusting it firmly to the door.
00:38It is not necessary to spend a lot of money to ensure the safety of your house.
00:43However, for jewelry or important documents, you should consider buying a safe.
00:49In general, people do not need a sophisticated and expensive safe to store their valuables.
00:55The most expensive safes are equipped with special features such as fire protection and fingerprint recognition.
01:04To secure your safe, you can screw it to your floor or hide it in a closet or behind a wall-mounted board, like in the old movies.
01:13Are you used to leaving a double of your keys under your cloak?
01:17You should perhaps stop doing this.
01:19Hiding your house keys is dangerous because anyone can find them while looking for them.
01:24In addition, if there is no evidence of fracture, insurance companies may not reimburse stolen items.
01:30A good solution is to use a combination case that you can attach to your house or to a lock post in an invisible place.
01:39Make sure to use solid screws, preferably different from those provided with the case, which are generally not very robust.
01:46It is preferable to invest in resistant screws.
01:49In stainless steel, for example.
01:52And you should not only pay attention to what is inside your house.
01:56Nowadays, more and more people steal mail, often because mailboxes are not secure.
02:02To protect your mail, you can use a special box that only opens with a key.
02:08You can hang it on your wall like an ordinary mailbox.
02:12If someone enters your car, they can grab the remote control that opens your garage, if that's where you keep it.
02:19This can happen even if your car is parked in your driveway.
02:23It can also find your address on the documents you keep in your glove box.
02:28To protect yourself, do not keep this remote control on the windshield of your car.
02:33Get a key holder remote control that you can carry with you.
02:37You will find different options online by searching for the brand of your garage opening system.
02:42Do not keep your car key with your other keys either.
02:45If you lose your key, you will not be able to enter your home or take your car.
02:50Social networks are a good way to stay in touch with your friends and share with them your travel experiences and photos of your great holidays.
02:58But do not forget that social networks are mainly public.
03:03When you post something, it is as if you are addressing a large number of people through a loudspeaker.
03:10Do not share your travel plans on social networks if you do not want everyone to know.
03:15Unintentional people may know when you are absent by searching for keywords such as travel, holidays, and so on.
03:23If you constantly update your news feed with visits to museums and restaurants abroad,
03:29people will guess that you are not at home and that your house is easily accessible.
03:34For more security, wait for the end of your trip to share all this.
03:38And if you have to share your experiences with some people at all costs, do it by private message.
03:44The following advice in terms of home security is not intended for everyone.
03:49You must be very responsible and have an appropriate lifestyle.
03:53In addition, you should consult your doctor to find out if you have allergies.
03:57I see that you are a little perplexed.
03:59Of course, I want to talk about adopting a dog.
04:02Many people claim that having a dog improves the safety of a house.
04:06The downside is that all dogs are not necessarily born guardians.
04:10Some dogs are gifted at monitoring and protecting property, while others know how to watch over people.
04:16The best breeds for the protection of a house are German shepherds,
04:20Rottweilers and Dobermans because they respond well to training and are friendly with their family.
04:25If you want a dog trained for safety, contact a trusted trainer.
04:31If you have both a dog and a security system,
04:34make sure that your motion detector does not turn on every time your dog raises its paw.
04:39As far as possible, cover your windows so that no one can see inside your house.
04:45If you have transparent curtains, use a more opaque material to protect your privacy.
04:51It will be more difficult for passers-by to know when you are at home and what kind of valuables you own.
04:58Always keep objects such as televisions and jewellery out of sight.
05:02You can also use high fences or bushes to block the view of your house.
05:07But don't do too much.
05:09Your house needs light for your health and those of your plants, if you have any.
05:14If your security budget is a little more important, you can invest in a smart video speaker.
05:20This gadget allows you to see, hear and talk to visitors even if you are not at home.
05:27You can also tell the delivery man where to leave the packages
05:30and even see who is in front of your door even if the bell has not been used.
05:34You will receive a notification if a movement is detected on your porsche or your pallet
05:39and you can monitor everything with your phone.
05:42If you want a simpler and less expensive solution,
05:45you can use a chain or a judah to know who is visiting you without having to open your door completely.
05:52Another inexpensive way to ensure the safety of your house
05:55is to put gravel on your alley.
05:57You will be able to hear when someone approaches you
06:00and you will even be able to know how far this unexpected visitor is
06:05and when he will arrive at your door.
06:08The more gravel there is in your alley, the louder the footsteps will be.
06:12There are not only physical objects that you must protect.
06:15If your house is equipped with its own wireless network, you must also secure it.
06:20We find a lot of information about people on this kind of network,
06:24such as passwords, time slots and, above all, banking data.
06:29Fortunately, there are ways to improve the security of your Wi-Fi network.
06:33First of all, make sure that his name is not obvious.
06:37Also make sure that he is hidden.
06:39The installation of an antivirus on your computer can also prove useful.
06:44Finally, make sure to use strong passwords for all the websites and applications you use.
06:50Do not forget to change your passwords from time to time
06:53and try not to use the same password for multiple sites.
06:57It is also useful to have a car visible in your alley at all times.
07:02This is particularly important if you have to be away for a long time.
07:06If you are going on vacation or on professional trips,
07:10try to ask someone to pass by your house regularly to give the impression that there is always someone.
07:16If there seems to be activity around a house,
07:19there is less likely that it will be targeted by malicious people.
07:23And the same goes for gardening.
07:26It is preferable to clean your garden before leaving your house unguarded for a while.
07:32If your garden is neglected, it shows that you have been absent for a while
07:37and your house is likely to become a target for thieves.
07:40To avoid this, always take care of your plants.
07:43If you are going on a long trip, ask someone to come and clean your garden regularly,
07:48mow the grass, water the plants and all other tasks necessary for the care of a garden.
