There are different types of security applications that can be applied depending on how your home and business is setup.

You can also find other tips that are free which can help with the overall safety of your home and business some which include:
- Installing outdoor sensor lights around the house, this will help you to see if anybody is hanging around and also to deter intruders.
- Keeping the area around the house clean not hidden as this provides thieves extra hiding spots if they are planning something.
- Make sure you lock the cars at all times when you are not near.
- Don’t leave spare keys in areas that are obvious places for people to look including under the mat, plant pots, above the door, etc.. It may be better to use a Kiddie Keysafe for protecting spare keys.
- Make sure all doors and windows are locked at the night time when going to sleep or leaving the workplace.
