How to protect your home whilst on vacation with Simply Brands
The saying goes “A man’s home is his castle.” So naturally, as armoured guards and moats aren’t exactly practical, it’s time to invest in the more modern approach to home security while away on that much needed Holiday or Staycation!
Let’s start with the facts, according to the home security and burglary statistics from 2020, a burglary takes place in the UK every 106 seconds. Leaving thousands of homes left under stress in many cases with no way of indicating who it could have been based on the fact they had no home security equipment installed at the time.
In July 2020 a report was ran showing that vehicle theft claims in London alone had increased by 265 percent since 2016 based on a high volume of road users now driving keyless vehicles. Therefore the opportunity for key hackers to crack their way into vehicles becoming more and more available. So, now the statistics are in, Simply Brands is here to help reduce that stress with our simple guide to keeping your home and vehicle secure with all the gadgets on hand to do it.
Our family-orientated ethos means that we are always thinking about everyone, imagine being able to catch the criminal that took off with your kid’s console after the unfortunate event of a burglary? Well with Simply Brands you can, with our Smart Home Security Camera. The key features to this for us would be its clear night vision setting and built-in memory card so that you are left feeling well assured no matter what time of day, you will always be covered. Even if it’s as simple as settling the arguments of who really had that last biscuit out of the jar while you were sleeping!
Protecting what’s at home isn’t just about our gadgets and interior belongings, what about what’s outside the house?
Take our Wireless Doorbell, with its wide view angle and built-in memory card, this doorbell could make the difference between heartbreak and justice in the event of a break in. Or even just giving the peace of mind that you always know who is at the door with a two-way intercom and HD camera you’re able to always keep the family safe from intrusion or unwanted visitors. Maybe even the mother-in-law?!
When it comes to protecting our homes, I think we can all agree on our cars falling under that umbrella! But how can we protect our cars being broken into and potentially even driven away, without having to physically stand and watch them?
The answer is simple; Queue Simply!
Our external Home Security camera is an ideal investment for any homeowner wanting to ensure maximum protection around the home. A recent survey actually showed that privately owned and installed security cameras now outweigh those installed via the public sector by 70 to 1, which is all based on their effectiveness to deter potential break-ins and burglaries. So, you can see exactly what’s happening at home and be rest assured all your possessions are safe and sound while enjoying that much needed break away.
So, you’ve gotten away? Brilliant! But security matters just as much on the road as it does at home. Whether it be while parked up on the driveway or staying overnight for a little staycation somewhere, always make sure you’ve packed one of our steering locks, no family needs the unfortunate addition of a break-in during a mini-break together.
Another ideal way to keep your vehicle secure this summer is by ensuring you’re taking all the precautions against cyber-crime as well as the physical, so many keyless vehicle owners experience hackers programming their key codes to break into a vehicle but with our Auto range having things like our key and phone blocker available you can go about your break soundly knowing we’ve got you covered. Auto break-ins have risen so much in recent years due to so many vehicles being push button start, a hacker’s perfect target for a hot wire start. At least with something as simple as our steering locks on board and the key blocker tucked safely in your pocket, you’re assured no one’s rolling away with any of your belongings this Summer!
Speaking of rolling away this Summer, what about the bikes we hear you ask. Well, the answer is simple. Whether it be securing your push-bike while you stop for that well-earned pub lunch after a long ride out with the family or keeping a motorbike secure both out on the road and parked outside the house, our anti-vibration alarm is a bike enthusiast must buy in our eyes to ensure you are always secure with your mind at ease, at home and away.
All this being said, Summer isn’t about the heavy stuff life throws at us; it’s all about making memories and having fun. It’s about having the family around for a barbeque and making the most of the warmer weather but it pays to take precautions when it comes to our family’s safety and wellbeing. It’s simply a no-brainer to bear us in mind when it comes to insuring your castle is well guarded without reaching for the shovel and draw bridge!
