Reduces the risk of intrusion

Would you like to feel protected in your home or business and that your family or employees are also protected? At SICOR alarms El Corte Inglés we work day after day to offer maximum protection and comfort in homes and businesses. However, it is essential to take into account some security tips to reduce the risks in terms of theft and intrusions.

Home security

Main and secondary accesses closed 

When you are not at home, you should make sure that all entrances such as doors and windows are properly locked. The more difficulties intruders encounter, the more the chances of burglary are greatly reduced. 

Doors, always locked

It is important that all doors in the home are locked, whether you are inside or not, and it is recommended that these doors have at least two locking points. It is also advisable for these doors to have at least two locking points, and remember not to leave a set of keys around the house, as intruders tend to look in these areas, making them a very attractive hook!

Appear that the house is inhabited

It is essential to simulate that the home is occupied, especially in prolonged absences such as vacations or weekends, and in second homes. For this purpose, the security systems of SICOR alarms El Corte Inglés allow you to connect and disconnect the equipment in the house, although it is advisable that a trusted person can pick up the mail and perform other day-to-day tasks.

Do not store high-value objects or documents

Although sometimes complicated, large amounts of money, valuables and documents should not be kept inside the home. If strictly necessary, it is advisable to have a safe deposit box to protect the most valuable items.

A season away from home? Don't go public!

With the rise of new technologies and, in particular, social networks, more and more people are posting their vacation or work plans on these channels, which can be a call to intruders if the absence is prolonged. Therefore, at SICOR alarms El Corte Inglés we advise against making this type of content public. 

Personal security

Change your routines

Our actions directly lead to the protection of our home. Whenever possible, and without becoming obsessed, it is advisable to try to change the routes and times of returning home from work, to pay attention if someone is following us, and to make sure that there are no unknown people or cars around the house for several days in a row.
