Spring Break Safety: Secure Your Home While You’re Away

 

Spring Break is just around the corner, and for many, that means packing bags and heading off for a well-deserved getaway. But before you hit the road, there’s an important thing to check off your prep list: home security.

When you’re away, your home becomes more vulnerable to porch/deck thievery and potential break-ins. A smart home security system can add an extra layer of protection, helping deter unwanted visitors and giving you peace of mind. Here are a few essential home security products to consider before heading out for Spring Break:

1. Yard Signs and Window Stickers

Let potential intruders know your home is protected before they even step foot on your property. A Frontpoint security system offers top-rated, 24/7 professional monitoring—and displaying yard signs and window stickers is an easy but effective first line of defense. Criminals are less likely to target a home they know is secured with an active alarm system.

2. Security Cameras

Stay connected to your home no matter where you travel. Whether you’re exploring a city or relaxing at a local beach, the Frontpoint app allows you to check in on your security camera feed anytime. A doorbell camera, like the Frontpoint Wireless Doorbell or Wired Doorbell Camera, is especially useful for spotting unexpected visitors. With Two-Way Audio, you can deter potential intruders or let a friendly neighbor know you’ll catch up with them later. For even more coverage, consider the Frontpoint Outdoor Camera or the Premium Floodlight Camera, which provides high-quality video surveillance and motion-activated lighting to enhance security around your property.

3. Security Sensors

Don’t leave your home unprotected—install Door and Window Sensors along with Motion Sensors to ensure your property stays secure. For added protection, Glass Break Sensors can detect if a window is shattered, even in areas without motion sensors. Add a Garage Door Sensor to alert you if anyone tries to enter your home through the garage. When armed, these devices trigger your alarm system and alert both you and Frontpoint’s 24/7 monitoring professionals. Even while you’re away, Frontpoint has your back.

4. The Indoor Smart Plug

Make it look like someone’s home—even when you’re miles away. The Indoor Smart Plug lets you schedule lights to turn on and off at different times throughout the day, preventing your home from appearing vacant. A consistently dark house is a clear sign that no one is home, making it an easy target for burglars.

By following these Spring Break safety tips and equipping your home with the right security products, you can relax and enjoy your vacation without worry. With Frontpoint on your side, you can focus on making memories—while we help protect what matters most.
