Keeping your security cameras on 24/7 — both inside and outside your property, and ensuring your vehicle has been thoroughly checked — adds important layers of protection and documentation.
Here are a few suggestions to help you stay on top of your security:
🔒 Home & Car Security Checklist
✅ Cameras & Monitoring
- Ensure cameras are recording and storing footage securely (preferably off-site/cloud storage).
- Place signs indicating video surveillance — they act as deterrents.
- Regularly check camera angles, night vision, and alerts.
🚗 Car Security
- Use a steering wheel lock or immobiliser as a visible deterrent.
- Park in well-lit areas or under camera surveillance.
- Check for tracking devices periodically — especially under the vehicle or in the glove box.
🧠 Digital Security
- Change Wi-Fi passwords regularly and secure devices with strong encryption.
- Ensure security camera apps or accounts use two-factor authentication.
🏡 At Home
- Reinforce doors and windows with locks or security bars.
- Use motion-sensor lighting outdoors.
- Don’t share routines or location publicly.
📲 Emergency Measures
- Share your current safety precautions with a trusted friend or family member.
- Keep your phone charged and location services on when out alone.
- Have an emergency contact shortcut set up on your phone.
If this is in response to a particular concern or incident, you’re doing the right thing by taking it seriously and being proactive. Would you like help writing a statement, social media post, or formal log about it for your records?
