Spring is a great time to plan a getaway for yourself or the whole family. While you're researching all the must-visit sights and activities, though, you should also take some time to make home security a priority. Knowing your home is in good hands while you're away will help you enjoy the experience to the fullest, and CenturyLink® Security is a trusted source for security systems. Before you head out this spring, they have a few items to add to your home security checklist.

Let Your Central Station Know

It's never a good idea to broadcast vacation timing on social media or other public information spaces, but you should contact your local CenturyLink^® Security central station. Let your central station know you will be on vacation, in advance, and inform them of any special instructions you would like followed in your absence. The central station will be able to monitor your home more effectively.

Securely Store Valuables

One of the first rules of solid home security involves keeping your valuables out of sight. Bring inside any outdoor valuables and then secure your home with a smart security system from CenturyLink^® Security. If you have not signed up for a security system from CenturyLink^® Security already, please give us a call at (800) 256-3352 or visit us on the web at www.centurylink.com/home/security

Consider Additional Surveillance Options

Whether you're home or away, it always helps to have an extra set of eyes to keep watch over your home. CenturyLink^® Security offers state-of-the-art video surveillance technology, all of which can be viewed from a mobile device with WIFI capabilities. You can check the live feed via your mobile device at any time for some added peace of mind.

Program Your Thermostat & Lighting

You should also make sure your home is equipped to function efficiently and safely while you're away. CenturyLink^® Security smart security systems are ideal for setting lighting schedules, managing temperatures, and controlling other essential functions from the convenience of your mobile device. Light schedules will turn your lights on and off while you are away from home to give the illusion of activity.  

Vacations should be fun for everyone involved, but without the right home security measures, you might find yourself unnecessarily preoccupied during your trip. Relieve yourself of those concerns with the help of CenturyLink^® Security. Give us a call at (800) 256-3352 to speak with a representative, or visit our website for more information on security system options.
