Secure Your Corridors Avoid Burglars this Halloween

What better day to be a burglar than Halloween? It’s a night of hidden identities and general chaos in the streets. With all these distractions going on, sneaking into a stranger’s home to make off with valuables can be almost too easy.

It may be traditional for trick-or-treaters to knock on your front door, which is why burglars will be looking at other means of entry. Be sure to keep all of your doors and windows locked. For extra security, you can view a live stream of your home’s exterior with an inTouch system from SEi.
