Security Tips

	Remember your duress code. Choose a code that is easy to remember in a critical situation
	Be sure children know who to call in an emergency
	Test your security system semi-annually to ensure that the Monitoring Station is receiving the proper signal
	Know your cancellation code, and provide it to the monitoring representative when you are contacted to determine the nature of the alarm
	It is important that you contact System 5 Electronics to provide changes to your emergency contact list, to ensure that your emergency call list is current in the event of an alarm.
	Arm your system at all times, even if you are in any remote part of the house or in the yard
	Place large gauge gravel on the ground near windows. The noise caused by intruders walking on it can become a psychological deterrent
	Use a timer to turn your lights on and off while you are away
	Leave a radio on to present the illusion of the occurrence of a conversation
	Replace all locks if someone losses a key or when you move to a new home.
	Exterior doors should be strong enough to withstand excessive force.
	All strike plates and frames for exterior doors should be anchored to the home's main construction.
	Your address should be posted on your house and be clearly visible from the street at night and during the day.
	All entrances (doors and windows) to your home should be well lit at night.
	Ground plants under windows should be maintained at a height that is below the windowsill.
	Plant thorny plants along fences and under windows. Such plants will discourage even the most nimble intruder. Protecting with spiny plants is as effective as the use of barbed wire, and a lot more attractive.
