As Ottawa transitions from winter to spring, it's crucial to reassess and upgrade your home's security. At Acros, we've noticed that seasonal changes often create unique security vulnerabilities that homeowners might overlook. Here's your comprehensive spring security checklist to ensure your home stays protected.
1. Post-Winter Security Assessment
• Check for winter damage to door frames and windows
• Inspect outdoor security cameras for ice or snow damage
• Test all exterior lighting systems
• Verify that smart locks are functioning properly after exposure to cold
2. Landscape Security (CPTED Principles)
• Trim overgrown bushes that may have provided winter coverage
• Clear sightlines to entry points
• Install motion-sensor lighting for newly exposed areas
• Consider security-focused landscaping choices for spring planting
3. Smart Security System Updates
• Update all security system software
• Test wireless connections and backup systems
• Replace batteries in sensors and devices
• Verify camera angles after winter adjustments
4. Entry Point Security
Our latest security audits in Ottawa have shown that 65% of spring break-ins occur through poorly maintained entry points. Consider upgrading to our Bluetooth Deadbolt Smart Lock with Touchpad (Currently available at C$89.99, regular price C$179.99).
5. Surveillance System Maintenance
Spring is the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor surveillance. Our Lorex Fusion Series 4K 16-Camera NVR Systems provide comprehensive coverage for any property size.
Expert Tip: Many Ottawa homeowners don't realize that spring thaws can affect underground wiring for security systems. Schedule a professional security assessment to ensure all systems are functioning optimally.
