Keep Your Property Safe This Halloween

September 3rd, 2020



According to recent polls, the top 3 favorite American holidays are Christmas in the number one spot, Thanksgiving at number two, and Halloween rounding out the top three. Each of these holidays presents their own safety and security concerns, but with Halloween approaching quickly in Houston, TX, it’s certainly the celebration to focus on now. Halloween is a bit different in its celebration when compared to Thanksgiving or Christmas, as it’s the only holiday on the calendar that largely involves getting out and about while approaching the properties of your neighbors. 

In order to have a safe, happy, and fun Halloween, property owners of Houston, TX can make a few extra preparations this year. Halloween of 2020 falls on a Saturday with a full moon, which is perfect for extra spooky fun that doesn’t need to evolve into an actually scary place for you and your family. 

Preparing For A Safe Halloween 

Preparing for a safe Halloween isn’t difficult, it just takes a little extra thought to make sure you’ve given your security the consideration it deserves. A few preparations families of Houston, TX can make include: 

  1. Keep your property well-lit – During Halloween night, trick or treaters will be walking up and down sidewalks, walkways, and driveways to go door to door collecting sweets. While keeping things dark and spooky is in tune with the Halloween mood, it’s also important to keep things safe. A dark walkway with unseen debris can leave a property owner liable for injuries should a child or parent fall and hurt themselves on the way to your front door. Motion sensor lighting keeps your walkways lit and safe just when it’s needed most. 

  1. Consider a doorbell camera – If you’re unsure if that knock on your door is a trick or treater or something more nefarious, a doorbell camera will let you know from a safe distance. You can check your doorbell camera without ever getting up from the couch, and you may even communicate with those on the other side if you’ve run out of candy or you spot something suspicious. 

  1. Outdoor security cameras keep your property protected – Halloween night can be a popular night for mischief, and you don’t want to wake up to learn you’ve been the victim of vandals. Outdoor security cameras can deter crime before it happens or catch all the evidence you need right on your footage. When vandals spot security cameras, they’re most likely to turn and walk away.

"Steve I just wanted to thank you and your partner Ray Kindsfather for the fine work you men did installing the security cameras around my home. The quality of the pictures is excellent, the clarity in day or infrared mode is exactly what I was looking for. What good is a camera if you can't identify the person and these cameras will greatly assist the police in identifying a perpetrator. The computer side of the job is easy and fast with very little adjustment time for me in finding what I want to see. Software and hardware get A+++++ no doubt about. The Ring is equally easy to use and the quality of the camera is equally strong. The installation was clean and fast. You maintain a clean site, it’s like you were never here. You answered all my questions with pin point accuracy. Integrity suits you well. Your answers were honest and to the point. Refreshing in today’s world. All and all you and Ray make a strong team at DWS Technology LLC. I have no problem recommending you to friend or family, home or business. God bless you both with your business. I will call you for future installations. "

"Ray, in reviewing several different security cameras there were many good products, but none met my criteria of clarity and no long-term contract. Raymond, you showed me one product that caught my attention with the clarity and distance viewing that I could not get with other systems. The zoom after a few feet became distorted with the other systems but with the Alibi NVR package you demoed, we could zoom in and out with clarity which made this product stand out from all the rest. The NVR system is so simple, in fact, anyone can configure the system to suit their needs. You can monitor your home from your smartphone or tablet and having security cameras makes it a great deterrent for criminal activity. DWS Technology delivered as promised! Your installation crew worked clean and treated my home as if it was their own. Great attention to detail! I will recommend DWS Technology to anyone! Great job guys!"
