Moving into a newly built home is exciting, but security should be part of the planning process from the beginning. New construction homes can benefit from a professionally designed security system that protects the property, valuable equipment, and the people who will call it home.

At Cyber Shield Security, we provide customized residential and new construction security solutions, including security cameras, smart home automation, access control, video doorbells, smart locks, and intrusion detection systems.

Here are five important ways to help improve security for your newly constructed home.

1. Install Motion-Activated Lighting

Good outdoor lighting can improve visibility around your property and make it easier to monitor important areas at night.

Consider motion-activated lighting around:

• Front and back entrances

• Driveways and walkways

• Garages

• Side yards

• Sheds and outdoor storage areas

When integrated with security cameras or smart home automation, lighting can provide additional visibility when motion is detected.

Cyber Shield Security provides smart lighting and home automation solutions that can be integrated with compatible residential security systems.

2. Install Security Cameras Early

Security cameras can help homeowners monitor their property during and after construction. Installing cameras early may also help monitor the property while construction is still ongoing.

Important areas to consider include:

• Main entrances and exits

• Driveways

• Garages

• Construction access points

• Side and backyard areas

At Cyber Shield Security, we provide professional CCTV and security camera installation for new construction and existing homes. Our team can help evaluate camera coverage and recommend placement based on your property's layout.

3. Make Your Home Look Occupied

An unoccupied home may attract unwanted attention. If you are not yet living in your new home, simple steps can help create the appearance that the property is active.

Smart home automation can allow compatible lights and other devices to operate on schedules. You can also arrange for trusted individuals to collect packages or check on the property when necessary.

Avoid sharing too many details about your property's location, construction schedule, or extended absences on public social media accounts.

4. Secure Your Garage and Outdoor Storage Areas

Garages, sheds, and outdoor storage areas often contain valuable tools, equipment, vehicles, and personal belongings.

Make sure these areas are included in your overall security plan. Consider:

• Reliable locks

• Door and window sensors

• Security cameras

• Motion detection

• Smart garage monitoring

An attached garage can also provide another possible entry point into your home, making it important to include it in your residential security system.

Cyber Shield Security can help integrate compatible sensors, cameras, and access solutions to help protect these important areas.

5. Upgrade to Smart Locks or Secure Key Management

Avoid leaving spare keys in predictable locations such as under mats, flowerpots, or other easily accessible areas.

Smart locks and modern access solutions can provide greater control over who can enter your property. Depending on the system, homeowners may be able to manage authorized access without relying solely on physical keys.

This can be particularly useful during construction when builders, contractors, technicians, and other authorized personnel may require access to the property.

Cyber Shield Security provides professional smart lock and access control installation services for residential properties.
