for insurance purposes please be sure to turn the alarm back on when you go out
you can also turn the alarm to cover the ground floor at night if you would feel more comfortable, please ask us for the instructions There are also motion detectors in the house which are controlled by the alarm so they will not be operational unless you go out and turn the alarm on. There is a light on them when they're operational so you can check for yourself.
if you feel more comfortable there are bags next to them which you can cover them with, please do not fiddle with them, switch them off or unplug them and, if you do cover them, please be sure to take the cover off before you leave As you can see, the house is well hidden from the road so it's important that it's alarmed when unoccupied and that the owners can monitor remotely using the cameras..
