Ahead of the Sukkot holiday, Walla Tourism publishes a comprehensive tips article on how to reduce the risk of home burglary while residents are on vacation. The article quotes Itai Alteretz, Deputy CEO of Security Systems at the security company Team 3, who recommends not sharing vacation photos on social media in real time, but only after returning home. Additional recommendations include asking a neighbor or family member to collect mail and take care of the trash, trimming the garden before leaving, arranging random visits to the house at different times, leaving a radio or TV on, and parking the car in a less conspicuous spot or asking for help moving it. The article also recommends installing advanced security camera systems such as Hikvision and Smart View, which allow remote monitoring and real-time alerts. Additionally, it is recommended to update the security center with the exact vacation dates and provide contact details of an available person.
