- Lighting. It is recommended to illuminate outdoor areas and access to your home. One option is to make use of a lighting which is activated by movement. This will allow you realize someone’s presence.
- Strangers. Avoid the entrance to your home to strangers. If asked to enter an emergency, it is better that you apply to the appropriate authorities.

- Services. If you applied any service before entering your home requests to be fully identified; otherwise, do not open the door.
- Information. No strangers reporting your activities, your family or neighbors.
- Objects. Avoid placing items of value that can be seen from the street or through the windows, as this could attract criminals. Avoid having more money at home.
- Posts. If you leave your house, avoid leaving obvious indications that there are; never put messages on the door indicating your absence.
- Doors. When you leave your home, check that doors and windows are kept closed, to prevent the entry of any foreign to your home. It is also recommended to install a panoramic peephole to see who called to the front door, especially at night.
