How Smart Security Lighting Protects Your Home and Family

Deterring Intruders
Before you even hear a sound, your smart home lets you know someone’s on your property. AI-smart security cameras determine if a stranger is present, sending an alert and signaling the security lights to illuminate. For many intruders, that’s enough to send them running. Add two-way audio, and they’re more than likely to leave the premises.
Flashing Red Lights
Flashing red lights mean something’s wrong. From the red lights on police cars and fire trucks to the OSHA danger sign that states, “Do not enter when red light is flashing,” we understand the significance deep within our psyche.
This works in your favor when protecting your home and family.
If an attempted break-in is in process, the system triggers specific lights in the home to turn red and start flashing. Not only does this act often scare off would-be thieves, but it also alerts neighbors and any police in the area that a security threat is present.
The Proven Benefits of Security Lighting
A study conducted in almost 80 New York public housing developments found a dramatic correlation between outdoor lighting and the level of crime. Reported by LEDs Magazine, the study determined that increased lighting resulted in a 39% reduction in serious crimes at night.
Presence Simulation
Another proven proactive measure is presence simulation, the number one intruder deterrent recommended by police. Our expert integrators at Prodigy AV will program an ‘Away’ button on a keypad by the door. When you leave, pressing the button activates your home’s presence simulation.
The lights in your home turn on and off, similar to when you’re home. At the same time, motorized shades raise and lower, and a TV randomly comes on. Anyone observing your house as a potential target would believe it’s occupied.
Never Come Home to a Dark House
It’s reassuring to know your well-lit home will welcome you when night arrives. We’ll use geofencing to program the entryway, kitchen, and landscape lights to illuminate as soon as you pull into the driveway.
We’ve all seen the videos of someone pulling up behind a car and blocking them in. Smart security enables you to pull up a smartphone app and press a button. In response, it triggers the alarm and starts flashing the security lights.
