The Makings of a Smart Security System
A smart security system creates an ecosystem of connected devices that work together. Electronic door locks, security cameras, motion sensors, automated lights, and motorized shades and windows connect to one platform.
Because these systems are smart, they know the difference between animals and people as well as strangers and family. When something unexpected occurs, such as a stranger walking up your driveway, you receive a push notification and a video clip.
Before the unthinkable occurs, you can lock the doors, turn on the floodlights, tell them they've been spotted through the two-way audio, and call law enforcement. And you can do this no matter where you are in the world.
Simulate Occupancy
Police suggest effective presence simulation is one of the best ways to prevent theft. When you leave for the day or an extended trip, press the ‘Away’ button. In response, your smart home randomly turns the lights and TV on and off and raises and lowers the motorized shades, creating the illusion that someone is home.
Preventing More Than Break-Ins
These systems do more than prevent criminals from fulfilling their intentions. They also protect against environmental hazards and children veering into dangerous areas. You receive alerts if excess water is detected in the laundry room, the wine cellar temperature goes out of range, your home experiences a power outage, or carbon monoxide is detected.
We also recommend digital perimeters, particularly for those with children. These unseen boundaries can be placed around pools and off-limits liquor or medicine cabinets. When crossed, you’ll receive an alert, enabling you to check in via live video feed to ensure all is well.
Letting In Household Staff
There are several instances when remote access comes in handy. To keep your home from being the target of porch pirates, you can remotely open the side gate or garage and ask your delivery driver to drop off the packages inside.
When the dog walker or household staff drops by, you’ll receive a notification and can greet them, unlock the door, and turn on the lights. As you can see, a smart security system offers the ultimate peace of mind, letting you know what’s happening when you’re away and enabling you to take action from anywhere.
