A Modern Home Security System Defined
Gone are the days when a home security system consisted of a camera by the door. Today, these systems are smart, integrating many security and home automation elements into one cohesive whole.
The lights, audio-video, security cameras, and door locks work together. When a stranger walks onto your property, the smart cameras zoom in and send you an alert and video clip on your mobile device. From your phone, one button press locks the doors, arms the alarm, illuminates indoor and outdoor lighting, and sounds the alarm.
Summer Vacations and Peace of Mind
One of the worst distractions from a relaxing vacation is worrying about what’s happening back home. Today’s security systems eliminate that by enabling you to check in from anywhere. Pull up a live video feed and the home automation platform to see what’s happening and ensure all the windows, doors, and garages are locked and the alarm is armed.
You’ll automatically receive a notification if the system detects a person or if someone attempts to enter your home. You’ll also receive an alert if it identifies increasing moisture or changing temperatures, suggesting potential water or HVAC damage.
Calling a neighbor or friend to check your home can relieve any fears. When they arrive, you can greet them, unlock the front door, and turn on the lights from your phone. Two-way audio, video, and remote access open up a world of possibilities when checking on your home, protecting your property, and managing who comes and goes when you’re away.
These smart systems also deter thieves through presence simulation. When you’re away, your smart home continues to operate, adjusting shades and turning the lights and TVs on and off. This random action creates the illusion that someone is home.
Protecting What Matters Most
Today’s smart security cameras possess digital tripwires that send you an alert when crossed. For those with younger family members, placing these invisible boundaries around pools, in front of medicine cabinets, and at the top of stairs provides an added layer of safety.
These security cameras can also detect when something is missing and send a notification. Whether it's the car in your driveway or a statue in the yard, you'll receive a message when something is moved and not replaced within a specific time period.
