Strategies to Protect Your Home and Enjoy Your Vacation to the Fullest
The anticipation builds every year as summer approaches, and everyone starts thinking of the perfect annual vacation. Will it be a cruise this year? Or an all-inclusive resort? During this time, we want your family to focus on the relaxing, exciting times ahead. Worries about leaving your home behind shouldn’t affect your decision.
A smart security system acts as an active caretaker while you’re away. Instead of a basic alarm, you have a whole ecosystem to keep an eye on your property. Plus, with remote capabilities, you’re able to check in at any time to alleviate any worries.
Deter Intruders with an Active Home Presence
The biggest concern about leaving for long periods of time is usually break-ins. It’s one of the reasons security experts recommend not announcing vacation plans on social media. An empty home is a prime target for robbers. Now, your technology can help make your home look occupied.
An “Away” scene triggers lights and shades to mimic your real-life patterns. Landscape lighting works off schedules and motion-activated sensors to eliminate hiding spots and signal that the property is still actively watched. In some cases, we let your AV components in on the action too: turn TVs on and off or have audio playing to further simulate activity.
Guard Your Deliveries and Manage Remote Access
Are you expecting an important delivery or home service while you’re away? Or do you need to let the dog walker in throughout the day? Smart doorbells, combined with remote gate and door locks, help you provide access from anywhere in the world. If you want to be truly disconnected, provide temporary access codes that can be tracked and revoked instantly. A much more secure option than leaving physical keys under the mat.
Use AI-enabled cameras that distinguish between a delivery person and a passing car. Receive a notification as soon as someone leaves a package at your door. Then, let your neighbors or property managers know so they can bring it inside for you.
Maintain a Visual Connection from Anywhere
Even with all the proactive security measures, there’s an unrivaled peace of mind in seeing it for yourself. With a smart security system, pull up a high-definition, multi-camera grid to monitor your entire home. Check on the backyard, pool area, or driveway in seconds when you have a moment of downtime.
Beyond video, give your entire home a little status check. Check doors to make sure they’re all locked, that all lights are turned off, and that the sprinkler system is scheduled for the right time. We make it easy for you to do all this from the same app, so you can be back to relaxing by the pool in no time.
