Smart Home Solutions
Smart technology is everywhere these days, from robot vacuums to smart thermostats. And it’s also in a variety of security systems. If you’re a DIY type, you might be drawn by the fact that many of these smart systems are customizable and easy to install. Of course, you can also get security systems that are set up and monitored remotely by a company; those systems can be ideal for many people. Today we’re discussing some of the things to consider integrating if you go the smart system DIY route.
Pair With Your Smart Home
You can find a wide variety of options that are fully compatible with home systems you might already be using like Alexa or Google Home; plus, they offer remote control. A good idea is to choose one that offers a phone app, so you can arm and disarm the system and get notifications right on your mobile device.
Door Cams
So many door cam videos have trended showing heartwarming stories of delivery drivers going the extra mile—they’ve also helped expose would-be porch pirates or home invaders. If you get a doorbell cam, you can monitor unexpected activity, record anything that could be suspicious, and know when packages have been delivered.
Environment Sensors
Home protection is more than just intruders—it also includes environmental factors. A variety of security systems also offer optional add-ons that can detect smoke and carbon monoxide as well as water leaks and freezing temperatures that could lead to burst pipes.
Your Windows as Security
It might seem counterintuitive, but your windows can also help with home security. With PowerView® Automation as the lift system on your window treatments, you get both security and convenience. You can program your window treatments to open and close at specific times, whether that’s from your routine or via local sunrise and sunset times. Plus, even when you’re away from the house, you can use your mobile device to program or adjust the treatments, making it seem like someone’s home, even if you’re halfway around the world.
