It’s back-to-school time and maybe your lazy summer has turned into a full calendar of pick-ups, drop-offs, and the kick-off of every type of school activity you can imagine. So while you and your family are trying to make the fall schedule work, let’s make sure your home security is working for you by utilizing smart security features.
Schedule your alarm system to work with your new schedule.
By programming your new schedule into your security system, the alarm can arm and disarm automatically. Preset your system to arm at a time when you are all out the door in the morning and disarm during afternoon bus drop off. You can set bedtime alarms at night and create exceptions for the weekend. Allow the smart features to keep your security schedule for you so you will never question if the alarm is on again.
Bye, bye keys, hello smart locks.
No more stress about lost keys or hiding keys in easy-to-find only for your family places. Setting unique access codes will ensure your kids can get into your house and you get notified when they do. Codes are easily changed for enhanced safety and temporary codes can be created for anyone needing one-time or temporary access.
Utilize motion activated security features.
Motion alerts will let you know who’s at your home, even when you are not. Know when your packages are delivered or who may be on your doorstep. When cameras have motion sensors, you can have peace of mind knowing who’s at the door when your kids are home alone. Additionally, automating lights to turn on in the morning eradicates the need for fumbling around in the dark morning and ensures that your home is well lit at certain times or when anyone comes on your property.
Design ideal “home lighting, temperature and security” settings.
When you leave the house, press one button to turn lights off, adjust temperature, lock doors and enable cameras. No more worrying from the road if your house is unlocked and vulnerable. Then before you return home, use smart features again to adjust all those features back to where you want them.
Control Everything from Your Phone
Perhaps the greatest gain from modern security features, is controlling everything from your phone. You don’t have to “go home” to see what’s going on. You can view cameras, get alerts and adjust and override settings without leaving baseball, football or cheer practice.
