From power outages to frozen pipes, winter comes with unpredictable weather and unique challenges. When it comes to protecting your home, utilizing smart security systems paired with home automation can keep your home safe, comfortable and energy efficient all winter long.
Smarter Security for Winter Nights
Extended darkness is one of the hallmarks of the winter months and homes are more vulnerable to break ins. With a smart security system, you’ll have critical features such as motion-activated lighting, real-time alerts, and remote monitoring to keep your home protected while you sleep or travel for the holidays. Creating the appearance of occupancy through lighting and motion sensor features is a highly effective deterrent for thieves.
Temperature Control
Regulate temperature with smart thermostats that, when integrated with your security system, help maintain comfort while controlling energy costs. Set schedules, adjust temperatures remotely, and automate these temperature changes to fit your comings and goings from your house. Keep your home cozy, mitigate high heat bills, and prevent pipes from freezing through automated temperature control.
Winter Hazards
In the winter, the threat of frozen pipes, water leaks, smoke, and carbon monoxide emergencies greatly increase. Early alerts sent directly to your phone provide warnings that can prevent costly damages, or worse, dangerous situations. Keep your family safe while at the same time, avoiding expensive repairs.
Remote Access
Whether you’re at work, traveling for the holidays, or managing a busy schedule, remote access lets receive alerts from anywhere. With a few clicks on your phone, you can check cameras, arm/disarm your system or even set temporary access for specific people who need to enter your house while away. This visibility provides peace of mind no matter where winter takes you.
Power Outage Readiness
Professionally monitored systems have battery backups to ensure that even if your power goes out, your security system does not. While you prepare for whatever winter might bring, your security remains active regardless.
