When Summer Starts Early, Home Security Can Help
Depending on what decision is made at the state level in the next few weeks, 2020 could be the year that summer starts early for many school-aged kids. If so, parents who are returning to their workplaces will need a way to stay on top of what’s going on at home. Luckily, there’s home security technology to help with that. For parents who need immediate solutions, here’s what we suggest implementing.
Home Security in a Time of Social Distancing
In this time of social distancing, the need to stay connected to the people we love is critical. If you’re a homeowner who takes advantage of smart home security, then you have technology on your side. While the video conferencing tools you’re using can help you stay connected to work, your home security technology can help you stay connected to family. Here are some ideas.
Automating Your Home with Smart Scenes
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a magic button that did all your home management tasks at the same time? If you have the Scenes feature on your smart home security app, you do. In fact, Scenes gives you more than one button: Home, Away, Sleep and Wake Up. Each of these buttons is constructed for those times of day where you need to have your system do multiple things at the same time. What times of day? Here are the four that already have buttons built into the Scenes feature.
When a Burglar Smashes Your Security Panel
If a burglar breaks into your house and smashes your security panel to disable it, can your system still do its job? If you have made the choice to include crash and smash protection as an enhancement to your service, then the answer is yes. Let’s look at how burglars view crash and smash break-ins, and how an added layer of protection can suppress crash and smash attempts.
The Image Sensor: A Great Addition to Your System
Rapid, vibrant photos are all the rage these days; ask anyone who’s an avid social media user. Now, even your home security system can send an instant, high definition image to your phone or email. It’s all possible with an image sensor, a device made available exclusively by the manufacturer of our home security systems.
