Vulnerable While Away

Most home intrusions occur while the homeowner is away, with a significant rise of break-ins during the summer months. A criminal, understanding that most vacations occur between the end of a school year and just before the start of the next one, looks for signs that a home is unoccupied. A home that continues to look lived in deters nefarious individuals from considering your house a target. 

Act Like You Are Home

Your  lighting control enhances the spaces you live in, helping you focus and improving your overall well-being. It can also be used to replicate your normal activities while you are away, turning lights on or off based on your regular schedule. Lights mounted outside are the most significant deterrent; police studies show that these units reduce attempts by 45%.  In addition, your home automation raises and lowers motorized shades and turns on the TV to maintain the appearance of being occupied.

Protect From Leaks and Floods

The threats to your home’s security can also come from within. The HVAC system, your spa, pool, and jacuzzi all present potential hazards.  A leak from the air conditioning or a failure with the pool pump could be disastrous if it remains unnoticed and unchecked.  Sensors attached to the critical area notify you when an issue occurs, giving you time to contact the appropriate people to get it fixed. 

Identify and Manage Access

Cameras mounted at all entrances, including intercom and video doorbells, combined with those mounted along the property line give you advance notice of people entering your property.  Track and record suspicious activity, having files available for the police or insurance should it be needed. 

Mobile apps let you stay connected to your home from anywhere in the world. Review security alerts, answer the doorbell, unlock the garage for delivery people, or allow trades-people access. You can keep an eye on anyone working in the home, ensuring that they keep to the rooms and spaces that require service.
