Smart thermostats, connected doorbells, voice assistants, lighting apps, and Wi-Fi-enabled televisions have become common in homes throughout Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, and the greater Hampton Roads area. But owning several smart devices does not necessarily mean you have a truly smart home.

A genuinely smart home is not defined by the number of products connected to the internet. It is defined by how well those products work together, how naturally they fit into your routine, and whether they make everyday living easier.

The best smart-home technology should not create more apps, passwords, remotes, or complicated instructions. It should bring the home’s lighting, entertainment, security, climate, shades, and other systems together into one dependable and intuitive experience.

How Connected Devices Provide Deep Discounts

According to a study by Safewise, monitored safety and security devices in your Hampton Roads, VA home can reduce your homeowner’s insurance up to 20 percent. WSC Home Audio and Video provides home security solutions that give you not only peace of mind but also abundant savings. 

How? The FBI has reported that a burglary occurs approximately every 15 seconds in the U.S., and homes without security systems are three times more likely to be invaded than homes that have security systems. Insurance companies determine costs based on risk, so the higher your risk of criminal activity, the higher your premium. That’s where smart security devices come in handy.

Insurance companies understand that monitored security systems reduce the likelihood your home will be burglarized or suffer costly water or fire damage, resulting in fewer claims for them and, ultimately, less expense for homeowners.
