1. Surveillance Cameras

It really doesn’t matter if you’ve been away for the afternoon or two weeks; smart surveillance cameras can allow you to check on your home at any time to make sure it is secure.

In the event of a break-in, video footage could aid police in catching the perpetrator.  It is a good idea to have these cameras not only located within the home but also outside around the perimeter.

Of course, this technology isn’t just for catching burglars: it also allows you to check on your dog or any other pet.  Perhaps you’ve been away for a while and want to make sure your plant is being taken care --cameras will confirm or deny their plant-sitting efforts.

At WSC Audio Video, we can make sure that you position your cameras in the best possible locations to be of maximum benefit. We’ll integrate them into an intuitive smart home automation system that makes it easy to pull up footage from an app at any time. 

2. Lighting Control Plus Automated Shades

Lighting control and automated shades can help create the perfect atmosphere within your home.  They are also a great security measure, especially if you are leaving for a while during the holidays.

Empty homes are a prime target for intruders. You can automate your lights to go on and off at different times throughout the day to make it look as if someone is actually home.  You can also do the same with automated shades for a real lived-in look.
