Security from Environmental Extremes
Every year, homes experience damage from extreme temperatures, flooding, and weather-related events. Installing sensors in your home that can detect rising water levels, a temperature change, and fire or smoke can help ward off a disaster.
These sensors are connected to your security system, which sends an immediate notification, letting you know what's been detected and where it exists. For example, you may receive an alert that water’s been detected in the basement.
In the winter, this may mean a frozen pipe that’s busted. In the summer, it may sense a storm surge and sump pump that’s no longer working. If a leak is detected, a smart water-shutoff valve can shut off the water to prevent further damage.
When smoke or fire is detected, the system can audibly let you know where so that you can plan a safe exit strategy for your family and let emergency responders know the exact location.
Security from Intruders
Sensors can also detect motion, broken glass, and if someone tries to open a window or door. When motion is detected, your surveillance cameras can zoom in, giving you a direct view that helps you or our monitoring service determine if a call to first responders is warranted.
Sensors and surveillance cameras can also integrate with a home’s lighting, whether turning on the floodlights or flashing inside and outdoor lights, alerting police and neighbors that there's a problem and possibly scaring the intruder off.
You can also install microphones and two-way speakers, enabling you to talk to whoever you see. Additional features include 360-degree views, night vision, and facial recognition.
Integrated Technology
When integrated with your home automation, a smart security system communicates with other electronic devices in the home. For example, it can automatically lock the door and arm the alarm when you leave for the day. Then, when it's time for bed, one-touch on your bedside tablet or wall keypad and the doors lock, the lights turn off, the temperature adjusts, and the security arms.
