Your Smart Home Starts with Smart Security
31% of homes in Canada already have Smart Home devices, a number that is expected to rise above 53% by 2026. There are thousands of devices on the market making lives easier and turning our everyday household items into Smart Devices. The challenge comes in finding better ways to integrate these devices, so you don’t have to juggle a dozen different apps.
Your security system should be the foundation of your Smart Home. A Smart Home Security system not only protects your home but allows you to control it entirely.
One App, Total Control
A Smart Home Security System is no longer simply intrusion detection. Your system can integrate with systems throughout your home such as: smart thermostats, water sensors for flood detection, smart locks, lighting, and a host of other network-connected devices in your home.
This allows you to control all aspects of your Smart Home from one app. You can program “scenes” that simplify it even further, activating or deactivating multiple devices with a single click. Activate lights and thermostats when you come home, lock up and turn off lights for the night from bed, or turn down your lighting to set the mood for date night.
More Devices, More Control
The internet of things (IOT) is one of the biggest driving factors in Smart Home Adoption. More and more devices can connect to our networks and be controlled remotely.
A.I. Driven Control
Controlling your home is only the beginning of Smart Home Automation. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is helping smart homes manage themselves. Your system can improve the energy efficiency of your home by automatically adjusting for weather conditions, when you leave, and in anticipation of your return home.
A.I. is also making your home safer. The software in your video doorbell or security camera can detect the difference between people, animals, and vehicles and respond appropriately. A critter visiting in the backyard doesn’t warrant much attention at 2 am, but a person could trigger lights and an alert to your phone. That means fewer false alarms and better awareness of what is happening around your home.
Control, Even When You’re Away
Remotely controlling the devices in your home is about more than turning off the lights with your phone because you’re already comfortable on the couch. With a Smart Home Security System, you can easily check in on your home from anywhere with an internet connection.
Your Smart Home can automatically adjust your lights to give the impression someone is home even if you are on a beach in a different country. It can also help you stay aware of what is going on, when children arrive home from school or when packages are delivered. Your system can send real-time notifications for unexpected activity, you can remotely view your cameras, see who is at the door, or even grant access to your home through the app.
A Smart Home Security System not only protects your home but allows you to control it from one app. Making your life more convenient and safer. Speak to a security consultant today about upgrading your home to a Smart Home.
