Build A Comprehensive Security Network

It’s 2 AM and a burglar is approaching your home from the backyard. Do you want your security system to activate when they’ve reached the door and are making their way inside? Or do you want your security system to stop the burglar before they get close enough to become a threat?

With an automated smart home security system, you can connect a network of devices that work together to protect your family and your property. Sophisticated motion sensors can distinguish human movement from other moving objects, and if someone is trespassing, those sensors will automatically activate outdoor lights and an alarm that tells the criminal they have been detected and the authorities have been notified. You'll get an alert on your smartphone, which also gives you access to your security cameras so you can see exactly what is happening on your property in real time.

With evolving face recognition technology, your security system will recognize you and the other residents of your home, so your house doesn't go into lockdown when on e of your kids comes home late.

Create the Illusion of Occupancy

Remember the scene in Home Alone where Macaulay Culkin concocts an elaborate party scene in his home to convince the burglars that it's occupied? Flash forward a couple of decades and it's possible to achieve a similar effect with the push of a button thanks to automated technology.

If you’re away from home for an extended period, you can activate a “mockupancy” setting that turns on lights, window treatments, and even A/V components in a random but realistic pattern that mimics your family’s actual routine.
