How often do you get worried about the safety of your home when you’re away? Whether you’re concerned about leaving the garage door open while you’re at work or concerned about criminals targeting your home while you’re on vacation, you can put your mind at ease with a surveillance system that you can access from your smartphone anywhere in the world with an internet connection. 

Thanks to the evolution of surveillance technology, you can livestream multiple HD feeds from different cameras to a single smart device. You gain instant access to what’s happening on your property in real time, as well as the option to look at archived footage. It’s a simple process with an Alarm.Com smart security system, and the video below shows just how easy it is to check your surveillance cameras. 

 

Establish A Secure Perimeter 

If there’s someone trespassing on your property, you want their presence to be detected immediately. An automated smart home system from Alarm.com makes this possible by connecting various smart devices to detect intruders, deter them from coming closer, and notify you so you can contact the authorities. 

When motion sensors detect unauthorized activity, your system will automatically activate outdoor lights and issue an audio warning that the criminal has been seen and authorities are on the way. An alert is sent to your smartphone, where you’ll be able to check your surveillance cameras to see what’s happening without putting yourself in danger. 

Act Immediately In Emergencies

Break-ins aren’t the only emergencies that your home security system can protect against, and if there’s a fire, flood, or carbon monoxide leak, your Alarm.com system will let you know. If dangerous fumes or smoke are detected, your climate control system will shut down to minimize circulation. If there’s a fire while you’re away, the proper authorities will be notified so they can put it out before damage is too severe. In the case of a flood, you can connect your system to an automated water control valve that cuts off the water flow, and doors will be unlocked so that professionals can enter your home and fix the problem.
