An Eye on Your Home Surroundings

Smart surveillance cameras are key to staying in the know of what’s happening on your residence. From the early hours of the evening to the late-night hours that kids and teenagers are still roaming around the streets, you can conveniently check in from your smart device to see that no unwanted guests are loitering on your property.

Pan, zoom, and tilt your cameras to check in when kids grab candy from your front porch, if an animal tries to get into your candy bowls, or if someone is getting too close to other areas of your home. Surveillance cameras at every point of your exteriors – from the front door to the backyard – ensures that you’ll never miss if suspicious activity takes place.

Automated Door Locks

There will, more than likely, be a lot of opening and closing of your doors this Halloween. Whether you’re sending kids off to trick-or-treat or are setting up a home candy station yourself, it can be hard to keep track of whether you’ve locked the door or not – especially when you’re continually going in and outside.

Automated door locks give you complete command of your points of entry. After setting up candy, you can just press a button on your smart device to lock and arm every door in the house. Unlock a gate to let trick-or-treaters into your residence to grab some candy, and instantly lock it again once they’ve left. Kids coming home late? They can have their own personalized codes to let them in; your doors will then lock once they’re safely back inside.

Remote Access

If you’re heading out with your kids to trick-or-treat or to take part in Halloween festivities, then you might be leaving your home unoccupied – and vulnerable to any who come across your house. But with remote access, you can manage and control every aspect of your smart home security system – right from your smartphone, no matter where you are!

Double-check that your doors are locked, arm all your smart alarms, and check in on surveillance footage in real-time. No hassle or fuss; you can enjoy your night out with family while knowing that you’ll all return to a safe and secure home once the night is over.
