AWAY TRAVELING? GIVE YOURSELF PEACE OF MIND WITH HOME SECURITY
CHECK ON HOME ANYTIME & BACKUP YOUR SECURITY WITH REMOTE MONITORING
Whether you’re on a weekend trip or traveling abroad for a month, you should feel free to roam without worrying about returning to a ransacked home. But break-ins unfortunately do happen, and basic security devices like a video doorbell or door alarm are often not enough to prevent robberies.
You can become more proactive about your home security with a professionally-installed surveillance system. By implementing the following solutions in your Bay Area house, you can jet off with wanderlust—and leave your worries behind. Continue reading to learn how you can protect your home!

MIMIC AN OCCUPIED HOME
If your house looks dark and empty, it’s an easy target for burglars scouting the neighborhood. But when we install a home control system, we can integrate indoor lights, outdoor lights, AV systems, and motorized shades to activate anytime. Landscape and indoor lights will automatically brighten after dark, so it always looks like someone’s home. You can even remotely turn on indoor and outdoor speakers and TVs, so it sounds like someone’s home and enjoying a night of entertainment.
BUILD A CAMERA NETWORK
One camera at the front door isn’t enough to guard your house against break-ins. We recommend installing multiple cameras with wide-angle views on every side of the house and along the driveway. Cameras should ideally be placed out of reach, so they can’t be tampered with by any trespassers. Your security installer will integrate all the cameras into one system, so they work together to protect your home.
IMPLEMENT VIDEO ANALYTICS
With video analytic software, your cameras now “know” what they’re capturing and can tell the difference between people, vehicles, and animals. AI-enhanced cameras allow you to create rules so that if a person walks past a certain point or lingers for too long, it will notify your smartphone. Video analytics also minimizes false alarms so you won’t be bothered incessantly on your vacation.
ENLIST HELP WITH REMOTE MONITORING
Of course, you can't receive and monitor security alerts if you're hiking in a national park without cell service. Instead, you can trust a monitoring agency to evaluate alerts for you. If the system is tripped, trained operators will watch your home's cameras and determine if there's a threat. If they see something suspicious, they'll notify the authorities immediately on your behalf.
