5 Things to Consider for Your Home Security Installation

In these challenging times, we probably have plenty to worry about. But one of those things shouldn't be the safety of your home and family. One reason we think that way is that there are excellent security technology solutions that keep you informed about what's happening at home, inside and outside.

Keeping your home secure is more than alarms and monitoring, although that is a valuable layer of protection. It's about knowing what's happening and getting the right information quickly to take action should the need arise.

With these thoughts in mind, we’d like to suggest a few smart solutions to make the security installation in your Atlanta, GA home one less thing to keep you up at night.

Smart Control

Standard security panels have number keypads and cryptic controls. A smarter option is security that's integrated into a smart home system like Control4. With that, you can replace the unattractive keypad with a beautiful, intuitive, color touchscreen. The touchscreen gives you access to a variety of security as well as other smart home functions like lights, HVAC control, and more.

Security Cameras

Cameras are known to be an effective deterrent to wrongdoing. Equip your home with cameras both indoors and out. You can monitor your entrances to see if that noise was a package delivery or something else. With a video doorbell like Control4’s Door Station, you can identify and speak to a visitor from anywhere in your house. If something sounds off in the middle of the night, you can see all your camera views on one screen. Go even further with a surveillance system, and you can record video over time if you need to pinpoint what happened at a specific time.

Smart Locks

Even if you're home, with smart locks, you can always ensure your entrances are locked and safe with a view on a screen and the touch of a button. If you're prone to forgetting to lock doors at bedtime, you can program your system to secure all equipped doors as part of the nighttime routine.

Smarter Alerts

Do you have pets? Today's smart security camera software can filter out the movements of your cat, so you don't get alerted for something uneventful. If someone is in your backyard at night, however, you will be notified and can take appropriate action. Your smart locks can also tell you if the door was opened, in case your kids are outside when they shouldn't.

Intelligent Sensors

You can connect many different sensors to your smart security system to keep you alerted of many vital conditions. There are sensors for humidity, UV radiation, water leaks, carbon monoxide, and other potential hazards. Some of these hazards are not easily heard or seen, so early warning is critical to take action before things get worse.
