A smart security system is a precautionary and proactive solution that no homeowner should ever overlook. Not only does a smart security system alert you in real time to suspicious activity, but you have the power to remotely monitor and manage your property from afar. 

Below, explore the top four features of a smart security and remote alarm monitoring system and how it can grant you better peace of mind while you’re at home in Buckhead, GA or away.

1. Smart Cameras

Cameras in security systems are a given. However, the surveillance cameras we install are professional-grade and offer quality features like 4K resolution, remote pan-tilt-zoom, improved night vision, and video analytics to help you keep a better eye on what’s happening in and around your property. These smart cameras are also equipped with motion sensors to activate immediately when a person or object passes certain areas and to help reduce false alerts. When you want to check in on your property, accessing live and recorded footage is simple from a mobile app. 

2. Remote Access

A smart security system allows you to monitor and control your home even when you're miles away. You can have a look inside and around your home from anywhere in the world on your smartphone, tablet, or even a laptop. It gives you peace of mind that your family and home are safe even when you're not at home. What’s more, you can remotely unlock the door for a guest, open the garage to allow a delivery person to drop off a package, unarm the alarm system for your kids, and more—all without having to be home. 

3. Energy Management

Often, people forget to switch off the lights and adjust the thermostat before leaving the house. What if you could manage these systems remotely, too? With a home automation system like Control4, you can integrate your security, lighting, climate, and other systems into one platform to manage everything remotely. Switch the lights off, adjust the thermostat, and even close your motorized window treatments from anywhere, at any time, to ensure you’re preserving energy when no one is home.

4. Detection of Carbon Monoxide 

Carbon monoxide buildup inside your home can be poisonous, and it isn't easy to detect. Fortunately, carbon monoxide sensors can be integrated with your smart security system so that you can receive an alert as soon as carbon monoxide reaches unsafe levels. What’s more, these sensors can trigger your HVAC system to stop running to help reduce the spread of carbon monoxide throughout the home. As soon as levels become unsafe, your HVAC system will stop, and you’ll receive a mobile notification right away, allowing you to take quick action to get loved ones out of the house—even if you’re not there.
