Surveillance Cameras

Cameras are a significant part of home security. Modern cameras have come a long way from the bulky, grainy, occasionally unreliable systems of the past. Today, homeowners can access high-definition cameras with features like night vision, motion detection, and remote monitoring.

Smart Locks and Access Control

Smart locks are popular for obvious reasons: they're incredibly convenient and add a nice layer of protection to residential security systems. You control your smart locks remotely, which means you can lock and unlock any door in your home from your phone.

Access control systems can include keyless entry, keypad locks, and biometric authentication. They provide invaluable peace of mind and a more relaxed living situation. 

Alarm Systems

Home alarm systems have come a long way in the last two decades. Modern alarms connect to other in-home smart devices (think lighting and shades) and include fancy features like motion sensors and glass break detectors. 

Home Automation

Home automation is vital to make the most of your home security system. We mentioned it briefly but will expand on the topic now: lighting and motorized blinds create the appearance that someone is home, even when you're away. You can set your shades and lights on a specific schedule so they adjust automatically throughout the day, making them a major working part of your security. 

Remote Monitoring and Alerts

Alerts in real-time are a residential security game-changer. Mobile apps and cloud-based systems allow you to stay connected to your home around the clock. You'll receive notifications about unusual activity, have the option to arm or disarm your system remotely, and communicate with visitors through video doorbells.
