The kids are almost out of school and summer break is right around the corner. If only you could truly relax on vacation.

It’s usually several hours into the trip when you’ll look at your spouse and say something like, “Did you remember to pack the sunscreen?” Or “The neighbors are getting the mail, right?” Or something truly heart-stopping like, “Please tell me that you locked the back door, because I don’t think that I did.”

You can always buy more sunscreen or call the postal service to hold your mail while you are away, but you can’t secure your home once you’re on the road.

Or can you?

Protect Your Home

With a smart home security system, featuring Geo-Fencing technology, you can create an invisible barrier around your home, even if you are hundreds of miles away. You don’t need to wait until panic strikes, because your smart home alarm will notify you if you do forget to arm your home’s security system.

You can also check in on your home’s status at any time, so you can make sure that the neighbor locked up after feeding Fido. And if he accidently lost his key, no need to worry. Set a custom code specifically for him, so he can enter your home without it, making it easier to monitor whether your pets are being properly cared for while you are away.

Creating custom codes for your alarm system is a stress-free way to let who you want into your home when you want them there. For instance, if your house cleaners are scheduled for Tuesday at noon, set a custom security code specifically for them. Receive an alert when they arrive and when they lock back up upon completion, then cancel the code to prevent any further entry.
With a smart home alarm system, your phone, tablet, or laptop becomes a remote control for your house.

Smart Activity

Criminals are smart. Your home can be smarter. With Smart Activity capabilities, you can set your lights to mimic true-to-life home actions. Are you always in bed by ten? Set the lights to shut off. Do you typically put on a movie in the evenings? Arrange for your lights to dim and the television to turn on while you are away.
With a smart alarm system, you can also utilize energy saving options. There’s no need to heat or cool your house if no one is home. You can substantially lower your energy bills by monitoring your energy usage while on vacation using your smartphone or tablet.

Live Video

Leaving an older teenager home alone while taking that much needed romantic getaway? Worried about his or her behavior? Don’t be. With live video monitoring, you can give your teenager the space he or she desires without the concern that the party of the century is about to ensue.

The doorbell video will allow you to view your doorstep while relaxing on the beach or from your hotel room. Motion sensor technology sends alerts to your phone when someone approaches the door, even at night.

Additionally, recorded sections of the video can be received via text or email when motion is detected, providing proof of who stole your newspaper or who left that secret admirer card.

Professional Alarm Monitoring

In the unfortunate event that a burglar does attempt to break into your home while you are away on vacation, a smart home security system will protect your belongings. With constant professional monitoring, you can be assured that local emergency services will be alerted in case of an emergency or break-in, even if you do not respond to the phone notification or alert.

So go on vacation and relax. Let your teen stay home alone. Entrust your forgetful neighbor to feed your cat. With a smart home security system, you will be able to rest easy while away and know that when you come home, your house will be how you left it.
