Smart Security Protects Homes and Loved Ones from Everyday Threats

Smart home security offers much more than video surveillance and burglar alarms. While these are important aspects of a home security system, the day-to-day protection and sense of safety often matter the most. These may include the little details, like receiving alerts when your children arrive home from school and ensuring packages are left in the garage instead of by the front door. 

Let's explore the features of smart home security and how they bring peace of mind to homeowners in Dorado, Guaynabo, and San Juan, PR, every day.

Protection Against Environmental Threats

Water damage from internal plumbing issues and external weather events is the number-one cause of damage in luxury homes. It occurs more frequently than theft, fire, or vandalism. Fortunately, smart home security offers early detection, which can significantly reduce property damage. 

Water and humidity sensors are placed in vulnerable areas, such as basements, near water heaters, under sinks, and in low-lying areas of the home. When sensors detect a leak or increased moisture, you receive instant notification via your smartphone. If no one is home to investigate the issue, the smart automatic water valve immediately shuts off the water. Thanks to your smart home, you can call your local handyperson and ask them to check on your home, remotely unlocking the door for them when they arrive. 

Setting Perimeters

One of the features our clients appreciate the most in smart home security is real-time alerts. You’ll receive an alert when anyone comes to your door, whether it’s your children, the gardener, or a stranger. A live security camera feed also pops up on your phone, so you can see who's there and speak to them through the two-way intercom. 

We’ll also set digital perimeters that send alerts when someone crosses them. For example, many families with toddlers want a virtual boundary around their pool. Others request a border around their entire property. Now, you know if your young children are staying "in bounds" when you’re busy in the kitchen. 

An Integrated Smart Home

A true smart home offers an ecosystem of connected devices that communicate with your home automation platform and each other. This system allows one-touch control on a user-friendly platform of your home's lighting, shades, climate, entertainment, and more. These systems also respond automatically. 

For example, when motion sensors detect movement, your lighting immediately illuminates the area, and the video pops up on your mobile device or TV. If carbon monoxide is detected, an alarm sounds, and your smart windows open to bring in the fresh air and reduce the toxic gas. Should fire be detected, the lights illuminate a trail to the doors, the doors unlock, and the exterior lights begin flashing to let first responders and your neighbors know that a security or life-threatening event is occurring.
