How Smart Home Security can improve your 2020.
As we enter into a new decade, many will continue the tradition of making New Year's resolutions to lose weight, break habits or save money; but, have you considered a resolution to better protect your home and family in 2020? The cold, rainy months of winter present a great opportunity to spend time inside and improve your home's safety and efficiency. Below are a few ways that a home security and smart home system can benefit you and your family in 2020.
Peace of Mind
Smart home security features offer homeowners peace of mind while away from home and/or family. Not only is a home with a monitored security system less attractive to potential burglars, the smart home features offered by Owen Security Solutions systems give you the ability to check-in on your home or loved ones from anywhere.
The easy-to-use app gives you real-time access to live video, recorded clips, alarm status and smart home automation features. Instant alerts are sent to your mobile device when an emergency or unexpected activity is detected, giving you the opportunity to confirm the need for emergency services or to verify an accidental alarm.
The smart home feature can also allow you to remotely control your home's door locks, in the event that a trusted neighbor or family member needs to access your home.
Save Money
A smart home security system can do much more than keep your family and home safe. Integrated technology, including thermostats, lights, leak detection, water shutoff valves and more, can be installed to also increase energy efficiency and reduce utility useage.
Smart thermostats can save homeowners significant amounts of money on their monthly utilities, often paying for themselves in just a few months. Schedules can be programmed to automatically regulate your home's temperature to an economic setting while unoccupied and readjust to your preferred temperature before you arrive home from work.
Lights can also be programmed on schedules, ensuring energy conservation and savings for your family. Don't pay for electricity you don't need! Customizable automations can be programmed to turn lights off when the home is unoccupied and turn them back on when an authorized person enters a defined perimeter or at a specified time. Never come home to a dark, spooky, scary house again!
Leak Detection and water shut-off features are designed to protect your home in the instance of a burst water pipe, flooding basement, leaky appliance, etc. The integration for these devices is customized for each homeowner. These devices are programmed to alert homeowners to possible concerns when moisture is detected in a designated area. This often prevents extensive damage to the home and saves homeowners significant amounts of time, money and stress.
Save Lives
Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide sensors save lives, but only if someone is home to hear the warning. Otherwise, homeowners often aren't aware of what has taken place until it's far too late. This can include a total loss of valuables, family heirlooms and, sadly, family pets that may be unable to escape.
Choosing a monitored system with life-safety technology enables communication that can alert you of an emergency at your home while preparing to dispatch first responder services.
