Is a Smart Home Security System Worth the Investment?
House Systems Can Bring Peace of Mind to Your New York Space
While home entertainment systems may be more lucrative and glamorous, home security systems continue to drive the growth of the home automation market. Many people initially interested in basic surveillance packages quickly learn the added benefits that come from a smart security system that responds to their specific needs. Whether it is lights simulating activity or access to surveillance video from across the globe, House Systems can design a custom system that gives you the satisfaction of knowing your home and family are safe at all times.
Maintain Control At All Times
What scares us most is what we can’t control. Is the alarm set? Have all the doors been locked? Have the kids made it home safely from school? With a smart technology system, you can ensure everything is in order from an intuitive user interface on your touch pad or smart device.
An “Away” scene automatically arms your security system, closes the shades and locks all doors when you leave the house. Plus stay informed while you’re away. When your kids get home, an alert is sent to your phone with an accompanying snapshot so you know they’re safe. Access live HD surveillance footage from work to keep an eye on them whether they’re poolside or hanging out in your home theater. You can also access your alarm and locks remotely. Have a housekeeper coming in the afternoon? Get a message when she’s at the door to unarm your system and unlock the front door.
Integrate Your Entire Home
Bringing all the subsystems in your home together ensures maximum safety and security. Reduce fire risks by incorporating smoke detectors into your system. Authorities are alerted quicker when your detectors go off and your HVAC system can be turned off to avoid fueling a fire. You can also receive a warning on your phone when there’s excess moisture in leak-prone areas like under sinks or in laundry rooms with a water detection package. In a fully integrated home, your water pump can turn off in that situation to avoid flooding.
One of the biggest components of an integrated security system is smart lighting control. Have lights focus on intruders when they enter your home to get a better image on your surveillance cameras or have sun sensors linked to your landscape lighting so lights turn on at sunset to eliminate dangerous unlit areas. When leaving your home unattended for long periods of time, a ‘Vacation’ mode simulates activity by turning lights on and off and adjusting shades.
Keep your family safe with a system that recognizes your distinct needs and gives you information about what matters most to you no matter where you are. Contact House Systems for a fully-integrated, custom security solution designed to fit your New York space.
