Home Security

Theft, property crimes and violence are on the upswing all over the country — and sadly, these trends are poised to continue throughout 2022. Before the next year begins, now is the time to enhance your home security. Consider these home security add-ons to fortify your castle from break-ins in the new year. 

Soon, we’ll be enjoying a beautiful winter wonderland outside — but inside, your home will be at risk of all kinds of seasonal hazards. From HVAC failures and indoor floods, to burst pipes and water damage, homeowners like you need smart home technology that can help you stay on top of these winter worries and costly home emergencies. 

Hopefully, this year’s holiday season is a little more normal than last year’s. One of the ways we can enjoy it even more is by keeping our packages and deliveries safe from theft. Commercial Fire & Security can help, with home security technology that keeps your packages secure on Black Friday and beyond. 

For the second year in a row, kids and parents will celebrate Halloween more cautiously due to COVID. But that’s not the only public safety issue to be concerned with this Halloween. If you’re a homeowner in New York, you’ll want to do your part to keep your home and neighborhood safe from the vandalism and intrusion spikes that happen every Halloween. 

For many of us, fall is a time when we roll out the welcome mat: to kids, to parents, to weeknight dinner company and weekend movie nights. The relaxed vibe of summer is over, though, and it’s time to tighten up our home security habits as we welcome these visitors into our homes. Fortunately, we can do that without turning our friends away.

Keyless entry isn’t just for businesses. Homeowners can also experience the convenience of the smart lock, an intelligent replacement for conventional keys that has changed building security for more than 4 million consumers. If you opt to add a smart lock system to the front door of your home, here are more of the benefits you can experience. 

People have been using the basic lock and key system to protect their homes since the beginning of time. But times have changed, and the way we protect our homes from intruders should as well. The most advanced way to do this is with smart locks, a popular electronic replacement for physical keys. 

It’s finally permissible to travel again, and you’re all ready to go…or are you? It makes sense to be apprehensive after staying put for so long. Fortunately, your smart home security system has things covered at home while you’re away. Here’s what it can do.

Right now, many of us are still transitioning out of quarantine mode and doing our best to enjoy the slower pace of summer. But if going back to the workplace onsite is in your near future, now is the time to make sure all your ducks are in a row at home. If your security system is missing any of these smart home features, we recommend adding them before going back to work.

Summer is in full swing, and we all want to enjoy it to the fullest. In order to do that, we need to renew our annual commitments to summer safety. Review these summer safety guidelines and commit to using them this season.
