Home Security

If you’re still using (and losing) house keys, it’s time to think about modernizing the way you access your home. That means upgrading your traditional doorknob to one that’s protected by a smart lock. With a smart lock, you can stop worrying about where you put your house keys, because you won’t need them anymore. Instead, you’ll enjoy the safety and convenience of managing access to your home from wherever you are.

Who remembers what life was like before we had caller ID? These days, most of us can’t imagine answering the phone without knowing who’s on the other end. Likewise, the same should be said for answering the door at home. If you don’t have a doorbell camera that shows you who’s paying you a visit, that’s like life before caller ID.  

Although “safe at home” is an important refrain right now, kids who are attending school remotely from home while parents are at work need extra help to be safer at home. Your home security devices, including your doorbell security camera, can provide that extra help. 

83 million American households have at least one smart home device, and that doesn’t just mean home management systems like Alexa and Echo. It also includes devices like doorbell security cameras.  With a smart doorbell camera device, you can achieve all kinds of vital home security measures. Here are four of them.

Even if the area around your front door is protected with a home security system and doorbell camera, the door itself needs extra fortification. Fortunately, there is a smart home security device that can provide this: a smart lock, which is a keyless entry device that not only turns your modest front door into a high-tech access point to the home, but also protects it like one.

Only a few decades ago, people thought we’d all be driving flying cars by the year 2020. That wasn’t meant to be, but we have plenty of technology to boast about nonetheless. Computers were just the tip of the iceberg; we now have our smartphones, tablets and virtual assistants as well, and most of us believe we couldn’t live without them. We rely on these intelligent devices to help us manage our schedules, our photos, our communication with others…and now, we can even use them to help us manage our homes. That’s what’s possible if you elect to have a smart home system, powered by artificial intelligence. 

Slowly but surely, our doorways are becoming busy places again; family members are starting to come and go more, friends are beginning to drop by, and many of us have grown accustomed to getting our meals delivered regularly. It can be great, but it can also leave the door open for home security risks: package theft, burglary and even home invasion. To greatly reduce these risks, you need something that can watch over your doorway 24/7 and put your mind at ease. 

Wouldn’t it be great to have one summer where your energy bills don’t cause panic? Every year, they seem to get higher – and with more families staying home this summer, they’re bound to be higher than ever. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be that way. When it comes to your home’s cooling system, you can have better cost control with the help of an energy-saving smart thermostat.

For many homeowners, the pressure-free days of summer are the highlight of the year. There’s more time to spend at home with family and friends, and the weather beckons everyone to enjoy the outdoors. But summer has its very specific safety challenges as well – even at home. By being aware of them, you can help your loved ones enjoy a safer summer this year. 

When it comes to smart home devices, some homeowners start off a bit anxious. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be that way. With a smart home service provider by your side, you can be a worry-free user from day one. Here are some of the ways we help you avoid smart home anxiety.
