Is Your Home Really Safe?: Safeguarding Your Home with Smart Home Security

Imagine a world where you can sleep peacefully at night, knowing that your home and loved ones are safe and secure, regardless of your location. In today’s uncertain times, the value of peace of mind cannot be overstated. Safeguarding what matters most has become an essential priority. Step into the future of home security and explore how smart home security systems are transforming the way we protect our homes and the people within them.

Unlocking the Advantages of Smart Home Security: Strengthening Home Protection

In a world where innovation is reshaping every aspect of our lives, relying solely on traditional security measures can leave us vulnerable to emerging threats. While traditional methods have their merits, they can often fall short of meeting the evolving needs of homeowners seeking comprehensive protection of their homes and loved ones. 

Smart home security systems address the limitations of conventional measures, illuminating the blind spots and filling gaps in security coverage. These systems seamlessly integrate innovative home security technology and intelligent automation, allowing homeowners to capture all of the crucial details and identify potential risks in real-time. With advanced features like motion sensors, door strikes, glass-break detectors, and remote access, smart home security systems provide convenient, proactive protection.

A Comprehensive Approach: Best Practices in Smart Home Security

Envision a home where motorized blinds automatically lower themselves when you activate your security system, effectively deterring potential intruders and preserving your privacy. Strategically placed glass break detectors instantly detect signs of forced entry in vulnerable areas, providing an added layer of security.

Imagine a front door equipped with a strike location, allowing you to lock and unlock it effortlessly from your smartphone. A smart doorbell notifies you of visitors, while an overhead camera keeps a vigilant watch on your front porch, capturing every movement and providing a clear visual record. 

Security can also extend beyond the convenience of letting the right people in and the ability to keep the wrong people out. Smart home security systems offer advanced features to address various safety concerns.

Heat detectors in the kitchen intelligently differentiate between normal cooking activities and true emergencies, minimizing false alarms, while ensuring swift response in the case of a genuine fire hazard. Integrated low-voltage smoke detectors seamlessly connect to the fire system, triggering immediate alerts and summoning authorities when needed. Biometric authentication adds an extra layer of protection for areas requiring heightened security, ensuring access is granted only to authorized individuals. Pool sensors provide an added safety measure, promptly notifying you if someone enters the pool area, especially crucial when children are present.

Seamless Integration with Home Automation

A key advantage of smart home security systems lies in their seamless integration with other smart home devices and automation features. Through scheduled lighting and simulated presence, your home appears occupied even when you’re away, deterring potential intruders. Automation enables you to manage and monitor your security system remotely, providing convenience and control at your fingertips.

Your home is your sanctuary – a place where you should always feel safe and protected. This comprehensive approach to home security allows you to rest easy, knowing that your home and loved ones are safeguarded at all times.

CREATE YOUR SMART HOME BUDGET

*The calculated home technology budget range you will receive will includes parts, labor & accessories (Tax not included)
(a round number is OK)
Numerous structures on the property: Dock, Casita, Guest House, Barn, Gate etc. Check all that apply.
Prewire installation calculations assume you would like your home fully wired for ALL home automation technologies shown throughout the budget calculator, including 'future-ready' wiring. Prewire pricing can vary substantially based on what features you would like in your home. The wiring budget is for low-voltage wiring, not for electrical.
Prewire pricing will vary based on exactly what features you would like in your home. Read this article about the importance of wiring/cabling in today's "wireless" world. Your local Smarter Homes integrator is the best resource for exact prewire pricing. Wiring budget is for low-voltage wiring only, not electrical.
Keep in mind that our modern lifestyle and our home's automation technology systems are extremely reliant on a quality network and Wi-Fi system. Most homes are moving towards enterprise-grade hardware and away from the types of network products you could buy in an office supply store or a consumer computer store. We recommend that all homeowners consider the network and Wi-Fi system to be the most important system and installation within the home.
Higher-quality sound or higher-grade architectural finished speakers can range from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 PER ROOM
Basic background music system pricing ranges from $1,500.00 to $5,000.00 per room including all equipment, labor, and programming.
Range includes video sources such as AppleTV, a Blu-ray player, satellite receiver, and remotely-locating them for best aesthetics. A basic soundbar is included for better audio.
This is called “video distribution” and reduces the amount of audio/video equipment located at each TV location/room.
A surround sound system creates an immersive sound experience, much like a dedicated home theater room, though in a dual-purpose room such as a Family Room, Master Bedroom, etc. If you would like more than one surround system location, click on the "Add Another Surround System" button below
Typically, homeowners want to see the following areas: front of house, front door, driveway / gate, sides of house, and pool. If you are more concerned about security, you may want to add cameras for the perimeter of your property. Good-quality cameras see about 75 feet of distance on average. The high range of the budget estimate includes higher resolution cameras, better night vision, and longer surveillance recording time.
The installation of a lighting control system reduces wall clutter, allows preset lighting scenes at the push of a button, increases security through programming automation, and adds convenience.
Motorized shades add beauty, convenience, address privacy concerns, and can be used to save energy. If desired, provide your best guess on how many windows/shades you want to motorize. The higher-end of the budget range includes higher-end fabrics, large windows, and dual-roller shades (both sheer and privacy shades on one window).
For example, a house music app, an app to operate your TV, an app for lighting automation, an app for locks, an app for cameras, an app to open close garage doors & gates, etc. Or do you want to control the entire house through a single unified app that controls all the automation systems within the home?
Make your home feel larger by balancing the light between indoor and outdoor areas.
