We all like to think of our homes as a safe haven. Did you know smart home technology has much to offer in terms of safeguarding your home and family? Automated lighting and shades can be controlled with your iPhone, monitored fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors warn us of impending danger, and intelligent surveillance cameras keep an eye on your home when you are away. Given the time and age we live in, it is a wise idea to invest in building yourself a smart home system. Smart home products provide exceptional security solutions, which will make you and your family feel more in control of your environment. There is a multitude of innovative ways in which smart home products can help improve your home’s safety. Here is a quick look at some of the popular smart home safety and security systems:

1. Intelligent Lighting - Lutron lighting control gives you a superior level of control over the lighting conditions in your home. Integrated weather and occupancy sensors can be set to automatically dim or turn off lights when outdoor light levels fall or when a room registers as unoccupied. You can also use an app on your phone or tablet to operate all of the lights both inside and outside your home. Wicked Smart Homes provides a “Vacation” scene that enables automated lighting to turn on or off at various times as an added layer of security.
2. Motorized Shades - Motorized shades allow you to raise and lower your shades & blinds with the simple touch of the button or via an automated scheduling. This is ideal for a variety of reasons, including: saving money by reducing energy costs, making a home look occupied when you are away, and immediately increasing privacy with the push of a button.
3. Home Security & Surveillance - A key component for any smart home is security and surveillance systems, which are designed to easily increase your family's safety via smart device monitoring. Incorporate a range of smart options like IP surveillance cameras with analytics, smart door locks, video doorbells, and remote access connections. These devices allow you to monitor any comings and goings on your property no matter where you are in the world.
4. Smart Home Automation & Remote Home Management - A smart home automation and remote home management system is how you bring all the above and more together in one simple package. Integrate these safety & security features, and much more, like leak detection, main water valve shut off, and monitored smoke & heat detection into one easy-to-use and accessible system.
