How to Protect Your Home While on Vacation with Smart Tech

Automating Your Lighting

Standard timers are predictable, but smart bulbs and switches can mimic human behavior. By setting your interior lights to cycle through different rooms at varying times, you create a natural-looking pattern that deters potential intruders. For added security, pair these with a smart plug that operates a television or radio to add auditory signs of life.

Real-Time Monitoring

Leverage security cameras and smart sensors to stay connected to your home from anywhere. Place contact sensors on doors and windows to receive instant push notifications if there is unexpected movement. When combined with a video doorbell, you can interact with delivery drivers or service people, creating the illusion that someone is always available to handle the front door.
