As many people agree, protecting your home means protecting yourself and your family as well as your investment. That’s why lots of folks are looking to get some kind of home security—to create peace of mind. However, most people also don’t want to break the bank to do it. At Treasure Coast Window Fashions serving Port Saint Lucie, we have some thoughts about ways to update home security pretty easily. Read on to learn more!
Smart Home Solutions
Alongside all of the evolutions in smart home systems, one advancement is in home security. A number of smart systems are customizable and DIY-friendly, so most homeowners are able to set up the sensors and cameras on their own. There’s always the time-honored security systems that are set up and monitored remotely by a company; you might find that to be ideal. In this blog, we’re discussing some of the ways you can impact your home by yourself. For example:
- Doorbell Cams. Being able to record what’s happening on your front porch can help you feel better about overall safety. Like a number of folks already, you can get evidence against porch pirates or would-be invaders, and you can monitor unexpected activity.
- Smart Home Options. Just a quick search will show you a vast number of products you can pair with Alexa or Google Home. Many of them offer remote capabilities, so look for one that offers a phone app, which will let you arm and disarm the system and get notifications right on your device.
- In-Home Sensors. Don’t forget about the interior factors to protect against. Some security systems also offer add-on smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well as sensors that detect water leaks and freezing temperatures that could hurt your pipes.
Security Through Windows
It might feel counterintuitive, but truly, your windows can also help with home security—if they’re adequately covered and particularly if those window coverings have the right operating system. With most Hunter Douglas products, you can opt for PowerView® Automation as the lift system. PowerView offers the convenience of remote programmability, as well as in-real-time remote adjustments. Plus, you can preset your window treatments to open and close based on your schedule, so you never have to think about it at all. All of these things can make it seem like someone is home when you’re away, which can deter anyone who might otherwise try to break in. Be sure to contact one of our consultants for more information!
