The Benefits of an Integrated, Smart Home Security Installation

Protecting Your Home from Intruders and Environmental Damages

Many people think of a home security installation as a fairly cut-and-dry process. Determine the best types of cameras for the property and where to place them, and you’re done. Today’s technology, however, has transformed home security far beyond the ordinary. 

This technology integrates automated lights, motorized shades, electronic door locks, and smart security sensors. It lets you know when your toddler is heading toward the pool. It keeps your home safe from environmental dangers, such as flooding. When integrated with a smart home operating system, it provides unparalleled peace of mind. Let’s explore the possibilities for your Sarasota, FL, home.

An Integrated, Secure Home

When all your smart devices work together, you experience unprecedented security. When someone walks onto your property, the cameras zoom in. Being smart, they know the difference between family and strangers. If the person is unrecognizable, the cameras immediately send an alert so you can determine if it’s a security event that requires attention. 

If the threat escalates, the interior and exterior lights start flashing, alerting neighbors that something is happening at your home. At the same time, the doors lock, and the TVs pull up the security camera feed. If anyone is home, they’ll be able to see where the attempted intrusion is occurring. 

Whether at dinner or on a tropical vacation, you can look at your security camera feed on a mobile device and see exactly what’s happening. 

Safe From Environmental Dangers

We’ll strategically place smart sensors throughout your home. These sensors detect changes in water levels, moisture, temperature, and indoor pollutants.

According to First Street, about 7,150 properties in Sarasota are at risk of flooding in the next 30 years. That number represents over 40% of all properties. Smart sensors help limit damage by sending you a push notification should they detect a change in temperature or rising water levels, allowing you to respond promptly. 

A Proactive Security Stance

At Wicked Smart Homes, we partner with Control4, the global leader in home automation systems. By integrating automated lighting and motorized window coverings into your security system, you can create the illusion that you’re home, even when you’re miles or a continent away. Called presence simulation, it’s one of the top security measures law enforcement recommends.

When you leave for an extended period, press the ‘Away’ button on an elegant keypad by the door. In response, your smart home locks the doors and arms the alarm. When you’re gone, it continues to perform, randomly turning the lights on and off and adjusting the shades, just like when you’re home. 

We can also incorporate TVs and audio systems to create the nearly undeniable impression that someone is home, incentivizing intruders to find another target.
