The Ultimate Security: Smart Home Automation

Of all the smart technologies available for homes, one of the most popular is intelligent security. A far cry from its predecessor, it learns, analyzes, and sends alerts when something is amiss. When combined with home automation, it offers the most comprehensive security available. 

Lights, shades, door locks, and audio-video equipment provide automated responses. Touchscreens in every room let you connect with family members should an emergency arise. Outside of protecting your home and family, these systems offer unprecedented convenience and enjoyment.

Here, we'll explore how these two systems combine and the benefits they bring to homeowners in Jacksonville, FL.

Peace of Mind

As humans, we tend to rush through life. We run out the door in the morning to get the kids to school on time or get to work for that all-important first meeting. In the process, we forget to lower the shades, adjust the thermostat, lock all the doors, and set the alarm. 

Home automation enables you to do all these things right from your smartphone, no matter where you are in the world. You can receive alerts when someone opens the door, when the kids get home from school, and when movement is detected by the side gate. Then, immediately pull up the live camera feed to see what's transpiring. 

No matter where you wander, your home comes with you.

Instant Communication

At Atlantic Security, we partner with Control4, the leader in home automation. Their Intercom Anywhere system lets you monitor and communicate with every room in your home via touchscreens and your smartphone. Crystal-clear audio and HD video let you see and hear in precise detail. 

When someone rings the doorbell, the video displays on your touchscreen and smartphone. Whether home or away, you can speak to the person through two-way audio, unlock the door, and turn on the patio and entryway lights. Is the babysitter not answering her phone? Use your smartphone to dial in and instantly connect to any room via touchscreens.

Keeping Loved Ones Safe

Most of the time, the dangers confronting our families are not human in nature but environmental. Dangers such as flooding, fire, and toxicity have a much greater chance of affecting our lives. Smart home sensors let you know when these environmental threats occur and then do something about it.

If increasing moisture is detected, you'll receive an alert, and your smart home will turn the main water valve off. If carbon monoxide is detected, it triggers the motorized windows to open. If fire or smoke is apparent, your smart home triggers the alarm and lets you know exactly where it's located. Lights turn on to provide a safe passage outdoors, and the doors unlock to enable first responders to enter your home quickly.

Today, there are nearly limitless ways to protect what matters most. At Atlantic Security, we've supported homeowners and their families searching for the best security available for decades.
