In the current housing market, it is increasingly expected that homes that have been placed up for sale will have smart home features and smart home products such as smart locks, smart thermostats, smart lights, etc. The simple act of having these products available will increase the value of the home. Furthermore, a Smart Home Security System alone (even with no other smart products) will attract buyers by itself. This is because having the system already installed before moving in is worth it to potential homeowners as they will not need to worry about installation themselves. This can drive up the price of the house.

As a result of a Smart Home Security System you can monitor more than just your house – and you don’t have to be present at home to do so. With sensors and security cameras strategically placed throughout your property, for example, you can keep an eye on your home 24/7. This enables you to be more confident in your ability to keep your loved ones safe and secure. In addition, other features of the Smart Home Security System can make your life easier. For example, you can monitor a babysitter, be alerted when your children arrive home from school, or keep an eye on your pets when not at home.

For the most part traditional security systems are reactive. They inform you after something occurs or while it is in progress. The Smart Home Security System, however, is proactive – enabling you to react to a situation before it becomes an issue. This means, for example, that you will be alerted if a door is left unlocked or open, allowing you to close it and prevent uninvited guests from entering. Or, if your toddler exits their bed and attempts to leave the house in the middle of the night, motion sensors with be triggered, and an alert will be sent to you, allowing you to react to it and prevent a tragic accident.

The Smart Home Security System and additional smart products are designed to be energy efficient and to enable you to save money on your energy bills. This is because products like smart thermostats, smart lights, etc. are designed to be turned on and off on a schedule or remotely – cutting down the amount of energy expended if you forget to turn the lights off, for example. In addition, as an added benefit, the cost savings extend beyond energy as you will be able to pay a decreased price for home insurance as well. The savings are out there!

Due to the technological advancements of smart technologies it is possible to interact with many things in your house without having to be physically present. You could turn lights on or off, turn of any appliances that have been left on, or let a friend in the front door before you arrive home. The possibilities are nearly endless!
