Given the extraordinary circumstances of the past few months, it’s natural to feel a heightened sense of anxiety. In uncertain times, the world may feel less secure. But we have some good news. If you are concerned about the security of your home and family, the latest technology can go a long way to alleviating your concerns.

If you’re stuck with a security system installed ten or even five years ago in your Dallas, TX home, you're missing out on a wide array of innovation in home security. Older security systems tend to be reactive versus proactive - they tell you something that happened after the fact. You might know a sensor for a door or window was tripped, but you don’t know how or why.

Let’s explore some of the latest security options for greater peace of mind to know your family and home are protected.

Smart Locks

Smart locks have advanced significantly in the past few years. One simple way they can enhance security is by going keyless. If you copy a key for someone, there's no way to know if it has been copied. Rekeying locks is also a tedious and expensive proposition. Smart locks can operate with codes and secure smartphone access, which can be revoked at any time. If you need to grant access to your home for service when you're not there, you can do so temporarily. You can also let someone in remotely from anywhere with just your smartphone.

Technology should simplify your life, not complicate it. Smart home automation has become increasingly popular because of its ability to do just that. A smart home automation system places all your technology under one umbrella, allowing for more efficient and intuitive control. With the swipe of a finger or voice command, your home responds to your every need.

Here are just some of the ways smart home automation will improve your home in Dallas, TX.

Add Convenience

The most apparent benefit to home automation is convenience. There are endless possibilities to make your life easier. Close all of the shades in your house and turn off all the lights with the simple touch of a button. Create a scene so that with one touch, you can lower the temperature, close the blinds, turn down the lights, and start your movie. Have your thermostat heat up the house right before you get home, so you aren't freezing, and you don't have to run the heat all day. Install motion sensors in your hallway so that when you get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, you don't have to worry about falling. Smart home automation was created to make your life easier and is worth the investment.
