Imagine being able to set your thermostat, turn on lights, watch live video footage of your home, and check to make sure you really did close the garage door this morning — all from your workplace or the beach! You can do all this and more with a Smart Home Plan. A Smart Home Plan doesn’t just provide quality security — it gives you complete control over your home, saving you time and money.
Save Time
Smart Home Plans provide peace of mind and convenience, no matter where you are. Strategically placed video cameras will let you know exactly when your kids arrive home from school while you’re at work, or help you keep an eye on your property while you’re on summer vacation.
You can easily arm and disarm your home through a convenient Smart Home Plan app. Need to let the neighbor in to water the plants while you’re on vacation? Unlock the door for them while you’re sunning on the beach, then lock everything back up after they leave. No more making copies of keys or trying to remember where you last put the “hide-a-key.”
A Smart Home Plan includes an intuitive tracking system, so you get only the footage you need. An intuitive tracking system uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, which will track behaviors instead of just running footage of main entry points. For instance, it won’t notify you that the mail carrier is at your home, but it will alert you if someone is prowling the perimeter of your property at 2am. This provides the best protection for you while saving you precious time you’d use to review useless footage.
Save Money
Get a Smart Home Plan, and watch the savings add up. A Smart Home Plan allows you to program your thermostat and lights. Your heating and air won’t run needlessly high or low when there’s no one home, and if you happen to have a child (or — ahem — an adult) in your house who’s always forgetting to turn off the lights, your smart home can do it for them.
A home security system will also earn you a discount on your homeowner’s insurance, and it can even lessen the cost of burglary losses. According to the Electronic Security Association, the average loss incurred during a break-in is about $5,343 without a security system. For homes with security systems, the loss averages about $3,266 — a 39 percent difference.
Be Safer
But having a Smart Home Plan means that your odds are greater for not experiencing a burglary at all. A survey in 2012 found that 60% of thieves say they’d avoid robbing a home and move on to an easier target if they knew it had a security system. If they didn't discover the system until after they’d broken in, 50% say they’d give up on their attempt at that point.
