Imagine being able to completely relax on the beach or to steadily focus on enjoying the sights at your chosen destination, feeling safe because you know your home is protected by a vigilant virtual guard like a smart doorbell or security camera.
Being able to view your front door from anywhere in the world is a relief, but what if you want to take home monitoring a step further? Strategically placed security cameras can provide a wider field of view, covering other entry points such as side doors, backyards, or other parts of your property that you want to keep tabs on while you're traveling. Many offer similar features to smart doorbells, but having a smart camera with even more capabilities adds yet another layer of security.
Remote control: Pan, tilt, and zoom the camera remotely to get a closer look at specific areas, all from a dedicated smartphone app.
Smart lighting from favored brands such as Leviton or Lutron-Caseta, giving you the ability to control your lights remotely, adds more peace of mind to your vacation experience. Imagine these possibilities:
While you're investing in home security features, it's a great idea to consider upgrades that support your efforts. One simple and surprisingly impactful change can make a world of difference. Simply swapping out traditional light bulbs in favor of energy-efficient LEDs can usher in a host of perks. Their lower energy consumption means you're saving money on energy bills, whether you're at home or away. Because the lifespan of LED bulbs is so much greater than that of their incandescent counterparts, you also don't have to worry about burned-out bulbs foiling your long-distance monitoring plan. LED bulbs also emit minimal heat, which reduces the risk of fire hazards.
With a bit of planning and the power of smart home technology, you can pack peace of mind along with your swimsuit and sun block, turning your next vacation into a truly worry-free experience.
