Going Beyond an Alarm System to Keep Your Tennessee Home Protected

As the premier security and surveillance company serving Lebanon and the surrounding areas, we know how important it is for homeowners to keep their property protected. Most homeowners want an alarm system installed to notify the authorities in case of a breach, but there are other smart security solutions available that can tie into your home automation and control system to add an additional layer of protection.

Read on below to learn three ways you can use your Control4 system to improve the security of your Tennessee home, then chat with us at the bottom of your screen if you have any questions.

Smart Locks

Have you ever been on the way to work and suddenly get hit with a pang of anxiety? Did you lock the door on your way out or leave the garage open? By including smart locks in your Control4 system, you can check on the status of doors and locks with a glance at your smartphone. Locked and unlocked statuses will show, and you can correct any locks you overlooked on your way out the door. You can even double-check your surveillance cameras for extra anxiety reduction to visually ensure that you did, in fact, lower the garage door. Whew!

Creating a “Goodnight” smart scene goes a step further in keeping your entire property safe, too. With just a tap, you can lower motorized shades for privacy, arm the alarm system, lock all smart locks, and turn off interior lighting.

Video Doorbells

With the Intercom Anywhere feature, you can view whoever – or whatever – is on your porch or front gate. You could be halfway across the globe or simply sitting on your back patio. With Control4’s video doorbell stations, you’ll be able to see and communicate with delivery drivers, utility service people, dog walkers, and more. If anyone needs access to your home, you can remotely disarm your alarm system and unlock the smart lock to let them inside, then reverse those steps as they leave.

Mockupancy

Potential burglars are more likely to commit crimes of convenience by taking advantage of empty homes and unlocked doors. Don’t let your Lebanon home be an easy target when you’re away for work or on vacation. The Mockupancy functionality from Control4 makes your home protect itself while you’re gone. Electronics, shades, and lighting are programmed to turn on and off at specified times or randomly, so your home appears occupied. A home that looks occupied is less of a target than a home with no lights on in the evening or had the shades closed all day.
