The Benefits of Smart Home Security Systems
May 18, 2022
It can be devastating when your home is targeted, having your hard-earned possessions rifled through and taken. Investing in smart home security systems can be integral to help protect what matters most, as it acts as a visual deterrent for opportunistic thieves and therefore helps to put your mind at ease. A report by TheEcoExperts has shown that burglary rates are lower among households with at least one security measure in place, whether that be a burglar alarm, Wi-Fi camera or a smart lock.
With the Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm range, you can check-in on the status of your alarm from anywhere in the world and receive real-time notifications. The handy geolocation feature on the
Sync Smart Home Alarm reminds you to set the alarm when you leave home, giving you one less thing to worry about. Another added bonus is that they’re completely wire-free, eliminating the
need for cables all throughout your home. This means that you have the flexibility to take your home alarm system with you, if ever you move. You can seamlessly integrate your smart home alarm system with other products in the range, such as the Conexis L1 and Keyless Connected Smart Lock through the use of the Yale Sync Module, creating the perfect pairing between the two systems. This means you can automatically arm or disarm your alarm by simply locking or unlocking your smart door lock.
A home alarm with external siren is one of the most common home security systems out there, providing effective protection for your home at a reasonable price. These alarms work by generating a loud, piercing siren sound in the event of activation. When activated, the bell box also tends to emit flashing lights to attract even more attention to your property. But what if we told you that you can take your home alarm to the next level? The Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm comes with a 94dB internal siren, a 104dB external siren and sends real-time notifications to your smartphone.
You can also integrate your Philips Hue lighting with your Yale smart alarm system, giving you the power of both a visual and audible deterrent. In the event of an alarm activation, the Philips Hue lights will flash red, working to startle the intruder as well as alerting neighbouring properties and passers-by of a disturbance. Philips Hue lighting also works with the Linus Smart Lock, which allows your lights to respond directly to your smart lock. Through geo-fencing, the Linus knows when you have returned home and can automatically unlock your front door, turning your lights on at the same time.
It’s good to know that Yale smart home security systems are now virtual assistant certified, meaning that the Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm and Smart Door Lock range work with leading voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. You can ask your virtual assistant to fully arm your home, part-arm areas or give you a status update of your home security.
The more you spend on increasing your security, the lower your insurance premiums will be as insurers will see the reduced risk of claims being made out against the property. In fact, you could potentially save between 2-10% when you upgrade your home security systems. Certain insurers may even be willing to offer you higher savings, hence why it’s important that you shop around.Leading home insurance provider, Locket Insurance, has recently partnered with Yale to give those who invest in smart security products a fairer price for putting preventative measures in place, as part of the Locket Insiders Programme.
