Smoke Detector
Of course, you know you can use the voice option with Alexa and other home automation systems to control your equipment. But some security systems
also have a handsfree feature that will work with your mobile device or a key fob to detect when you are within range of your system. And when you are within that range, it will automatically unlock your door and disarm your security system for you, handsfree. So if this is a convenience factor you’d like to have, then yes, you do need to look for a system that has handsfree options. Geotracking works similar to the handsfree feature. When geotracking is included with your home security system, it works with the GPS feature on your smartphone, as long as you have the location services enabled. This feature will detect your location as long as you have your phone with you and you can preset rules as to how you
want to use that feature. You can lock/unlock your door, arm/disarm your security system, turn your lights on or off, set the preferred temperature on your thermostat so it’s comfortable when you arrive. You can even preset it to close your garage door if you forget and it will do so once you’ve traveled beyond a certain range. You will probably want good security cameras and/or doorbell cameras so you can see who’s coming and going, as well as what’s happening in and around your home at all times. You might also want the panic button and the two way talk feature so your family can instantly call for help when needed.

You might also want the panic button and the two way talk feature so your family can instantly call for help when needed. Window and door sensors and equipment that offers a cellular backup option so you don’t have to worry about the loss of security if any lines are cut or you lose power. Perhaps some environmental sensors to protect you and your family from fire or water intrusion events. And, of course, the convenience of home automation features so you can control and manage your home handsfree and/or remotely. If you are a renter, your
needs will be a bit different. For example, you will probably need a portable security system. A portable system is one that is wireless and
usually a DIY installation. This will keep you from having to drill holes in your landlord’s walls, which could cost you in repair damages when you move out. Additionally, you will only need indoor cameras versus outdoor and doorbell cameras in most cases. You might also consider window and door sensors, environmental sensors for smoke and water intrusion, a control panel with a panic button and two way talk feature, and any home automation equipment you choose. If you travel often, your needs will focus more on being able to remotely access, monitor, and control your home security and home automation features.

In a recent CNET story, Ry
Crist wrote: "By offering that monitoring to others, ADT capitalizes on its successful service side, while also strengthening the security offerings and easing the burden of a service overhead from any hardware partner that wants in. That's a savvy move by ADT, and not one we expected. " A solid company that adjusts to a changing marketplace is one that is more likely to stick around and offer additional services that you may want in the future. Home security technology continues to rapidly advance. And savvy burglars will try to keep up with that by circumventing alarm systems. However, carbon monoxide detection, fire alarms, the ability to turn your lights on and off, knowing when your kids
come home when you're at work all of these monitoring services are attractive to consumers who want to protect their assets and have peace of mind. For this alone, a home security system is worth considering. If it's a budgetary decision, weigh the pros and cons: A basic monitoring service might not justify the cost if you're not getting carbon monoxide monitoring or remote access to your electronics. But if you have the money, an all inclusive monitoring plan might be just the ticket to put you at ease when you're away from your home. A smart home is really an automated home. It lets you connect and program the right smart devices, smart appliances and smart gadgets so they serve your needs.
