When you’re out and about, how do you monitor access to your office space, storage area(s), etc.? Having a few staff members you can trust with keys and codes will help, but that’s hardly a foolproof plan. Instead, have you thought about remote access?

Millions of Americans look forward to Halloween every year—and who can blame them? This holiday has it all: fun costumes, over-the-top decorations, and tons of candy! Still, half of the trick-or-treating tradition involves the key word “trick.” So, as you prepare to welcome guests this holiday season, make sure you also take the time to double-check your security. A Little Mood Lighting Sure, spooky lights and smoke machines set the tone for trick-or-treating, but they also create opportunities for vandalism. You can certainly add a little Halloween flair, as long as you keep your walkways illuminated. Any spotlights you have in place should remain operational, especially the motion-activated models. And if you don’t have any now, consider adding some before the holiday! Pay particular attention to the area around your garage and any dark corners on the property that could... Read more
September is a tricky time temperature-wise. Summer’s on its way out and fall’s just around the corner, so some days it feels like we’re alternating between the two seasons! Rather than let the weather wreak havoc with your home—not to mention your energy bills—consider adding an energy management system this month. How does it work? Our systems can easily integrate your thermostat, lights, and other energy uses into one accessible app. With a smart phone and/or internet access, you can control your devices and minimize your energy output! As long as you have a modern HVAC system in place (or you’re planning to upgrade soon), we can install our smart thermostat in place of a more traditional one. Plus, we’re happy to make recommendations for compatible LED lightbulbs as an added benefit to integration. Once everything’s in place, we can help you navigate the settings, so... Read more
Whether you’re preparing for your last trip of the summer—or your first—take a break from packing to ensure your home security before you leave. Thanks to smart technology, you can still be connected to your residence, even if you’re miles away. However, we know how easy it is to get overwhelmed right before you leave, so here’s our list of suggestions to keep your home safe while you’re on vacation. 1. Consider professional monitoring. Many of today’s security features offer you the option to self-monitor. With affordable security cameras, video doorbells, and more, you can watch what’s happening from anywhere in the world. The only problem with that is sometimes you actually want to unplug. If you’ve constantly got your phone in hand, worrying about what’s going on at home, how much fun are you going to have on vacation? Plus, you’re assuming you’re going to have internet access and...
