Securing Your World and Simplifying Your Life

When homeowners are asked about their number one reason for integrating smart technology, many answer it is to keep their home and family safe. This answer rings true for most. After all, what could be more important than your family's safety? 

So, how do smart residential security solutions support homeowners searching for enhanced protection? 

Smart security combined with home automation is the key to unrivaled peace of mind. Here, we'll explore how these two technologies combine and how they protect the things that matter the most in Springfield, MO.

Smart Security Cameras

Security cameras deter burglars by their very presence. Smart security cameras learn as they observe and send alerts when something unusual occurs. The mailman stopping by in the afternoon will not initiate a notification. A stranger walking up to your backdoor results in an immediate alert and a video clip sent to your smartphone, enabling you to take quick action. 

Smart Locks and Sensors

Our security experts at Atronic can program your system to respond to various issues automatically. For instance, when a security issue arises, such as a stranger on your property, we can program the system to react by immediately locking all the doors. 

These same locks let you know when a door opens and closes. A quick look at the live video security camera feed tells you if it's the dog walker stopping by or a possible intrusion. 

Automated Functions

An integrated home automation system enhances security in remarkable ways. Two-way audio lets you speak to a stranger on your property, letting them know you've spotted them. Remote access to smart lights allows you to flash interior and exterior lights, letting the neighbors know something unusual is occurring. This act is often enough to scare off any person intending harm. 

Should a window or door sensor note movement, your system can automatically go into protection mode, locking doors, flashing lights, and sounding an alarm or whistle.  

Presence Simulation

Law enforcement agencies nationwide recommend presence simulation as the number one proactive security measure. Essentially, it refers to setting up a system that makes it look like the home is occupied when, in actuality, no one is there. 

Today's home automation makes it easy to create this illusion. Pressing an 'Away' button by the door sets the simulation in motion. Specific lights in your home randomly turn on and off, just as when you're there. Motorized shades open and close in much the same way. We can also integrate a TV or audio system to include sound as a deterrent. 

Environmental Hazards

Your chances of facing an environmental hazard are much greater than an intrusion. To this end, we'll incorporate smart sensors that detect smoke, excess moisture, and toxins. Not only will they detect these hazards, but they'll also do something about it. For instance, if excess water is detected, the smart water valve shuts off the main water, limiting damage until you can determine the cause and a solution.
