The great thing about smart home security is that it is something you can handle when you&rsquo;re away from home. You could even be all the way across the country, but as long as your phone is connected to the internet, you&rsquo;ll still be able to tune in and make sure everything is going A-OK on the home front.
Whether it&rsquo;s cameras, smart locks, or other smart devices, you&rsquo;ll be able to remotely observe and take care of your home as if you were sitting on your couch.

<h2 dir="ltr">Save Money and Mind</h2>

Whether or not you are aiming to save money, smart home security tends to be a priceless option for keeping your family safe.
Of course, initially, a smart security system could be a bit intimidating price-wise, over time you&rsquo;ll find that this one-time investment pays for itself. There are options to pay a professional to keep an eye on your home, but the speed of smart technology makes monitoring pretty easy to do all on your own.
From keeping your belongings and your family safe, you&rsquo;ll discover that you&rsquo;ll be saving a lot more than money with one of these security systems.

<h2 dir="ltr">Customize and Connect</h2>
<img src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/iStock-1142153206.jpg?w=700" />
In the world of technology, everything is usually able to be connected and customized just the way you want it. For example, Alexa has the ability to integrate with just about every smart home security system. So if you&rsquo;re cooking and your home gets a bit smoky, your Nest Alarm will sound, notify Alexa, and can make the&nbsp; Phillips Hue lights flash as an extra warning.&nbsp;
The connections and customizations are endless and give you a chance to be completely unique -- and feel safe and secure at the same time. 
&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re searching for an easy and secure way to have peace of mind while away from home, smart home security is a great option. Contact us and we&rsquo;ll make sure to answer all your questions about how integrating this kind of system can improve your life.

<h1>1. Tiny Technology </h1>

<h1>3. Outdoor Adventures</h1>
Custom integration allows customers and home owners to think outside the norm, to think outside the box, and for some, to even think outside the house. All the way outside the house, to the literal outside.
This award-winning home has a <a href="https://www.electronichouse.com/home-of-the-week/outdoor-space-delivers-all-weather-entertainment-and-slick-home-automation-features/">Crestron-powered retractable canopy, </a>&nbsp;and make sure you don&rsquo;t miss the 130&rdquo; TV.

His house automatically adjusts temperature for his arrival, and also starts sending out cedarwood and cinnamon scents. Depending on the time of day, it will either start pouring espresso or playing music.
Awesome. Totally, automatically, awesome.


<h1>5. Motorized Movement</h1>
It&rsquo;s a trope at this point: The fancy mansion with the moving bookcases, hidden corridors, and secret passageways. And to most people, these probably are just a constructed fantasy, a part of the imagination they&rsquo;ll never be able to access in real life.
