Home automation makes available rentals look occupied
Of course, you hope that your Fort Collins rental property will be occupied, but that isn’t likely to always be possible. However, you should strive to give an impression that guests are there so your rental isn’t a potential target for prowlers. Incorporating a security system with home automation gives you the chance to take advantage of smart lighting, motion sensors, and video cameras that make your home look occupied.
Begin by scheduling your smart lights to come on at specified times of the day. You will also want your cell phone app to notify you if your video cameras notice someone prowling around your perimeter or coming to your main entrance. You have the opportunity to employ the talk feature so they know you can see them or program your lights to automatically come on when a camera or motion detection equipment uncovers something unusual.
Protect your Fort Collins Airbnb with 24-hour monitoring
Your tenants will be more relaxed if they feel protected from criminals, especially when Fort Collins is somewhat unfamiliar. In the event a thief attempts to break in, your home security system will not only sound a siren but will also notify your around-the-clock monitoring team. Now, no matter where you are, help will be forthcoming. Your monitoring experts will even act as your point person and loop you in as soon as you're able.
Along with home invasions, your monitoring center can link to fire alarms, flood detectors, and carbon monoxide sensors. It would be understandably upsetting for your guest if a water heater springs a leak or a fire erupts. You will then receive a smartphone notification that a potentially dangerous event has taken place, but the monitoring agent can also authorize emergency services while you're in transit.
