Don’t Let an Empty Home Become an Invitation
Planning a vacation should be exciting, not stressful. But while you're relaxing on a beach or exploring the mountains, your unoccupied home can become a target for break-ins.
Fortunately, modern home security systems let you maintain a strong presence at home—without actually being there.
Smart Travel Features to Use:
- Vacation Mode Scheduling: Set lights and electronics to mimic daily routines, deterring criminals.
- Live Video Feeds: Check cameras from your phone at any time.
- Smart Door Locks: Give access to house sitters, pet sitters, or cleaning services with temporary codes.
- 24/7 Monitoring: Professional teams respond instantly if an alarm is triggered.
Plus, if you use an Alarm.com system, you can manage your whole home—from cameras and door locks to thermostats and garage doors—in one app.
