Of the many technologies available to homeowners, home smart security systems are one of the most in demand. It's great to have lights that transform at the touch of a button and shades that rise automatically at dawn, but knowing your family is safe supersedes those smart home benefits.

Thanks to smart technology, today's security systems have evolved dramatically. In addition to traditional security devices, such as surveillance cameras and motion sensors, they integrate smart door locks, automated lights, instant alerts, and two-way audio. No longer a reactive measure providing video images after a crime has occurred, they offer proactive security that can stop theft before it happens or keep young children from getting into out-of-bound areas.
