Why You Should Invest In Home Automation

Home invasions and burglaries in Calgary are on the rise and while these prospects may be worrying, there are a number of home security measures homeowners can take to protect their residence.

It is now more important than ever to consider how adding a wireless home security system can benefit you and your family’s personal safety as well as your property.

Products such as IP cameras and home automation systems can enhance the resale value of your house and lower your insurance costs, giving you peace of mind.

Top 5 Reasons to Invest in a Home Automation System

Installing a home security system can be costly but not installing one could end up costing you more. Here are the top reasons to invest in home automation or upgrade your existing home alarm system.

1. Protect your home and family from intruders

The most important reason to consider a comprehensive home security system is that it offers family members protection from break-ins.

Numerous crime studies indicate that IP surveillance cameras and alarm systems are the top deterrents for potential intruders. In fact, 60% of burglars indicate that the presence of a home security system would cause them to seek an alternative target altogether.

Increasing your home security with IP cameras, smoke detectors and alarms can, on average, reduce your home insurance by up to 20%.

Installing a home automation system in your home allows you to keep tabs on your children and pets while you are at work or traveling. If you install automatic door locks, you can even remotely unlock them to let your children in after school so you don’t have to worry about them losing the house keys.
