According to a recent AAA Smart Home Security survey* of U.S. homeowners, the majority take precautions to protect their homes when traveling, such as notifying a neighbor that they will be gone. Yet this may not be enough to ensure your peace of mind. Whether or not you plan on traveling this summer, follow these home security tips to ensure your home is protected this sunny season.
Tip #1: Use Smart Devices
One-third (33 percent) of homeowners say they pay closer attention to alerts on their phone when they travel. Smart devices notify you when important things happen at home, such as someone coming onto your property, the garage door opening, or when a much-anticipated package arrives early at your front door.
Smart devices offer peace of mind with video monitoring inside and outside, as well as control over your thermostat, door locks, and garage all with a mobile app. Homeowners can add professional monitoring to enhance their protection.
Tip #2: Find The Right Security For Your Home and Budget
Two out of five homeowners (40 percent) say they don’t have home security devices because they think it’s too expensive. But there are ways to find security solutions that fit your budget and your needs. Homeowners can avoid long-term contracts by looking for systems with flexible solutions and product options. This way, you won’t have to pay for anything you don’t want or need, and have the option to cancel at any time.
AAA Smart Home Security has something for everyone, from a comprehensive system that is professionally installed and monitored 24 hours a day to self-installation and self-management using video cameras and the Smart Home Security app. You don’t have to be a AAA Member to get AAA Smart Home Security, but Members enjoy exclusive savings.
Tip #3: Don’t Skimp on Product or Service Quality
Even the most tech-savvy homeowners may have difficulty installing a home security system. 70 percent of homeowners say they have experienced technical difficulty using devices they installed and monitor themselves. Homeowners may not be aware of or have the time to research the differences in encryption but that added security helps AAA Smart Home Security stand out.
With AAA Smart Home Security, you have the option of installing the system yourself or having a trained professional do it for you; either way, you’ll get the support and service you need. Plus, every device is protected by advanced encryption, and all security sensors from AAA Smart Home Security use PowerG encryption which has five layers of protection for maximum protection against the system being compromised.
