in home security systems
You can also add up to 10
home security cameras inside or outside and up to 100 sensors and controllers throughout your home as you see fit. SkylinkNet is also compatible with other home automation devices, and they can all be controlled simply and efficiently from your smart phone via the SkylinkNet app. The GetSafe
system is a complete DIY wireless home security system. It is self contained, requiring no contracts or monthly subscriptions, although there is 24/7 nationwide professional monitoring available through the GetSafe website. In the vein of true DIY home security systems, setting up the GetSafe alarm system takes just minutes plug and play and requires no specialized tools because the sensors are wireless and can be mounted with 3M double sided tape. In addition to the GetSafe app which is compatible with iOS and android devices, this home security system includes a smart hub that communicates wirelessly with the sensors and sends system alerts to your smart phone, a siren of about 85 decibels that uses four AA batteries, an entry sensor that secures doors and windows after 3M double sided tape installation and is powered by a single AA battery, a motion detector that uses passive infrared technology to sense the body heat of an intruder but avoids pets under 40 pounds and also comes with 3M double sided tape for easy installation, and a cellular SIM card. In today’s world, it has become easier and, arguably, more necessary than ever to set up a smart home. This includes integrating your Things into a system that can easily and remotely be controlled…by you. Think cameras, alarms, speakers, door locks, lights, thermostats, vacuums, and even pet feeders. While the technology to do some, or all, of these things might feel overwhelming, DIY home security systems have taken center stage in designing systems that are made simple and relatively affordable. These smart systems tend to be custsomizable so that, no matter how many or how varied the smart devices you have, managing them is so easy that it’s almost intuitive.
Plus, abode has tons of integrations with Google Assistant, Amazon Echo, Nest, Philips Hue lightbulbs, ecobee, LIFX, Yale, Kwikset, Z wave, First Alert, and IFTTT, so you’ll be able to create home automations galore. Nest Secure is a great option for apartments for a few reasons. One, they offer month to month contracting, which is awesome because you might not be there forever especially if the dryers don’t get fixed soon— sorry, that’s just me projecting a little. Two, the installation is super easy and won’t require any drilling or hardwiring in your rented space, and three, you can choose to self monitor if you’d like. I also like that the Nest Secure system is super minimalist with only five components. In a smaller space, the last thing you want to be bogged down with is an extensive security system.
