Smart home technology makes empty properties look occupied
The goal is that your Columbus rental property will have a steady flow of renters, but that isn’t likely to always be the case. However, you need to make it seem that someone is home so your rental isn’t an easy mark for thieves. Installing home automation into your property’s security allows you to use smart light bulbs, motion detection equipment, and video cameras that make your rental seem occupied.
You can put your plan in motion by scheduling some lights to come on at specific hours of the day. You will also set your security app to warn you if your exterior cameras detect an intruder lurking around your perimeter or approaching your main entrance. You have the opportunity to employ the talk capability to make them aware that you can see them or program your lights to automatically come on when a camera or motion detection equipment uncovers suspicious activity.
Protect your Columbus rental property with 24/7 monitoring
Your occupants will have more peace of mind if they have protection from intruders, specifically when Columbus is unfamiliar territory. In the event a prowler attempts to invade your property, your home security system will not only initiate the alarm siren but will also ping your 24/7 monitoring professionals. Now, no matter where you are, assistance will be dispatched. Your monitoring specialists can even act as your point person and patch you in whenever you're available.
In addition to intrusions, your monitoring hub can be linked to fire alarms, flood sensors, and carbon monoxide sensors. It is likely to be upsetting for your guest if a water heater springs a leak or something catches fire. Not only will you be sent a cell phone notification that an urgent situation has occurred, but an agent can also coordinate help from emergency personnel while you're en route.
