This Holiday Season, Make Sure Your Home Is Protected
Guard Your House Against Porch Pirates and Burglars with These Smart Security Solutions
It’s the most wonderful time of year – but it also presents its own stresses. If you’re expecting many packages to arrive at your front door, what do you do if you’re out all day? And if you’re visiting loved ones out of town, will anyone take notice if your house is dark and vacant for several days?
There are enough things to think about during the holiday season. You can worry less about your home’s privacy and safety when you own a smart security system. In this blog, we’ll share technology tactics that can protect your Frisco, TX house. And if you’d like to install a smart security system today, contact Texadia Systems to get started.

Alerts for What’s Important
You’ve likely heard of security cameras that send notifications to your phone or computer when they detect activity. This is helpful, but if you’re overloaded with messages, you might eventually tune them out. But then you risk missing something critical – like a stranger idling in your driveway.
Video analytics take the guesswork and false alarms out of security notifications. AI programming learns to recognize your family’s face and won’t notify you when you yourself walk in the door. It can tell the difference between animals, people, cars, and objects. If you’d like alerts when packages are delivered but not when the neighbor’s cat walks by, video analytics has you covered.
Ensure Safe Deliveries
This is a notoriously popular time of year for package thieves. But when your security system includes a doorbell camera, smart locks, and a two-way intercom, you can communicate with a mail carrier upon their arrival. Ask if they can place the box in the foyer and remotely open the door for them. Then, once they’ve driven away, you can lock the door again.
Mimic a Full House with “Mockupancy”
Traveling can leave your house vulnerable and your head full of worries. But with a unified smart system, you’ll automate lights to turn on and off throughout the day, including landscape lights, so it looks like someone is always home. Motorized shades may be programmed to open and close, too, so it seems like there’s activity inside, even when you’re out of town.
