Create the Illusion of Occupancy
Do you know which homes are the least likely to be targeted by intruders? Homes that are occupied, of course! While you can't stay in your property 24/7, lighting control solutions can help you make your home seem occupied, even when it's not. With automated schedules and remote control, you can manage when your lights turn on and off, mimicking your daily routine. No more going on vacation for weeks on end worried about your property!
Integrate It with Home Security Systems
Creating a unified defense mechanism by integrating your home security with smart lighting. This allows your lights to work in tandem with motion sensors, alarms, and security cameras to provide a comprehensive security solution. For example, if motion is detected outside your home during the night, your exterior lights can automatically turn on, startling the intruder and drawing attention to the area.
Smart Lighting Scenes for Emergency Situations
In the event of an emergency, every second counts. Lighting control systems can be pre-programmed with specific scenes to activate during a security breach. For instance, you can create a "panic mode" that turns on all interior and exterior lights at full brightness when triggered by an alarm or a designated button on your app. These scenes can be customized to fit your specific needs, whether that means lighting up only certain areas or flashing lights in a particular pattern.
Lighting control is more than just a tool for convenience and efficiency—it is a vital component of a comprehensive home security strategy. Contact FE Smart Home today to explore all the ways our solutions transform your lifestyle!
