Share This
If you're like most people, your vacation home is a place where you can truly relax. You've worked hard all year and deserve to be able to kick back and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
But if your vacation home isn't secure, you could be putting yourself at risk for theft or other crimes—and that's not what vacations are supposed to be about!
In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of vacation home security and discuss some easy ways you can make sure your vacation home is as safe as it can be.

Have Eyes On Your Vacation Home Around The Clock
It's wise to have a second pair of eyes on your home when you're not there, whether you pay a local resident to check in regularly or hire someone from a management company.
In many cases though, these companies only discover break-ins or burst pipes after it's too late.
A smart home security system, on the other hand, can provide round-the-clock protection with proactive safeguards. Sensors throughout your property will detect activity—and then alert you to potential trouble so that you can act before any damage stacks up.
Our security systems are monitored 24/7 by professionals, so if a burglar breaks into your home it can quickly alert a monitoring station and dispatch local law enforcement officers to deal with the intruder.
Total home protection means customized, professionally installed security and a home that works intuitively to keep you safe.

- Motorized Shades & Blinds
- Private Voice Control

Check In On Your Vacation Home At Any Time, From Anywhere
With our Alarm.com solution, you'll have access to an intuitive smart home security app, so you can check in on your vacation home even when you're not there—and rest assured that it is safe and secure.
A quick glance at your app can show you that your vacation home's doors and windows are secure, as well as whether the heating is working properly.
If something seems wrong—like the security system not being armed when it should be—you can easily fix the problem from your smart device.
If your system includes security cameras or a video doorbell, you can open a live stream from the property to check what's happening—or just enjoy the view.
Access Control Adds A Whole New Layer Of Convenience
If you're considering renting your property to vacationers by the week, smart home security is a must-have.
Smart locks allow you to get rid of keys, assigning a four-digit code instead. With this system, guests (or property managers or cleaners) can open the door when they know the code.
User codes are easy to assign and delete. You can create codes that expire at a certain time, or simply delete them manually—and you can give trusted visitors permanent access with their own personal code. With access alerts, you will always know who's coming and going.
