In today's fast-paced, tech-driven world, the evolution of home security systems is nothing short of extraordinary. With the advent of Geo-Fencing, we are ushering in a new era where smart home integration and home security seamlessly merge to offer unparalleled conveniences.
We can all agree that having your security system armed gives you a big leg-up if an unfortunate event occurs. Nonetheless, we commonly see alarm users go long periods without arming their security system. The lack of utilization is one of the most common reasons for cancellation of security monitoring. But what if you were reminded each time your home was empty? Wouldn't it make sense to arm this powerful security system when no one is home? Meet Geo-Fencing - your helpful reminder to ensure your home is protected while you're away.
Geo-Fencing is a revolutionary technology that uses GPS to bridge the gap between you and your home. With Geo-Fencing, your home security system doesn't just react; it proactively engages based on your location, making mundane manual operations obsolete. It's a perimeter set around your home, which is created based on your work and travel habits. Most commonly, we set a one-mile perimeter around your home. Your crossing that perimeter initiates powerful automations based on your needs.
Imagine an invisible boundary around your house, known as a "geofence". This is the heart of Geo-Fencing. Whenever you cross this boundary - be it leaving for work or coming back from a jog - the system springs into action. Depending on your preferences, it might arm the security, adjust the thermostat, or even turn on the porch lights, ensuring you always return to a welcoming home. Concerned about another device tracking your location? Stress less, Geo-Fencing only registers your interaction with that adjustable perimeter.
Geo-Fencing doesn’t just stop at keeping potential threats out. It weaves into your day-to-day life, ensuring energy efficiency and creating a living space that understands you. Forgetting to arm your security system? Geo-Fencing sends a reminder. Need your home to be the perfect temperature upon your arrival? The system adjusts the thermostat based on your proximity. Forgot to close the garage door? Get a quick push notification reminding you to close that garage door. Accidentally left home without locking the front door? Lock that deadbolt without even opening up the Alarm.com mobile app - simply click "lock door" from the push notification.
The beauty of Geo-Fencing lies in its automation. Gone are the days where security was just about keeping intruders out. Today, it’s about merging security with daily life. It’s about your home anticipating your needs, ensuring comfort, safety, and efficiency without constant user inputs.
Marrying Geo-Fencing with top-tier security technologies, such as those offered by EPS, creates a synergy of safety and convenience.
