Learn the Benefits & Features of Smart Alarm Systems

Laguna Beach, CA, offers stunning views, beautiful beaches, and—for the most part—a safe residential area. However, Southern California law enforcement agencies have recently reported a growing trend known as burglary tourism. 

It occurs when criminals from out of the country travel to the U.S. for the specific purpose of burglarizing homes. Commonly from South America, they survey homes before breaking in, looking for houses with no lights on and unoccupied dwellings. They target affluent coastal neighborhoods and homes that border parks, trails, and golf courses.

Today’s smart alarm systems offer a proactive measure—alerting homeowners before the unthinkable occurs. At Fuzion 3, our professional team has provided customized security and home automation solutions for our clients in Southern California for over 30 years. We know the tactics these groups use, such as entering from the second floor to escape the first-floor alarm system. 

Police also emphasize the importance of layers within a home security system, including alarms, cameras, and lighting. They also recommend creating an appearance that someone is home when you’re away. 

Let’s explore what these intelligent systems offer and how they help protect your home and family.

Security Cameras

Smart security cameras with remote access notify you if someone comes to your front door or an unknown vehicle pulls into the driveway. Setting virtual tripwires ensures an immediate alert when crossed, whether around the perimeter of your property or in front of the garage. Should a breach occur, intruders will know they’ve been spotted with flashing red lights and loud beeps.

Today’s cameras also provide two-way audio, night vision, and 360-degree panoramic views, enabling you to see clearly no matter the time of day and speak to the person caught on camera. Remote access lets you see what’s happening on your property no matter where you are in the world. For clients opting for 24/7 remote monitoring, a professional team responds to emergencies, alerting the proper authorities and providing a rapid response.

Sensors & Alerts

Intelligent sensors send alerts and a video clip when unusual movement is detected. Motion sensors can also trigger outdoor lights to illuminate. Additionally, broken door or window contacts trigger audible alarms and flashing lights, whether on the first or second floor.

Smart Lighting and Shades for Occupancy Simulation

With one tap on an ‘Away’ button, your smart home creates the illusion that it’s occupied. Lights turn on and off randomly, just as they do when you are home. Motorized shades rise and lower, and the TV or music system turns on and off. This mimics your family’s behavior and is a much better approach than setting your lights on timers, a sure sign that you’re not home.

Always in the Know

Your smart alarm system keeps you in the know, alerting you if someone leaves without locking the windows or doors, a common entry for thieves. You can check in remotely from the app and lock the doors or windows with one tap.
