Home Security Is Remotely Possible

Spring is in the air! A notable increase in outdoor activities abound as neighborhoods transition to the warmer weather, extra daylight, increased family time and the dream of weekend getaways, golf, softball and whatever else allows someone to break away from the cocoon of cabin fever.

Because of this; it is also the prime time to shift your home security strategy.

Statistically, home break-ins begin a resurgence as even the not-so-bold invaders collect a new dose of courage if they take advantage of these natural resources available to them. As I've posted earlier, your common sense is the best form of protection that you possess. And that's free. How you apply that at times that you are not present is how my industry's services work best for you.

The advantages of smart devices make it possible to access and stay in control and be alerted to changes of all aspects of your life from virtually anywhere, especially where your loved ones and prime investments are concerned. The GoHawk Security Remote Automation system is really the right fit for you for the extended periods of time that you may be away from home.

Did you remember to set the alarm when you left home? A notification to a "non-event" should a system be expected to be turned on or off at designated times can be sent to you. With Geo-Services, it's even possible for your system to sense a separation from it and your smartphone a few miles away. At that point, you can activate your system by logging in securely. Anyone with access to your alarm can be programmed in and tagged with a specific code that will alert you to whomever was there by name. If they don't have access, you can remotely unlock the door, turn off the alarm and even turn on the porch light for them.

Forget to reset the thermostat? With the GoGreen Energy Management System, keep up with real-time room temperature and extreme settings alerts. A tremendous cost saver in the midst of the pummeling Texas heat ahead.

I was amazed to find out recently that my neighborhood had experienced a power outtage for exactly 1 hour and 11 minutes. How did I know? My GoHawk app alerted me, even giving me a detail that under 5% of a mile radius around my home was down! No more mystery as to why my coffee maker clock was flashing when I got home!

Consider the value that a GoHawk Smarthome Management System can offer. It's how control, convenience and common sense work together.
