KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING

Ordinary alarm systems can be effective, but they provide only minimal information. If an alarm is triggered, all you know is that somebody attempted to enter your home somewhere. Even worse, if you’re away from home you may not even find out an incident has occurred until well after the fact. With a modern system of cameras and sensors, Distinctive Audio Video lets you see what’s happening in and around your home at all times. These systems can send alerts to your phone or other device, and you can even watch live feeds from anywhere in the world. Of course, if you’re going to be adding a bunch of devices around your home, let Distinctive Audio Video ensure your network is up to the task.

CONTROL ACCESS TO YOUR HOME

Knowing what’s happening around your property is valuable, but keeping intruders out will allow you to be one step ahead. We work with our partners to help make sure nobody gets into your home who shouldn’t. With a smart home security system, you can set all the locks with the press of a button and know wherever there might be a break in the system. Additionally, these systems make it easier to control who has access to your home. If you have a cleaning or repair crew coming by your home, you can let them in remotely and then lock the door behind them when they’ve finished with their work. A smart doorbell gives you a look at who’s at your front door and lets you decide if they get in or not.

A UNITED FRONT

The biggest benefit of automating home security is that it brings all these disparate elements together in one interface. Your cameras talk to your motion sensors and your smart locks, and all that information comes together on your phone, tablet or other device. It’s a commonly held belief that there’s strength in numbers, and home automation is the security equivalent of that belief.
