When considering home security alarm installation, many homeowners view their pets as a potential hindrance. Pets aren’t a problem, however. They’re a part of the family, and state-of-the-art home security providers can account for them just as they would any other family member. With this expectation in mind, let’s explore how you can include and better protect your pets.
Pet-Friendly Motion Detectors
The most common misunderstanding when it comes to home security alarm installation is the relationship between animals and motion sensors. Many people have an outdated perspective on this technology. The equipment today is very sophisticated. It can also be wireless, which allows for configurations that weren’t possible in a conventional system. In addition, home security providers can set detectors with pets in mind, and the central monitoring station can also account for them.
Security Surveillance
It used to be that CCTV systems were only used in businesses and wealthy people’s homes. Today, the technology has become so affordable that cameras are practically standard equipment. What’s neat is that home security providers can install specific cameras with your pets in mind, such as an additional camera in a sleeping area or in an area where you store household poisons. Imagine a camera on your saltwater fish tank, which would allow you to keep an eye on it at all times.
Remote Access and Control
Surveillance is much more useful in a modern system because it’s no longer limited to the immediate living area. In fact, if you have Internet access in the home, remote access can account for this and allow the cameras to stream online. Picture being able to check in on your cats and dogs from your smartphone while at work. Remote control features also allow you to adjust thermostats, lights and even feeders.
Large Pets
Today, it’s common to put security equipment on pet access points. These chimes alert you when the dog or cat comes or goes, and it also allows the system to activate if a burglar tries to exploit it. It’s also possible to protect cabinets, storage units, closets and even garbage in a way that they’ll be able to alert you if a pet compromises them.
Small Pets
Freeze sensors are useful for small pets because it prevents accidental death due to temperatures that are too low. You can also connect feeders, water sources and heat sources to the system. It’s even possible to have an alarm system on cage doors and the like, which will trigger when opened. No matter your unique small pet situation, there’s a way to configure the system to account for it.
Aquarium Pets
The versatility of modern security technology also applies to fish tanks. It’s possible to configure sensors for lids, water temperature, feeding, turbulence, filtration, lighting, so on and so forth. If you have surveillance with remote access, that can serve you as a mobile work of art, and in the case of a real emergency, it can prove invaluable.
