Five Outdoor Home Security Essentials for Summertime

These outdoor security essentials will safeguard your home and preserve your peace of mind all summer long, letting you make the most of the warmer weather, worry-free.

1: Smart Security Camera

As well as sending you live and recorded footage of your outdoor space, these cameras also send a clear message to visitors: "I have a smart home security system." That's enough to keep most burglars away.

2: Smart Lighting

Prowlers rarely like to be in the spotlight. Automated outdoor lighting, triggered by your image sensors or smart cameras, ensures that intruders have nowhere to hide after dark.

3: Contact Sensors

Installed on a door or window, a wireless contact sensor can alert our monitoring center to a break-in, remind you to lock up for the night, or let you know if your kids are on their way to breaking curfew.

4: Doorbell Camera

A doorbell camera is the best protection for your front porch. With motion-triggered video alerts, a live video feed and two-way voice, you can see and speak to visitors from anywhere, whether they ring the bell or not.

5: Smart Garage Door Opener

Summer means long evening bike rides, road trips, and plenty of outdoor projects—all of which means plenty of opportunity to leave your garage door open. Incorporate an Alarm.com-powered controller into your security system to check the status and control your garage door from anywhere.
