I first looked into a security system for my cabin many years ago! At that time, every aspect of the system had to be hardwired and required drilling holes into the walls. The components were heavy, bulky and uncharming. There were few options beyond an alarm in the event of an intruder, lights and cameras. The images gave by the cameras were nearly impossible to decipher… Plus, the cost of a security system was quite high, i gave up on the whole idea until recently, then when I once again decided to research, I was amazed by the evolution of technology; Rather than a basic security system, I invested into a smart home. The automation system encompasses all of my smart appliances, systems and equipment, because it is entirely wireless, installation caused no harm to my property. Plus, the system is just about future-proof. Whenever updated software and features become available, I’m able to download them without needing to invest into an entire updatement. I cherish that the cameras, sensors, control hub and all components are wonderfully streamlined and unobtrusive. The automation system is especially helpful because the kids arrive cabin from school before my spouse and I are finished at work. My friend and I can watch real time footage throughout smartphones and legitimately watch the kids get off the bus and enter the house. The kids have a code to unlock the door and it automatically locks behind them. The control component and lights also accommodate their arrival. With everything from the oven and refrigerator to the water boiler and washing machine incorporated into the automation system, cabin management is far easier.
