Prepare for Your Next Vacation with Home Surveillance
Gain Peace of Mind with Outdoor Security Cameras, Automated Locks & More
It’s that time of year—people are packing their bags and sending “out of office” emails as they jet off on vacation. If you’re planning to travel this summer and are reading this blog, you may be concerned about leaving your house vacant for days or weeks on end.
But with a professionally installed security system, you can ensure your house is protected by alarms, locks, and indoor and outdoor security cameras. Here’s how an all-in-one system can safeguard your Memphis, TN, home while you’re away.

Let in the Pet Sitter—Then Lock Up
If you’ve hired a pet sitter or someone to water the plants and bring in mail, a professional security system can simplify the process. Smart door locks allow you to create unique passcodes for anyone visiting the house while you’re away. You’ll receive alerts to your phone when the code is used and doors are unlocked, and you can easily deactivate codes through the security system app. Plus, doors can lock automatically after closing, so you won’t have to worry about a sitter accidentally leaving the back door unlocked.
Stay in the Know
While you’re galavanting around new cities or exploring nature, you don’t have to remind yourself to check the security system every few hours. After all, vacations should be for relaxation!
Your security camera system will alert you if it notices any unusual activity, and from there, you can check live and recorded footage on your phone. Notifications also work with smart locks, so you’ll be informed which door opens as someone enters the house.
Mimic an Occupied House
If your house looks dark all night, it may become vulnerable to trespassing or burglary. But leaving the lights on uninterrupted for a week will also look unattended (and waste electricity).
On your home’s smart security system, you can program lights to toggle on and off throughout the day and night. We can integrate indoor and outdoor lights into the system so you’ll control them alongside cameras, alarms, and other technology. Now it will look like someone’s always home, even if you’re across the globe.
Going Off-Grid without Service?
If you’ll be camping in the Great Smoky Mountains or exploring another national park, you may not have cell service to check on your security cameras. That’s where remote monitoring comes in. By subscribing to a remote monitoring service, if your system is tripped, a remote monitoring agent can review your indoor and outdoor security cameras to see if there’s a threat. If the operator notices anything suspicious, they can call the authorities on your behalf.
Control It All with One System
High-end security systems make it easy to manage a collection of cameras, alarms, sensors, lights, and more. And if you own more than one property, you can control them both in one place. A system like Elan or Alarm.com allows you to swipe through houses or rooms on the app’s interface, select the devices you want, and make changes remotely.
