Environmental Threats

From hurricanes to tornado watches, if you live in St. Johns County, you’ve had your share of weather-related emergencies in 2023. While it’s nice to be out of town when these arrive, it’s also unnerving. Is your home standing up to the impact? 

If you've been in St. Augustine for any length of time, you know it's prone to flooding. In fact, while families are fortunate to reside near the Atlantic Ocean and other lakes, rivers, and creeks, all this beauty translates to 90% of residents living in a floodplain.

The good news is that using sensors and security cameras lets you keep an eye on your home and receive emergency alerts no matter where you are. Sensors detect unusual moisture and water levels, and cameras react by sending you video clips of the area. You’ll receive an immediate alert prompting you to look at the live video feed and determine if the situation warrants a call to a neighbor, first responder, or contractor. 

If the flooding is due to a broken pipe in your home, you can activate the smart water shut-off valve to limit any additional damage. Your smart home security cameras also watch over other environmental threats, integrating with smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide detectors.

Always on Watch

Life gets busy. From getting an unexpected business call to forgetting a roast in the oven, our attention can only be in so many places simultaneously. Home security cameras keep watch over the things that matter the most when you’re otherwise engaged.

When the kids are playing in the backyard, the system will send an alert if they cross an invisible predetermined boundary, whether a property line or around the pool. You'll also receive a notification if a stranger crosses those boundaries. Glancing at your live video feed on your smartphone or tablet, you can assess the situation and respond accordingly.

Keeping You and Your Loved Ones Safe

Through strategic placement of security cameras and sensors, you can be confident that you’ll know what’s going on at your home at all times. For some clients, that means indoor and outdoor surveillance. Others want to focus on their outdoor areas and all access points.
