Keep an Eye on Your Orange County Property from Anywhere – Home or Away

It’s always important to stay aware of your surroundings and not become complacent when it comes to security. No matter where you live, potential thieves look for opportunities wherever they may be. A home cloaked in darkness at midnight is an easier burglary target than one that is blanketed in protective landscape lighting. Visible security cameras and video doorbells also serve as deterrents to potential porch pirates.

To make protecting your home second nature, consider a security camera installation on your Newport Beach, CA property. Though it may seem like a daunting endeavor, it doesn’t need to be – let us help you! Keep reading below to learn how Launch Systems can implement a security solution that improves your peace of mind and protects those you care for the most.

What Is It Like to Have a Smart Security System?

Imagine synchronizing lighting, shading, intrusion detection, surveillance cameras, door locks, and more into one comprehensive control platform. With the press of your finger on a customized wall keypad, you can orchestrate a smart response from all of these security devices, and from your smartphone, you can even tap into live security camera footage!

The “Goodnight” smart scene sets the following smart responses in motion: Shades lower to provide privacy, lights turn off in sleeping areas, locks and the alarm system are armed, and exterior landscape lighting illuminates your home for an additional layer of safety. If you believe you heard a ‘bump in the night,’ you can view the live security camera feed from the comfort of your bed to reassure yourself and go back to sleep.

Convenience

If you have a large expanse of windows, multiple floors, or hard-to-reach windows, then you know how long it takes to simply open every window treatment in your home to let natural sunlight into your spaces. Sure, you could leave blinds or drapes open at all times, but then you lose valuable privacy from nosy neighbors and potential thieves.

It’s More than Music! A Multi-Room Audio System Brings Your Favorite Media Everywhere

So, you aren’t much of a music buff, and your friends would never consider calling you an audiophile. Don’t let that stop you from considering an audio system that spans your entire Newport Beach or nearby Orange County property!

A whole-house audio system can bring your favorite media – podcasts, audiobooks, sports, TV, movies, even YouTube – to every corner of your home, even outside. Plus, it will add a fun soundtrack to your next get-together, something you may not have even fathomed since you don’t consider yourself much of a music fan.

Listening Room

You don’t need to blast classic rock festivals in order to enjoy the bold and room-encompassing experience of a dedicated listening area. With floorstanding loudspeakers at the front of the room and bookshelf and surround speakers strategically placed amongst your space, you’ll be able to listen to a riveting true crime podcast with the host’s voice all around you, adding to the experience.

The best part of a whole-house audio system is the ability to take your audio to any room of the house. Simply pause your podcast episode using voice control, a universal remote, or your smartphone, then go wherever you need to go. You can pick up where you left off once you reach another area of your home – just press play!

Automated Window Treatments

Motorized blinds and shades can do more than cover your windows to provide privacy from peering eyes. Different fabric and style selections can offer various features depending on how you want to use them. For example, curtains made of tightly-woven fabric can block out ambient light, perfect for using in your bedroom and in home theater spaces.

With the tap of a button on your smart home control system, you can draw open the curtains to let warming, natural light into your bedroom in the mornings so you can more naturally ease yourself into the day ahead. In your living spaces, roller shades or sheer drapes with a looser fabric weave can allow softer light to filter into areas. Any annoying glare is reduced, but your family can still see the beautiful outdoor views through the fabrics.
