Yes, there are several smart home security features that can be installed to enhance the safety of your home during a self-catering holiday with a baby:
Smart Locks
Smart locks allow you to lock and unlock doors remotely using a smartphone app or voice commands. This is convenient for letting in guests or checking if doors are secured, even when away from the property[1][2].
Smart Doorbell Cameras
Smart doorbell cameras provide video footage of who is at your door. They can send alerts to your phone when someone approaches and allow you to communicate with visitors through the app[1][2].
Smart Outdoor Lighting
Motion-activated smart outdoor lights can deter intruders and make it easier to navigate the property at night. They automatically turn on when motion is detected[1].
Smart Smoke and CO Detectors
Interconnected smart smoke and carbon monoxide detectors can alert you to potential fire or gas leaks, even when away. They link to the overall security system to provide emergency notifications[1][2].
Smart Home Hub Integration
Tying the security system to a smart home hub like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant enables voice control and seamless integration with other connected devices in the property[1][2].
By installing these smart security features, you can enhance the safety and convenience of your self-catering holiday home for your family. Be sure to ask the property owner about any smart home capabilities when booking.
