Home Security Systems

It seems natural that home security systems would be integrated into home automation, since many of the systems needed to control and monitor security are already part of an automation system.

There are many benefits to making home security part of your home network, including you being able to monitor your home from your phone, tablet or computer while you are not there and being able to setup scenarios you would like the system to execute at certain times or when you tell it to (such as ‘going to bed’ mode, where everything is locked up, security cameras are recording, alarms are armed and more).
