By Alliance Security|February 4th, 2019|Connected Home, Home Safety & Tips
The season of love — the time of year when you show your care, admiration, and friendship
for the people closest to you. Valentine’s Day is nearly here. While to a lot of people it’s just
about romantic relationships, it doesn’t have to be. It’s also a great time to be thinking about
all of the people you love and care about.
At Alliance, we believe in helping people stay connected to the things that matter most. That
could be their families, homes, pets, and so on. The way we do that is by helping them create
a safe, connected home. The result, a home that works for you and a closer, happier family.
5 Ways a Connected Home Can Bring Your Family Closer
Having a connected home means that all of your home devices work in sync with your
lifestyle. Whether it’s your security alarm, lights, thermostat, or appliances, everything is
connected to you for control on the go. But, it’s more than just turning things on and off from
your phone. A connected home works for you. So, it can do things like send you a reminder
when you forget to arm your system, adjust the thermostat for you when you’re away from
home, and even automatically record your pets doing funny things throughout the day.

2. A connected home helps parents look after their kids, saving time and energy. It can also give
teenagers the freedom and independence that they need. On top of that, it keeps your home
and family safe — and when you feel safe, you feel loved.
In honor of the season of love, we’ve put together our top 5 ways that a connected home can
bring your family closer together. We’ve also added some tips that will help you get more out
of your connected home.
1. It’s Almost as Good as Being There
Whether you’re a new parent chasing around the terrible twos, or you have teenagers coming
and going for the first time, life is busy. We can’t always be home when we feel like we need
to be. For the times when you can’t, a connected home keeps you connected.
Check on the Babysitter
First time with a new babysitter? Indoor cameras help you feel confident when you’re on a
date with your significant other so you can focus on rekindling the romance. Just check in from
your phone to see what’s happening at home. Or, set up video notifications for certain rooms
and get notified if they’re somewhere they shouldn’t be.
See Kids Coming Home from School
One of the most stressful things as a working parent is when your kids are coming home
alone from school for the first time. You can tell your kids to send you a text message when

3. they get home, but you’re always left in panic that one time they forget. Your alarm system will
automatically send you a notification when they get home from school, keeping you
connected so you can worry less while you’re working.
Capture All of the Social Media Worthy Moments
We always have our cameras ready to capture the moments that will become memories. The
first steps, the first words, and all of the funny things that happen along the way. Indoor
cameras with smart clips ensure that you never miss out on these memories. Download and
save your favorite clips to share with friends and family members.
2. You Can Stop Sweating the Small Stuff, Like if You Forgot to Lock the Door
We’ve all done it, left the door unlocked. Usually nothing happens, and it’s as simple as
walking in freely when you get home from work. But that doesn’t mean you don’t think about
what could be happening at your house the whole time you’re away. It’s unnecessary stress.
Stop sweating the small stuff.
Connected Locks
Connected locks are probably the coolest thing to happen to homes, ever. Not only do they
make it simple for families because you don’t need a key to lock or unlock the door. But, you
can control them right from your phone no matter where you are. Plus, if you ever forget to
lock the door, they can actually lock themselves when you leave.

4. Control Appliances and Lights
You can also control any appliances that are connected to your system from your phone. All
you have to do is plug them into the smart plug, and you can turn them on or off when you’re
away. This is great for people who sometimes forget to turn off the hair straightener or curling
iron.
3. You Can Check on Pets Throughout the Day — They’re Family Too!
If you have pets, you know that they are members of the family too. So, when you’re gone
throughout the day, it’s nice to be able to see what they’re doing while you’re away. You can
check to make sure that they aren’t getting into too much mischief or tearing up your furniture.
Talk to Pets When You’re Away
With Arlo Cameras, you can talk to your pets too! With two-way audio, you can talk to pets
and hear what’s going on at the same time. Tell them to get off the sofa, get out of the trash,
or just give them a little bit of love.
4. It Helps Make Home Feel Like Home
Home feels like home when it’s safe and secure. Your security system not only keeps you
connected to home, but it keeps you connected to help. That means that whether you’re

5. home or not, someone will always be there to answer your emergency. Your home is
connected with police, fire, and medical services.
When the door is locked and the system is armed, your family will feel safe and confident. As
parents, you are always the protector of your home. Alliance just lends a hand.
