An integrated smart home security system could give you an early warning of an intruder in your property. Automatically switching on internal house lights when presence is detected outside. Display the relevant CCTV images on your TV screens and on your phone. Emailing or texting you alerts if you are away. When you leave the house the system can turn off all the lights and turn on holiday mode giving the illusion that the house is still occupied.
