Dads, when was the last time you upgraded your locks? If it’s been a while, consider investing in smart locks to update your home security system. Smart locks, along with wireless doorbells and other smart security gadgets, offer advanced features that can help keep your family safe and sound—and lock out the risks of unauthorized access.

But how exactly do smart locks keep your family safe? What makes it a much better option than regular locks? While deadbolts may be sufficient and traditional enough for some, modern technology has presented a better way to protect ourselves – smart locks. Now let’s explore everything about smart locks.

Ease Your Life With Their Keyless Entry

doorLet’s be honest. Does the horror of thieves and burglaries happening around constantly put you in endless anxiety? More and more people can easily unlock your traditional locks within 3 seconds. Yes, you read it right. But with smart locks, there’s no need to worry about carrying a house key around anymore. Smart locks allow remote access via an app or Bluetooth technology, so you can easily unlock the door without a physical key.

Some even can detect your face, eyes, and even voice. Plus, you can grant access from anywhere to guests without giving an actual physical key.

Monitor Unauthorized Access & Create Virtual Keys

Another great feature of using a smart lock is that it allows users to monitor and control access to the home all from one place. You can create virtual keys for visitors, friends, or family members who need access to your house and monitor who enters, when they enter, and even set specific access times. This helps you keep track of people entering your home and limit unauthorized access. Additionally, if you ever lose a virtual key, it can be easily deleted from the system, which is not possible with physical keys.

Receive Alerts & Set Automated Locks

Smart locks also come with additional security features, such as geofencing and two-factor authentication, making them more secure than regular locks. Geofencing is a feature that allows you to set up an automatic lock when someone leaves home so it will be locked whenever you are away. You can also receive real-time notifications or alerts of any access to your home.

 

Track and Provide Activity Logs

There is no reason not to upgrade your locks.

Well, except for your budget, you should really think about getting one. This is not for your own protection but for the safety of the entire family. So don’t wait too long and do some research today to explore all of the features and benefits that smart locks can offer you. After all, as an old saying goes, “It is better to be safe than sorry.”
