Using Smart Home Security Technology to Detect and Deter Unwanted Halloween FrightsIRVING, Texas, Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Halloween is the perfect time to capitalize on the many advantages of smart home security technology, according to Shannon Murphy, vice president of sales and marketing for the Electronic Security Association (ESA). Smart home systems enable residents to program and remotely control security systems, heating, air conditioning, lighting and electronic devices through their smart phone or computer. "There was a time when your only way to get a glance at the ghouls and goblins at your door was to look out a small peephole," says Murphy. "With an integrated smart home security system, you can simply use your smart phone to identify friend or foe." Murphy offers the following tips to help make the most of smart home security systems during Halloween:
"A professionally-monitored smart home security system can alert you and the appropriate authorities to unusual activity and potential threats," Murphy says. "This is important every day of the year – but provides an added comfort level on holidays such as Halloween."
