Alexa Guard
Amazon has unveiled Alexa Guard, a home security feature that can be used in conjunction to compatible Alexa Echo devices or alarm systems. This device lets you customize how your home's security system reacts to certain events. It can control lights and mimic the behavior of the homeowner. Alexa Guard is compatible with Ring home security and ADT.
Alexa Guard can also be used with smart lights and other smart devices. It can detect certain sounds and playback them in order to warn you of possible break-ins. For added security, you can also set it to turn on and off connected smart lights, which makes your house appear occupied.
Alexa Intruder Alert
Set up an Alexa Intruder alert to be notified when someone attempts a break-in to your home. You can activate this feature by saying "Alexa set an intruder alarm" and your smart house will alert you. To activate this feature, simply say "Alexa, set an intruder alert" and your smart home will notify you.
You can also use Alexa Intruder Alert to your home security as an amusing prank to scare away intruders. To use the device you will need to set the settings in the Alexa application. You can set the intruder alert so that it only works when someone's home. Because the device only alerts you when someone attempts to enter your home, it won't be able to hear or listen to any footsteps.
Guard Dog
Amazon's Guard Dog For Alexa is a smart assistant for home security that works with Amazon Echo devices. The device will alert your to broken glass and even play sounds from the accident to protect your home and belongings. The device uses audio recording to track any security threats and you can create Guard tasks.
Guard is completely free and compatible with Alexa Home Security Devices. It will detect any danger sounds in the home and notify you by recording a 10 second clip. You can also select the types of sounds that you wish to receive notifications.
Smart doorbell
There are two types of smart doorbells on the market today: wired and wireless. Both record HD video. The one that records in HD is stored on the cloud. A video doorbell should be capable of recording at least 1080p resolution. However, 2K resolution allows for greater detail. Battery-operated doorbells are more maintenance-intensive than wired ones. Some camera systems can distinguish between pets, people and passing vehicles depending on their model. They also have a square aspect ratio, and a 180-degree field.
The ability to stream live video using Alexa may be available on smart video doorbells. Nest security cameras offer this feature, but some of the other smart security cameras support only simple functions like turning on and off the camera and checking its status. Some cameras can respond smartly to your home security system. This allows you to see who has rung your doorbell as well as the other smart features. Many have motion sensors.

How To
How to test your home security system
How to test a Home Security System
The first step is to install your alarm monitoring software on your computer. The latest version should be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site. Next, you will need to setup your phone number so that anyone calling the monitoring center is routed to your line. If you don’t know how to do that, you can ask your local service provider. After everything is set up correctly, it's time to begin testing.
There are two main ways to test your system. First, you can use a fake device. This is basically a fake device which looks exactly like a real device. It has the same features as the real one, but it doesn't actually work. You can turn it on and it will sound exactly the same as the real thing. But there are some disadvantages to using the dummy. It won't give you any information about your system's actual functionality. It might also look suspicious to others who observe it lying around. It could also be stolen, which can cause problems.
The second option is to test the system manually. This means that you go through every feature of your system and make sure that it works properly. Check to make sure that motion sensors, cameras, door locks, and other devices are working correctly. You should test each of these items at least once a week. Once you have tested everything thoroughly you can be confident that your system works well.
