"When you're a renter you don't think about home security," says David. But when you become a homeowner, everything changes. You notice glass doors in your home; you notice windows that look easy to break into. As new homeowners, our security system gives us peace of mind."
"I'm surprised by how much less I worry," says Marisa. "And it never occurred to me how much we would use the system."
David and Marisa are young professionals and first-time homeowners living a busy life in Washington, DC. They work unpredictable hours, travel frequently, and appreciate the ease of protecting their home with Smart Home Security.
"This is not the type of security system I grew up with," says David. "My recollection of that was having to race indoors with your groceries before the alarm went off."
"Instead, we have a smartphone app that controls everything. There's no need to rush into the house because we can disarm it from the driveway. When we leave, we arm it from the car.
"Last week, we went out of town. We were halfway to the airport when I realized we'd forgotten to arm the system. I opened the app, hit ‘Arm Away' and it was done."

"Our routines vary a lot because of work," says David, "so we set up some reminders. If we forget to arm the system in the morning, we get a reminder, and we can arm it remotely.
"In the evening, if Marisa has to work late and I go to bed, I can set the alarm knowing that she'll see on her phone that it's armed. That way she can disarm it when she's on her way home."
"Other people like our system too," says Marisa. "We go out of town a lot. If we have someone come to check in on our dog, or David's parents come to bring in the mail, they can arm and disarm the system with their own codes. They got to choose their codes themselves, so they'd never have the pressure of being in someone's house and not being able to remember the alarm code. It's easy and it's convenient for everyone."
"It's pretty safe in our neighborhood, all things considered," says David. But our system gives us that extra peace of mind. We know what's going on at home, and we're protected if something ever happened."
