How Your Security System Can Help with Contactless Living

As we navigate the current pandemic, we are all looking for ways to keep everyone in the family as safe as possible. Some of us are staying home in Chico as much as possible and are utilizing delivery services, while others have to go out on the front lines of essential business to keep things going amidst COVID-19.

Recommendations by the CDC say to limit contact with others as much as possible to help slow the spread of the virus. This means distancing yourself from others and staying home when you can. It also means finding new and creative ways to help with contactless living.

Today we will go over how your security system can help with contactless living.

Limiting Contact

Limited person to person contact is imperative in Chico, CA. If you are part of the higher risk group or have someone in your home that is part of this higher risk group, then certain precautions need to be taken.

Doorbell Security Cameras

With your doorbell security cameras, you have the ability to see and communicate with essential workers who may be at your home to drop off groceries, packages, or meals. You will not have to open the door and expose yourself when you have this security feature in place.

Video Cameras

Since we can't really get out of the house to visit family members and friends because of the virus, video cameras offer the perfect solution. Video cameras allow us to check-in virtually with friends and family members to ensure that everything is alright. You can talk with them, check on their wellbeing, and keep in touch.

Smart Home Devices

Another way to help limit contact and limit touching high touch surfaces is by utilizing smart home devices when possible.

Voice Control, for example, allows you to adjust the temperature on your thermostat without having actually to touch the thermostat itself. In addition, you can control your door locks, lights, and so much more using voice control features in the home.

With your mobile security app, you can also control several of your smart devices at once, so you won't have to find yourself constantly having to clean and sanitize remote controls and switches around the home. This limits the likelihood of spreading germs around the home to other family members.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are several ways your home security system can help limit the spread of the virus and allow more of a contact-free environment for yourself and your family. Which of these features do you currently have access to?

For more information on these features and other ways to ensure contactless living at home, contact a reliable security provider in Chico, CA today to get started.

Perhaps you already utilize several of these features in your home but are in need of an upgrade. Your security service provider in Chico can help with upgrading your current system as well.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

"I have been using Crime Free Living for the last couple years ar work and at home and I really recommend this product. Tim is a very good service provider. If he can't figure it out, he's got good tech support with the system that he offers."

Gary D.

"I have known Tim for over 10 years. To date, Time with Crime Free Living has installed two separate surveillance systems for my company. With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget. The equipment used is always state of the art, the workmanship is top notch, and Tim is the example of trustworthy. I would recommend him for any job."
