There are many options available for Alexa's home security. These include Alexa Guard Dog, Alexa Guard and Intruder Alert. Additional devices are also available, including SmartThings and SmartDoorbell door locks. These devices make it easy to protect your family and home.
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. The Alexa Guard device allows you to control how your home security system responds in response to specific events. It can control lights and mimic the behavior of the homeowner. Alexa Guard initially will work with Ring and ADT security systems.
Alexa Guard is also compatible with smart lighting and other smart home devices. It can also identify certain sounds and play them back to alert of potential intrusions. It can be set to turn on connected smart lights and make your house look occupied.
Alexa Intruder Alert
You can create an Alexa Intruder Alarm to alert you when someone attempts to enter your home. You can activate this feature by saying "Alexa set an intruder alarm" and your smart house will alert you. It is essential that you remember to enter a voice-activated password and set the WiFi password.
As a fun joke, you can use the Alexa Intruder alert to secure your home. The Alexa app must be set up to enable the device. You can also set the intruder alarm to only work when someone is at home. This will ensure that you are not concerned about people listening in on your home or hearing your footsteps. It will only alert you if there is a chance of someone breaking into your home.
Guard Dog
Amazon's Guard Dog, for Alexa, is a smart home security device that works with Amazon Echo. The device will alert to glass breakage and will play the broken glass sounds to protect you. It can be set up to perform Guard tasks, as well as audio recording.
Guard is completely free and compatible with Alexa Home Security Devices. It will listen for any alarm sounds in your home, and record a 10-second clip to alert you. You can choose the type of sounds you would like to receive notifications for.
Smart doorbell
There are two types of smart doorbells on the market today: wired and wireless. Both of these devices record HD videos, while one records in the cloud. Video doorbells should have at least 1080p resolution, but 2K resolution is preferred for better detail. Wired doorbells require less maintenance than battery-operated ones. Depending on the model, some camera systems are able to differentiate between people, pets, passing vehicles, and package deliveries. Many cameras have a square aspect and a 180 degree field of view.
Some smart video doorbells can stream live video via Alexa. This feature is available on Nest security cameras, but other smart security cameras may only support simple functions such as turning the camera on or off and checking its status. Some cameras have smart responses that allow you to see who rang your doorbell or other smart home security features. Some have motion sensors.

How To
What to Look for in a Home Security Monitoring Service
There are many factors you need to consider when choosing the right home security monitoring company. The first thing to do is make sure that there is someone who knows what they're doing. Ask around to determine if someone else has used this service provider. You should not use them if they don't have any recommendations. Ask your family and friends if they would recommend this company. This allows you to receive honest feedback from actual users of the services. You can also read customer reviews online. Check out their website and social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. Seek out customer feedback and complaints. Look at any negative comments and try to find out why they were posted. This could indicate something negative has happened to a customer.
Next is to verify references. You can also call past clients to ask how the service was received. Did they feel satisfied with the quality of work? All went according to plan. You should ensure that your previous company is reliable and trustworthy. They didn't just give a quote, but finished the job.
Next, find a licensed company and one that is insured. If anything happens to your property while on vacation, an insurance policy will pay for it. The best companies offer 24/7 emergency response services so that you won't have to worry about calling them during business hours.
Inquire about whether they offer free maintenance and installation. Many companies charge extra for these services. This makes sense as maintaining and installing equipment is time-consuming and expensive. Some companies offer basic monitoring services that aren't sufficient for most homeowners.
Ensure that the company has reasonable prices. You shouldn't be paying too much for a substandard product. When comparing different providers, always compare apples to apples. One provider may charge $150 per month for basic monitoring while another provider might charge $200 per year for the same service. It is important to shop around to find the best price for your service.
