Why Your Security System is the Key to Smarter Home Management

Access Control Systems, Home Security, Smart Devices, Smart Home

In today’s world, security systems are more than just tools to protect your home — they’re the foundation of an innovative, connected lifestyle. Modern security solutions integrate seamlessly with home management system features, making everyday tasks more straightforward, efficient, and secure. At Custom Security Systems, we specialize in helping homeowners transform their spaces with technology that provides convenience, peace of mind, and energy savings.

Discover how your smart home security system can become the key to managing your home.

1. Simplify Energy Management

Do you often forget to turn off lights or adjust the thermostat before leaving home? With a smart home security and energy management system, this has become a problem of the past.

Control Your Energy Use  

You can monitor and change the thermostat or toggle lights on and off from your phone — even if you’re miles away. For example, you can remotely control your appliances via smart plugs! No more wondering if you remembered to turn off your curling iron or straightener. 

Personalized schedules enable you to automate energy usage based on your daily routines. You can even set partial lock-outs to avoid “thermostat wars.”

Automate Energy Savings with Geofencing  

Smart thermostats and smart lighting controls allow you to adjust settings remotely, ensuring your home uses energy efficiently. For example, geofencing technology can detect when you’re coming home or leaving and automatically adjust the settings.

Monitor Consumption  

You’ll even get reports on your monthly energy usage, helping you identify savings opportunities. Smart thermostats alone can reduce energy costs by up to 8% in heating and cooling bills.  With heating and cooling reports, your system lets you stay current on your consumption habits while providing actionable options to adjust those reports as you please. 

Whether optimizing lights or adjusting air conditioning, this home energy management system makes your home greener and saves money.

2. Prevent Flood and Environmental Damage

Some of the most costly home repairs stem from preventable problems like water damage or extreme temperature fluctuations. Your innovative security system handles this, too.

Flood Detection  

Water Dragon sensors placed in vulnerable areas, such as bathrooms or kitchens, can alert you to water leaks before they cause significant damage. Real-time notifications allow you to address issues immediately.

Temperature Monitoring  

These alerts can help notify of frozen pipes in the winter and help maintain a comfortable home year-round. Protection like this makes your security system a key addition to your home flood detection system.

3. Enhanced Property Awareness

A smart home management system keeps you connected to your home from wherever your schedule takes you. Besides offering safety, it provides insightful updates to help you manage your property.

Keep Tabs on Your Property

Stay informed about the status of gates, garage doors, or other entry points. Flex IO sensors can even monitor detached areas like sheds or bike storage, ensuring every corner of your property is secure.

Custom Notifications  

Want to know when the garage door is left open? Or has someone accessed the gun safe or liquor cabinet? Your system can send instant updates for these key areas, so you always stay informed.

4. Control at Your Fingertips

Your security system’s app puts control of your home in your hand, creating seamless experiences throughout your day. 

With the help of Siri or Alexa, your home has never been easier to control. The smartphone app offers a highlight reel to review daily, and you can add widgets to your home screen for even more direct, easy management. 

Remote Access  

Whether you want to lock the front door, adjust lighting, or arm the system, you can do it in seconds from your phone. Gone are the days of rushing home to make sure everything is secure. 

With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can arm or disarm your system, lock or unlock doors, and grant temporary access to trusted individuals like maintenance workers or house sitters using smart door lock systems.

Daily Automation  

Set customized schedules for convenience. For example, the system can ensure lights are off, doors are locked, and alarms are on when it’s time for bed.

With just a few taps, your smart home security system makes life smoother and more manageable.

5. Peace of Mind With Video Surveillance

A versatile home management system goes beyond often basic security. Here’s how video surveillance helps.

Keep an Eye on Your Family  

Check-in on your kids, pets, or elderly loved ones with live video streaming from your cameras.

Instant Alerts With Recorded Footage  

Capture motion-activated alerts to know when packages arrive or if there’s unexpected activity at home.

Some cameras even feature built-in two-way communication, allowing you to greet visitors or deter unwanted guests from wherever you are.

6. Caring for Elderly Loved Ones

Security systems can also provide extra support for elderly or young family members, helping them maintain independence while staying safe.

Medical Alert Integration  

Wearable devices that allow immediate response in emergencies should be enabled.

24/7 Monitoring  

Keep track of unusual activity patterns, like forgetting meals or skipping medication, helping you offer support when needed. It’s monitoring with care, tailored for your family’s well-being.

7. Doorbell Camera Features for Everyday Convenience

Your doorbell is no longer just a doorbell. Doorbell cameras are a powerful tool for communication and security.

Never Miss a Visitor  

Get instant alerts on your phone when someone rings the doorbell — even if you’re not home. Plus, you can have complete control over where the doorbell ring will sound in your home. You can customize chime tones or silence them during quiet hours or in specific rooms. That way, an unexpected delivery won’t disrupt nap time or an important meeting.

Integrated Communication  

Speak directly with delivery drivers or visitors via the doorbell camera’s microphone and speaker. This feature ensures you’re always in control, even when you’re away.

Use our smart device app and Z-Wave devices to easily set schedules for your smart home system and enjoy greater peace of mind wherever you may be. Smart home security systems are convenient, interactive ways to protect what matters most. Here are our tips to make your home smart.

First, What Are the Benefits of a Smart Home Security System?

Smart home security systems allow you to keep an eye on your home whether you are across town or away on vacation. These systems monitor your home, your pets, and your children to ensure that your loved ones and belongings are secure. With Custom Security Systems’ Z-Wave technology, you can link your various smart devices to your home security system! This means that you can not only receive security alerts, but you can also control your lights, thermostat settings, and even lock your doors remotely.

Need Help Setting Schedules for Your Smart Home System?

Z-Wave is the hub of your smart home. With our technology from Custom Security Systems, you have options to take care of your home while you’re away. This technology allows you to control multiple devices around your home through smart technology. Through wireless communications, smart items—including locks, thermostats, televisions, security cameras, and more—can be controlled with ease through a smart application. Once you have installed these Z-Wave devices, simply download the Custom Security Systems application and further customize your security settings to meet your needs! Here’s how you can customize your home:

Smart Door Locks

Have you ever locked your key inside your home or forgotten to lock your door when leaving? Our smart door locks help to take the stress of your home security off your shoulders. Up to 30 users can set personalized key codes to manually enter into your doorknob’s keypad. Or, you can lock or unlock your door remotely. Our smart locks can also be set to auto-lock when you leave. These settings are available to provide you with extra peace of mind, especially for the security of your children or senior adult residents.

Smart Climate Control

Control your smart thermostat and adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting before you get home from work with your smart device. Set thermostat schedules for when you are home, going to sleep, waking up, and away. You can even access Geo-Services to adjust your temperature depending on how close you are to home! The best part? These smart temperature settings may help homes and businesses save up to 20% on their energy bills!

Smart Lighting Control

If you work late-night shifts or are returning to your home late at night, smart lighting control is available to greet you when you get home. Rather than entering a dark house, you can program your Custom Security smart system to turn your lights on as you arrive. You can also set them to turn off when you leave to prevent costly energy bills. Within our app, you can schedule what time of day your lights should turn on and off. With the help of our smart lighting control, you’re never left in the dark—literally.

This Baby Safety Month, keep your kids protected with these tips.

Tips for Keeping Children Safer

Alarm Systems, Cameras, Locks, Smart Devices

Our children represent our hopes and dreams, and it’s natural to want to keep them as safe from harm as possible. At Custom Security, our specialty is ensuring the safety and security of your home and everyone in it. And because September is Baby Safety Month, we are here to help with tips for keeping your kids safe. Find ideas to protect your children at various stages of development with this guide. 

Newborns

There’s nothing like the feeling of bringing your newborn home for the first time. Many people choose to keep their cribs in the master bedroom, which can make it easier to check in on them more easily and frequently. Additionally, our remote-view cameras can allow you to check in on your newborn from nearly any location. So, even if you are in another room while your baby goes down for a nap, you have the option to make sure they are sleeping soundly. And, even if you are away and someone else is babysitting, you can use your smart device to check in on your newborn for added peace of mind. So, when you finally decide to go out, your experience can be that much more enjoyable knowing that you can look in on them with the app.

In addition, children as well as parents benefit from monitored fire systems. Nearly 80% of all fire fatalities occur when families are asleep. However, with a monitored fire system from Custom Security, in-home sirens can alert you to smoke and other gases. Our operators will also contact your local fire department, helping them arrive sooner. 

Toddlers

As exciting as it is to see your child crawl for the first time, it can also bring a lot of worry. With a newborn, keeping track of where they are is easy. But, as soon as your child becomes mobile, they can get into all sorts of areas that may not be safe. You will want to make sure that cabinets have child safety locks on them. This can keep your toddler from getting into potentially dangerous materials, such as cleaning supplies and cutlery. Also, chimes can be enabled on your security system to let you know each time a window or door is opened. This can be a huge help for keeping your toddler safe and sound inside your home.

School-Aged Children

When children are old enough to go to school and ride the bus, they can still benefit from enhanced security. For example, many parents may hide keys to let their children enter the home if they aren’t there. However, this creates a security vulnerability for the home and the child. Criminals who want to break into a home will often check around the property to find a hidden key, and smart door locks can eliminate this risk. These locks can be opened with a code or remotely via smartphone. Asset protection detection devices can also alert you when potentially dangerous doors are opened. These can include gun storage as well as other cabinets storing items unfit for children, such as alcohol.

This Baby Safety Month, Improve Your Home’s Safety With Custom Security

Baby Safety Month is an excellent time for parents to enhance their home’s security. When you want to create a safer home for your child, we’re ready to help. Get in touch with us today by calling 225-927-5535 or making an appointment online. Put your family’s safety first with Custom Security!

Moving tips from a smart home company serving Prairieville.

Moving Tips From Our Smart Home Company

Smart Devices

Moving can be overwhelming, but proper security measures can make your moving process a bit safer. Custom Security Systems is your trusted smart home company. And we are here to provide tips to make the moving process safer for all.

Checking Your Doors

Let’s begin with the threshold of the home. First and foremost, when you move to a new home, you have to change the locks. So, why not change them out with smart locks? With smart locks, you never have to worry about the hassle or expense of changing them. And, it can save you from worrying about who might have a key. You simply delete a code so you always know who has access to your home. 

Continuing, make sure to check all doors and windows in your home. You want to be sure that they all have working locks and to make note of any necessary repairs or smart home upgrades. This is all for your safety.

Looking Out For the Family

If you have young children or pets, you want to be sure that your home is safe for them as well. One way to proof your home is to put covers on any electrical sockets. Additionally, make sure there are latches on any lower cabinet doors to prevent kids and pets from accessing chemicals, medicines, and other dangerous substances. While this may not seem like an issue on a cabinet that’s only filled with plastic bowls, this will protect your child from entering any cabinet filled with chemicals. Or, if any of your curtains or blinds have looped cords, hide or get rid of them. You’d be surprised how many young children can seriously hurt themselves with these.

Having a gate sensor is also a great way to keep your home safe and secure. If a gate is left open, your pet or child could escape. If you have a swimming pool that you keep gated, a gate sensor would notify you when the gate is accessed or left opened. 

Speaking of gates, make sure that any gates and railings both inside and outside the home are secure and that climbers cannot get stuck in them. This is not only to protect your property but also to protect your loved one’s safety.

The final step to safety is to make sure your new system is working and turned on at the new house when moving. But we recommend keeping the security on at your old house as well. This way, the contents of both homes are protected during the move. We believe in this so much that we’re happy to throw in an expense-free month to make sure you stay safe and secure during your move. Are you ready to stay safer with Custom Security?

Senior Care With Our Smart Home Company

Smart Devices, Wellness

We’re all facing our own day-to-day challenges, and some have had the additional challenge of taking care of their elders while they’re at home. In the face of a global pandemic, this task is more challenging now than ever. If your elders are staying at home during this time, how do you know that they’re safe when you’re not there? Our team at Custom Security Systems understands the care and compassion that needs to go into these decisions. And, as a smart home company, our products are meant to integrate with your daily life to make things easier for you. Discover more about how Custom Security System’s Wellness Services can help.

Common Dangers for Elders

Some reasons why people need the best safety devices for their seniors are dementia and Alzheimer’s. These confusing diseases cause multiple issues for suffering seniors, and since you can’t always be there, it’s important to still monitor their safety. Imagine being able to receive notifications when Mom gets out of bed. Experience peace of mind knowing that the medicine cabinet was opened on time for daily medicine. All of this is possible with the power of Wellness Services. It’s time to move your caregiving into the 21st century.

How Wellness Can Help

We all want to put our loved ones’ safety first. Luckily, Wellcam makes that easy. Because Wellcam is a peek-in camera and only five inches tall, it’s portable, compact, and doesn’t take up too much space. The Wellcam features a 180-degree view and a PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) technology that focuses on areas that are normally out of range. 

Additionally, the Wellcam also comes equipped with a call button and two-way audio. If your elderly family member needs something, they can easily get your attention. It’s also an easy way to keep in touch, especially since we can’t see them in-person as much. 

On top of that, Wellness has the ability to closely monitor activity, so that you can always know what’s happening. Additionally, it can detect changes in their mobility and provide fall alerts when time matters most. There’s even a device called Connected Car that can plug into a vehicle and provide live status updates such as the vehicle being turned on, or when maintenance is required. Our Wellness Services allows them to be safe on the road and at home and gives caregivers the tools they need to take care of their loved ones from anywhere.

Why Fire Safety Matters in Baton Rouge This Holiday Season

Fire Alarms, Smart Devices

The holidays are the perfect time to snuggle up in the comfort of your home. With a warm fire going and presents under the tree, there’s really no better place to be. But, as wonderful as this festive time can be, it’s also one of the worst times to neglect fire safety. You need to be sure that your Baton Rouge home is equipped with an effective fire alarm system. It’s important to be familiar with some of the additional fire hazards that the season can bring as well. Let Custom Security Systems show you how to have a safe, merry Christmas and avoid some costly mistakes.

A Home Fire Alarm System Can Be a Lifesaver

First thing’s first. You need to be sure your Baton Rouge home is protected by a proven fire system. Unfortunately, nearly 80% of all fires occur when those inside the house are asleep. At Custom Security Systems, we take our clients’ safety seriously and provide expert protection all year round. We offer plans that detect heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide 24/7, giving you peace of mind whether you’re at home or out and about.

Your Custom Security System links your home to our monitoring station, where we’re always ready to get in touch with the nearest fire department should the need arise. In the case of a fire, speed matters. We’re always on call—even on holidays—to make sure your home is safe.

And this peace of mind isn’t just limited to your family but your furry family members as well. If a fire starts in your home when you aren’t there, we’ll notify the fire department and you will receive an alert as well. So you can feel better knowing that someone is watching over your pets even when you’re out.

What You Can Do to Make Your Christmas Safer

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but sadly it can also be one of the most dangerous when it comes to a fire. Here are some things to look out for to keep spirits safe and bright.

  • Christmas Trees. They bring joy into our homes and really set the Christmas mood each year. But a dry tree can be flammable. So check on your tree regularly, give it plenty of water, and ensure it isn’t drying out. And artificial trees can have their own issues as well. Make sure it’s made of flame-resistant or flame-retardant material before making your selection. Also, lower your risk by keeping your Christmas tree away from sources of heat, such as fireplaces, stoves, ovens, and heaters.
  • Candles. A candlelit evening seems like the perfect way to brighten up your holiday festivities. But, they can also prove to be a huge hazard. From 2012 to 2014, candles caused 1200 fires in homes across the U.S. If you plan to light candles, never let them out of sight and keep them away from flammable materials and little ones. Also, be sure that you can get to your fire extinguisher quickly if needed.
  • Electronic Devices. It’s always exciting to find the latest gadgets and toys under the tree. But many devices these days use rechargeable batteries that need to be plugged into an outlet. And, when these batteries malfunction or overcharge, they can become incredibly hot and start fires. Remember to always keep devices and toys within view while they charge.

Enjoy Enhanced Protection This Christmas With a Custom Security Systems Fire Alarm System in Your Baton Rouge Home

There’s no place like home for the holidays, so let us keep your Baton Rouge home safe with a dependable fire alarm system and our monitoring services. Give us a call at 225-927-5535 or make an appointment for a free quote. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday from everyone at Custom Security Systems.

Smart Home Safety This Holiday Season

Alarm Systems, Cameras, Home Security, Smart Devices

With the end of the year fast approaching, time feels as if everything is kicked into high gear. But all this running around can make it harder to remain safe or even easier to make security mistakes. Our team at Custom Security Systems has your safety in mind, and that’s why we’re here to provide some important insight and offer security options to keep you and your family safe during these holiday months. Be smart when it comes to your home’s safety with help from our Baton Rouge professionals.

Integrating Security With the Holidays

Many people have their homes well defended, meaning that their security systems have numerous aspects around the house that are all necessary. With the holiday season, it’s often difficult to avoid mishaps if you aren’t careful. Our team cares about YOUR safety, and we have some helpful tips to avoid mishaps as best as possible.

Decorations are a wonderful way to bring a festive atmosphere to your home, but if you aren’t careful, they can interfere with your security system. As cameras are often tucked away or in places we hang decorations, it’s easy to accidentally obscure their sight. Ensure you know all the locations of your security cameras beforehand and then put up garlands with care.

On the other hand, you also have to consider motion detectors. The biggest issue is ensuring that these detectors aren’t covered by anything. Confirm that nothing is blocking your motion detectors, or else they won’t work correctly in an emergency. The same goes for a wreath on your front door. In the wrong place, this decoration could cover your door sensor and potentially cause issues. 

Additionally, not everyone stays home for the holidays. But with Custom Security Systems, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your home. With our app, you can ensure everything is alright wherever you are. Also, make sure that your call list is updated with valid phone numbers so if there are issues, we know how to get in touch with you. If this is out of date, it can cause problems in the future.

Lastly, be sure to put out your yard sign! The sign alone is enough to make any sensible grinch think twice about their actions. 

Making Sure Your Family Is Safe

We all want to ensure our family is safe. But with certain members of the family, such as the elderly and children, some special care is necessary. However, with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it can be hard to keep your eye on those at risk in your home. Take charge of your family’s security with help from Custom Security Systems. 

One great way to keep your family safe when you can’t be there is by utilizing a personal panic button. These buttons can be worn as necklaces, bracelets, or belt clips, which the user can press once they’re in trouble. An example of when one of these is useful is if an elderly member of the family falls, cannot get up on their own (or are hurt), and nobody else is around. By having a personal panic button, your family members have the ability to get help on their own, and can help turn a bad situation into a life-saving scenario.

Ring In the Season With Custom Security Systems!

Have any questions for us about your security or smart home items for your Baton Rouge home? Get in touch with us at 225.927.5535. We’re more than happy to help you make the right security choices for your home.

Trust in your local alarm company to keep you safe this holiday season.

Resideo Products From Your Local Alarm Company This Holiday Season

Alarm Company, Alarm Systems, Cameras, Fire Alarms, Home Security, Smart Devices

With the holiday season right around the corner, there’s a lot to look forward to. Although this is the time for giving, it’s also the time of year for heightened protection. Even during the jolliest time of year, crime doesn’t sleep and neither do we. As your local alarm company, we’re dedicated to protecting you 24/7, and we have products that help with just that. Discover more about how our Resideo products can help you stay safe this holiday season.

No Place Like (a Smart) Home for the Holidays

Statistically, a burglary happens every 25.7 seconds in the United States. With stats like that, it’s important to make sure that you’re protected. Thanks to Resideo, we have the means to protect you as best as possible.

At Custom Security Systems, safety for our customers is our top priority, which is why we offer a large array of security cameras to choose from. Resideo’s home security cameras are affordable and useful for both security and convenience. For example, setting up your outside cameras facing your front yard allows you to keep an eye out for any possible intruders, even in the nighttime, thanks to our infrared technology.

Other cameras Resideo offers include stylish and user-friendly doorbell cameras. With the holiday season rolling in, so are the delivery trucks. But that also means porch pirates are coming along for what they consider “easy pickings.” With one of Resideo’s doorbell cameras, you can monitor anyone that comes to your door, and if you’re a victim of this type of theft, a doorbell camera can help you get a good look at the people who did it. 

Another great addition to Smart Home products is the Smart Lock. With one of Resideo’s Smart Locks, you no longer need to worry about whether you locked the door or not. If you’re already on the road for the holidays, no problem. Simply go to your app and lock the door remotely. 

Prevent More Than Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

Even though it’s the coldest time of the year, fires occur more often than you might realize. But they’re not always due to the fireplace. Because of the amount of lights, nearly any place is a potential hazard for a fire, especially if you have a Christmas tree. Dried pine trees and hot LED lights are especially hazardous, which is why it’s always important to keep your tree watered and healthy. 

However, with a Resideo fire alarm system, we can help you get the situation under control. Have a monitored smoke alarm ready in your major living spaces, especially near the tree, and avoid a small mishap becoming a major holiday disaster.

Keep the Holidays Merry With Help From Resideo and Custom Security Systems

Avoid any holiday mishaps with proper care and security from your friends at Custom Security Systems and Resideo. If you have any questions about our processes or products from Resideo, we’re here to help whenever you need us. Give us a call at 225.927.5535 for more information or to receive a quote on us!

Why Upgrade To A Doorbell Camera?

Cameras, Doorbell, Smart Devices

With everyone slowly going back to the office and getting out of the house more, many worry about their home’s safety while they’re gone. But with the proper tools in place, there’s no need to worry! Whether you have an already well-guarded home or are new to home security, a doorbell camera can only add to your home’s security. But, how does a doorbell camera compare to other security options available? Find out with the pros at Custom Security Systems!

Feel Secure, Even When You’re Not Home

You might be asking, “How can a doorbell help me feel safe?” With a doorbell camera, you can safely see who is at the door from your current location, whether you’re inside the home or not. If there is ever an unwanted guest at your door, the doorbell camera is a good visual heads up.

In addition, a doorbell camera can be a great way to protect your assets. These days, we see packages and mail being stolen right off front porches. A Wi-Fi Doorbell Camera comes with a built-in motion sensor as well, so you can see if anyone comes up to your door any time of the day. Protect your assets with the right doorbell camera from Custom Security Systems. 

What Can A Doorbell Camera Do For You?

Smart technology has been making our homes easier and easier to manage, including our security. And while doorbell cameras are one of the newer features on the market, many people now swear by these products, protecting their assets and giving them peace of mind. 

At Custom Security, our doorbell camera does more so you can be as safe as possible.

  • Notifications when the doorbell rings. What if you’re not home, or you’re somewhere that you can’t hear the ring of your doorbell? With a doorbell camera, now you can know when someone is at your door.
  • Talk to visitors. With a doorbell camera, you can easily talk to visitors at your door. Even when you’re home you can tell the mailman to put the package on the porch swing. Or, you’ll be able to tell your visiting friends you’re on your way to the door. Either way, you can talk to your visitors and they’ll never know if you’re home or not.
  • Set the lights to turn on when someone presses the doorbell. With this feature, you can get a good view of whoever is on your doorstep. If someone unexpectedly shows up, you can find out who it is more easily and feel safe through and through. On the other hand, if a potential thief is at the door and the lights turn on, it can deter them.
