As you notice the tail wagging when you open the front door, you know why you always wanted a dog for your [[targerlocation]] family. However, quite a few animals can trigger sensors on different types of home security systems. And it seems that the larger your dog is, the more likely they could cause a false alarm. So wouldn't it be helpful if there was a dog-friendly alarm system in Virginia Beach?

If you share your home with a dog, you ought to consider the various benefits included in Vivint’s alarms and cameras. First, you may rework the sensors to exclude areas where your animals typically roam. Second, utilize your indoor video cameras with high definition night vision and motion detection capacity to always have eyes on your furry housemates. Finally, your dog-friendly alarm system ought to be easy to interact with so you are able to quickly engage and disengage your property’s security as you need.

Program your sensors to account for dogs

Today's door, window, and motion sensors are more capable of adapting to pets than before. Small dogs or cats should have no issue avoiding an inadvertent tripping of the sensor, as the system will adjust accordingly. More sizable dogs and exuberant animals may have a greater chance of causing false alarms, but you may decrease that risk with a few changes on the Vivint mobile app.

  • Adjust the motion detection sensitivity to low. You can also adjust the size of the perimeter of the motion detector.
  • Position detectors away from heavily traveled areas, like a pet’s preferred sleeping place or feeding area.
  • Deactivate your alarms via your cell phone app before you pull in the driveway -- specifically if your pet has a tendency to leap toward the door or window when you're walking in.
  • Program a smart bulb to illuminate to relax an uneasy animal after the sun goes down.

Having the ability to handle these adjustments makes Vivint the best pet-friendly home security system in Virginia Beach.

Use your indoor security cameras to see what’s going on with your dog

Indoor surveillance systems with 2-way talk are an excellent way for pet parents to soothe their four-legged companions while at work or vacation through your intuitive smartphone app. Your surveillance devices will even provide a video feed of your pet in lower levels of light in full high-def, so you’re able to see what is transpiring in the common areas without leaving the bed. In the event your surveillance devices detect abnormal activity, you are able to have a short video segment dispatched to your cell phone to ascertain if it's your animal or an intruder.

Your Vivint surveillance systems are also nice options for dogs with anxiety. If you observe them beginning to act up, talk to them by using the camera's speaker. They will hear your voice and realize that it’s all right. In addition, if you discover that they are troubled in a storm, you may remotely activate a smart bulb to make the scene less alarming.

The best dog-friendly home security system in Virginia Beach is a breeze to operate

All of the pet-friendly controls are awesome, but they wouldn't benefit you all that much if they were a challenge to operate. The nice thing about a smart home system like Vivint's is that all your features are both on your smart hub and your mobile security app. Go ahead and set your devices around your family's lifestyle -- and don’t forget your dogs! All that is needed is a few button taps and you have your entire system set up and ready to go.
