Enhancing Home Security: The Latest Innovations in Entry Door Technology

In the rapidly advancing world of home improvement, even the humble entry door has seen innovations that have made it a more functional and secure part of homes. Gone are the days of the simple deadbolt and set of keys.

These transformations offer a range of innovative features to enhance safety and peace of mind. Centennial Home Improvement has seen the rapid rise of these innovations and is working to help homeowners use new technologies to their advantage. So, how has the entry door suddenly become cool?

Smart Locks: The New Foundation of Modern Security

The smartphone has changed the game regarding a personalized approach to living. This thought process now extends to home security with smart locks designed to be opened in several different ways.

Many smart locks come with a number pad that you can use to engage or disengage the lock. Input a keycode selected by you into the lock, and your lock will open easily. However, it goes further than that now.

Many new smart locks offer biometrics to engage the system. What was once a cool thing you saw in movies is now affordable and dependable. These biometric systems allow you to unlock your door using a fingerprint scanner.

Smart locks can also be engaged with a smartphone or smart home devices from Google and Amazon. Imagine a world where you’re at work and remember you left the door unlocked. Thanks to your smartphone, you can now lock your door sitting at your desk! You can also utilize your existing smart home systems to set schedules that lock your door at specific times.

Whatever your need, a smart lock has become an indispensable part of modern security systems.

Video Doorbells: An Extra Eye on Your Entryway

Even the doorbell is not immune to the march of technology. What used to be a simple bell can now provide you with a live look at your entryway from anywhere you are located. Your peephole is old news. Modern video doorbells offer a sophisticated surveillance solution that integrates seamlessly into daily life.

Doorbell cameras from companies like Google and Amazon work in several ways. The camera often activates from the moment the doorbell is pressed. However, many doorbell cameras can now send push notifications to your phone the moment motion is detected.

These devices can also save footage in the cloud, allowing you access at any time – especially if you need the footage for law enforcement.

But believe it or not, these cameras also provide plenty of deterrence by their mere presence. After all, if a would-be burglar sees a camera on your property, they are less likely to target your home.

Access Control Systems: An Added Layer of Security

Security systems themselves have gotten a makeover with the advent of newer technologies. These access systems can help homeowners gain additional control over who enters their homes and even when!

Like a computer administrator, access systems can give potential guests or permanent residents unique rights over when and if they can enter the home.

Of course, these systems can be integrated into existing smart home systems or with your smartphone. Homeowners can create a comprehensive security solution that offers convenience and peace of mind. For example, access control systems can be programmed to automatically lock or unlock doors based on predefined schedules or user permissions.

Access control systems provide unparalleled convenience and flexibility by seamlessly integrating with other components of a home security ecosystem. You can’t forget the ultimate benefit: peace of mind.
