Vacation Home Monitoring & Remote Control
Vacation Home Monitoring & Automation Systems
Monitors & Controls For Your Vacation Home
New technology allows for more than just security. You can view and control your vacation home from a distance. You can set the thermostat to stay cool while your away, and raise the temperature right through your web browser or telephone so it'll be warm and toasty when you arrive. You can check the weather at your vacation home. You can monitor for plumbing leaks, low temperatures, security and much more. The largest selection of home automation and monitoring systems and devices can be found at SmartHome.
Check out the system below, designed to save energy. The Energy Saver package focuses on providing additional relay based products and a thermostat interface. By managing the time your lights and HVAC units are running you can significantly decrease the amount of money you spend on utilities. Also included are dimmable and On/Off switches, plug-in modules and keypads that give you the ability to customize the ramp rate, brightness level of dimmable lights and set timers for any individual or group of lights and appliances.
For complete control, SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller allows any web-enabled mobile device to control or create timers for INSTEON devices or scenes from inside your home, in the backyard, at work, in the car or on vacation halfway around the world! To take advantage of this new technology, Smarthome is throwing in a free iPod Touch, putting a remote control touch screen in the palm of your hands.
Many controls and sensors use X10 communication that feed back to the control panel. SmartHomes provides a powerful system that you can add onto, controlling everything from sensors and remote cameras, to your surround sound home theater, all from your armchair, or even from the web. A lot of the major security companies will also provide similar options, install it for you, and provide certain fire, police and emergency monitoring for a monthly payment.
The major difference is the larger companies will require a contract for a specific period of time, and provide central monitoring and lines to police, fire and emergency. Generally, when the contract term is completed, you'll also own the equipment. When you buy your own system, you pay up front. But you can customize as you like, buy a system with access through the internet or a cellular phone, and do a lot more than just home monitoring with it. You can actually automate your home.
If you're handy and somewhat savvy with technical gadgets, try Smart Home's monitoring system below. Wireless components are available for easy installations. This system is also a web server, so you can monitor everything in your vacation home from anywhere in the world using a web browser.

Video & Audio Monitoring Systems
You don't need x10 communication for these video monitoring systems, perfect for your vacation home. Many of these systems are web ready, so you can monitor your vacation home over the internet from hundreds of miles away. You can even see what the weather's like, or determine if someone's been in your vacation home without your knowledge or consent. Many of these systems will hold 40 days or more of constant video.
As an added bonus, you can film the wildlife around your vacation home, or set a camera towards a certain view that you always enjoy when you're relaxing at your vacation home on the lake, at the ocean, in the mountains or out in the wilderness (as long as you have an internet connection at your second home).
