Smart Home Access and Safety (76 items found)

Today's smart home devices come in many forms, from thermostats to lighting controllers and electrical outlets to intelligent cooking devices. But one of the most popular and effective uses of smart technology is for boosting your home's security. The smart lock selection here at Ace provides an excellent foundation to build your intelligent security system around.

Should I Use a Smart Deadbolt?

Regular keyed deadbolts are a great first step toward creating robust security, but a smart Wi-Fi deadbolt takes home access control to a whole new level. A Wi-Fi lock makes it easy to monitor and control your deadbolt through smartphone apps, computer software or advanced voice recognition. It hooks directly into your home network with no hub or bridge required.

Are Wi-Fi Deadbolts Safe?

As well as using your smart home system to open and close the lock remotely, many Wi-Fi deadbolt models let you set up dozens of unique access codes for family members and trusted friends, giving you secure and adaptable control over ongoing and temporary access. All communications between the lock and the smart home system are encrypted for enhanced security, and an in-built alarm system can send you an alert if an intruder tries to override or disable the smart deadbolt system.

Secure Access with a Smart Garage Door Opener

A garage door can be a weak point of home security, often lacking the robust door hardware of a main or side entrance. After installing a smart lock system in the rest of your home, it's important to upgrade your garage to the same standard. Ace’s smart garage door opener range includes full solutions that can power various kinds of garage doors. If you don’t want a complete overhaul, you can even find smart additions that add extra control features to your existing garage door mechanism.

What Can a Smart Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener Do?

With a smart Wi-Fi garage door opener, you can open and close your garage using a dedicated smartphone app, limiting its use only to authorized family members. As an added layer of security, most smart garage door opener systems can send text alerts when unusual activity is detected. More advanced models can even use an integrated video camera to stream footage of any potential intruder, storing the video for future evidence if necessary.

What’s more, our Wi-Fi garage door opener devices connect seamlessly to your wireless home network and include fail-safe features to allow safe opening and closing if there's a power outage, along with long-lasting battery backup to ensure the system remains fully operational when you need it most.
