Key Features Every Cottage Security System Needs

July 11, 2022 by Anas Mustafa

There are a lot of great things about owning a cottage! You’ve always have a place to go for summer vacation without worrying about making reservations. Whether you’re looking for a place to get together with friends or host your extended family for a summer getaway, a cottage is lovely to have.

If you’re a cottage owner, your cottage is likely uninhabited for at least part of the year, which means it can be a desirable target for thieves. A security alarm system is one of the best ways to discourage thieves from breaking into your cottage.

At Canadian Security Professionals, we know everything there is to know about installing a great security system.

This blog will discuss the most important security features to focus on when you’re looking to guarantee your cottage is protected all year round.

Sensors Protect the Perimeter of Your Cottage

Several different types of sensors can be part of a cottage security system that helps protect your summer vacation spot. The following are three of the most popular types:

Window and door sensors: These small sensors immediately notify your security system if a door or window is opened or closed.
Glass break detectors: This wireless sensor detects if a window is cracked or broken.
Motion detectors: These can detect if someone is in your cottage when you are not there.

If any of these sensors are set off, both you and the monitoring centre for your security alarm system will immediately be notified.

Video Cameras Let You Check in Remotely

Another feature that your home security should include is video cameras. You can choose to install cameras both inside and outside:

Outside cameras: point outdoor security cameras at areas that a burglar is most likely to try to break through, such as your front and back doors or a secluded window.
Inside cameras: Ensure any indoor cameras are pointing at areas that a thief would immediately enter after breaking into your cottage.
These points may include the master bedroom or any room where valuable electronic equipment may be kept, such as a living room or rec room.

Video cameras can help you see exactly what’s going on, so you know whether someone has broken in or you’ve just got a persistent mouse who has decided to settle into your cottage for the winter!

A Smart Doorbell Provides Two Layers of Protection

You may think that a smart doorbell camera isn’t necessary at your cottage. After all, you don’t get many people dropping by unexpectedly!

However, a smart doorbell can be an essential part of the security alarm system at your cottage. When you have a smart video doorbell, you’re immediately alerted if someone rings it, and you can speak to them using the two-way speaker.

In addition, a smart video doorbell can provide you with live video footage, so you can see exactly what is happening outside your cottage even though you’re not there!

Having a smart doorbell is a great way to help protect your cottage, especially if you have no additional security cameras.
