5 Mistakes Homeowners Make with Smart Security Systems

void these common errors to ensure your smart home system protects you effectively:

1. Ignoring Software Updates

Failing to update firmware and apps leaves you vulnerable to bugs and hackers.

2. Poor Camera Placement

Cameras should cover chokepoints like doors, windows, and driveways—not your ceiling.

3. Overcomplicating Controls

Make sure your household members understand how to arm/disarm systems quickly.

4. Reusing Weak Passwords

One bad password could compromise your entire system. Use a password manager.

5. Forgetting About Privacy

Don’t aim indoor cameras at private spaces like bathrooms or bedrooms.
