When noises are detected, the system sends a notification to your mobile phone or smartwatch. The system will ask you if the sound is alarming or an emergency. You can have Alexa call the emergency services on behalf of you if it's an alarm.

Alexa Guard's security system can be free and serves basic home security. It can hear sounds such as glass breaking or CO2 alarms. You can also have smart lighting connected to Alexa. It can also link with security systems, giving you peace of mind even when you're not there.

How To

How to test your home security system

How to test a Home Security System

The first step is to install your alarm monitoring software on your computer. You should download the latest version from the manufacturer's website. Next, create your phone number in order to have monitoring center calls routed to your telephone. If you don't know what to do, contact your local provider for help. Now you can start testing once everything is in place.

There are two main ways to test your system. First, you can use a fake device. It is a fake device that appears to be the real thing. Although it has all the same features of the real thing, it doesn't actually function. You can turn it on and it will sound exactly the same as the real thing. A dummy device comes with some limitations. It doesn't provide any information about the system's actual functionality. A second concern is that it could look suspicious to those who just happen to be looking at it. Finally, it could cause problems if it gets stolen.

Another method is to manually test your system. This is where you examine every part of your system to ensure that it functions properly. You would check, for example, whether the motion sensors are working, the cameras are recording properly, and if the door locks work. Make sure that you test all of these things at least once per week. Once everything is tested thoroughly, you will be able to feel confident that the system is working properly.
