With the use of hidden cameras, wireless alarm triggers and sensors, they won’t know what hit them. Even the voice controllers listen for breaking glass or loud noises while you are away, sending notifications and pictures directly to your phone. All of these devices can be shared to whoever you feel needs to use them, creating a network of people who you trust and can let you know if something has gone wrong while you may be unable to.
