A villa in Tuscany. A yacht in the Caribbean. Wherever your travels take you, one thing you should never bring with you is worries about your Redondo Beach home’s security. But leaving your home unoccupied for weeks or months can be unsettling. Even in a safe area like Redondo Beach, affluent homes become targets when it’s obvious no one’s around​. 

With local property values averaging $1.23 million​ and homeowners enjoying high incomes and lifestyles, there’s much at stake if something goes wrong during your absence. Americans with household incomes over $150k take nearly five times more vacation days than the average​ American, meaning more time away and more need for robust protection at home.

The good news? A modern home security system can watch over your property 24/7 so you can enjoy extended vacations without a second thought. Today’s high-end security solutions offer peace of mind by keeping a vigilant guard over your residence. Jet off on a month-long trip knowing your home is effectively under the care of a personal, digital security team.

Smart Home Security: Your 24/7 Guardian on Duty

What makes a modern security system so effective for travelers is the suite of advanced features working together to safeguard your estate. These tools act as your 24/7 eyes, ears, and hands on your property.  

• Watch From Anywhere:  Check live camera feeds, arm or disarm the alarm, and get instant notifications no matter where you are​. While sipping coffee in a cafe in Paris, pull up your phone to find everything at home exactly as it should be. If a sensor triggers, you know immediately and can act on it remotely or call for help within seconds, rather than discovering an incident days later.
  
  

• Automatic Deterrents: The best systems make your home look “lived in” even when it’s not. For instance, you can set a vacation mode that randomly turns lights on and off inside and outside the house to mimic your normal routines​. Motorized shades might open in the morning and close at night, and your smart irrigation can run as usual. From the street, your absence is practically invisible. If someone does approach, motion-activated floodlights and smart cameras will kick in to send a loud-and-clear message: this home is protected. 
  
  

• Secure Access & Two-Way Communication: Lock or unlock doors remotely via an app and grant temporary codes. Say a housekeeper or dog-sitter needs to get in on Tuesday—you can let them in with a tap on your phone and lock up after. Meanwhile, your video doorbell sends you a live feed whenever someone rings or approaches, and you can talk to them through a two-way intercom. Whether it’s a delivery driver or a friend checking on the house, you remain virtually present. All entry activity is logged, so you have a record of exactly who came and went.
  
  

• All-Around Environmental Protection: Wireless sensors detect smoke and carbon monoxide and can alert you and the authorities of a fire even if you’re thousands of miles away. Leak detectors can catch a burst pipe or roof leak early and send an alert before water damage ravages your interiors. 
  
  

All these technologies work together through a single, user-friendly app​ that serves as a command center for your home in the palm of your hand. Instead of piecemeal gadgets, you have a cohesive system acting as a tireless guardian.
