1. Reduces Home Insurance Premiums:
   • A security system with professional monitoring can reduce your home insurance premiums by up to 15%, depending on your carrier. Insurance companies often offer discounts because homes with security systems are less likely to experience burglaries, vandalism, or damage. These savings can offset the cost of the security system over time.

1. Prevents Burglary and Theft:
   • Homes without security systems are three times more likely to be targeted by burglars. The average loss per burglary is $2,416. By deterring burglars and increasing the chances of catching them if they do break in, a security system can save you the high costs associated with theft and property damage.
2. Lowers Energy Costs:
   • Smart security systems can include features like smart thermostats and smart lighting, which help reduce energy consumption. A smart thermostat can automatically adjust heating and cooling based on your habits, while smart lights use energy-efficient LED bulbs. These features can lead to significant savings on your energy bills.
3. Helps Prevent Water Damage:
   • Water damage is costly, with the average insurance claim amounting to $11,098. Security systems with water sensors can detect leaks early, sending alerts to your phone and control panel so you can act quickly. This helps prevent extensive damage and costly repairs.
4. Minimizes Fire Damage:
   • In the event of a fire, a monitored security system can quickly alert the fire department, even if you can’t. Early notification helps contain fires faster, reducing the extent of the damage. Additionally, Vivint’s system can automate safety measures, such as shutting off the HVAC system to slow the spread of flames or unlocking doors to aid in evacuation and access for first responders.

• Local Storage: You can use a micro-SD card, a hard drive, or other local storage options to temporarily store recordings when the camera is offline. This is particularly useful if your internet connection is unstable or intermittent.
