Connected Car… Smart Security for your auto

Smart home security from Forest gives you peace of mind. If a problem happens at home, you’ll be sure to know—even when you’re away. If only you could have the same security for your car.

Security that would warn you about dangerous driving activity when you weren’t there. You could avert emergencies, and know that your vehicle, and the people driving it, were safe.

With Connected Car from Forest Security you can. Take a look:

It simply plugs in!

Plug Connected Car into your vehicle and it becomes an extension of your home security system. It gives you a direct connection allowing you to know its location, diagnostic status, and the behavior of its drivers. If anything goes wrong, it lets you know right away through your Forest mobile app.

Your teen started driving?

Having a new teen driver makes all parents nervous. Connected Car lets you keep a safety-conscious eye on them when they’re on the road without you.

You will receive real-time alerts for sudden acceleration, hard braking, and speeding, you’ll know for sure if your teen is driving responsibly, or if they need additional guidance to learn good driving skills.

Stay on top of maintenance to avoid emergency repairs

If you’ve ever waited at the roadside for a tow truck, you know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Connected Car provides you with maintenance alerts. Whether your fuel tank is nearly empty, you need to get your engine checked or your battery is low, you’ll be forewarned to fix the issue before it turns into a dangerous wait on the side of the road.

Protection when your car is off and parked too!

If unexpected movement occurs while your car is parked, you’ll get an alert. Even if you’re towed—or if you forget where you parked—you’ll know exactly where to find your car, thanks to Connected Car’s location tracking. It has a backup battery and a cellular signal so that it is always alert and working, even when your engine is off.

Enhance your smart home experience

It not only communicates with you. Connected Car also communicates with your home to make things more convenient.

Times, they are a changing….

We have just settled into our new routines with many of us working from home. Houses, schedules, and our lives were rearranged to accommodate work spaces. Now things are starting to open back up, and things are changing once again leaving all of us a bit nervous and anxious. It’s easy to ignore important things like staying in touch with family and friends during these busy times.

A Good Antidote

A good antidote to everyday stress is simply talking about it, according to the experts.  Staying in touch is so important these days.

Luckily, the technology of today not only protects our homes, it also helps to keep us connected to each other.

Wellcam

Forest’s Wellness Cam not only helps to check in on loved ones safety, it also helps us to keep close when we can’t be there face to face. Just because we can start gathering together safely doesn’t mean it’s not important to easily check in daily with just the push of a button.

Social Media

Another Great way to share family time is with a private family social media page on Facebook or MeWe.  This way you can share family time without the whole world looking in. No need to wait for that annual holiday letter, keep in touch all year long.

Neighbors

Many times our neighbors are just like family too. If your neighborhood doesn’t have online group, create one. It’s a good way to connect on neighborhood safety. Many times these groups have even helped locating a lost pet or even track down a package thief with their Video Door Cam.

With Forest, it’s easy to stay safe, stay well, and stay connected. Call us today.

Update Your Current System

Is your current security system a bit out of date or difficult to use? It’s time to update and upgrade to a Forest Smart Home Security System; it’s the easiest way to protect your home. Modern security systems include:

• A single mobile app to control everything, see what’s going on, and stay connected to your home.
• 24/7 Professional Monitoring keeping you safe, just in case of an emergency.
• The ability to easily add security and automation devices like outdoor cameras, doorbell cameras, and smart locks.

Let intruders they’re not welcome

Already have a Forest security system? Terrific, but will a potential intruder know?

Burglars don’t want to get caught and a house with no security system is like an open invitation. The more visible your system is, the more you’re protected. This means making sure that your yard signs are visible, front and center. Adding an outdoor security camera helps too.

Has your Forest yard sign been weathered or damaged?  Give us a call and ask about a replacement.

Get your lighting in shape for summer

You can’t always be at home—but you sure want potential intruders to think that you are. That’s why smart lights are a security essential. Ask us about adding automated lights to your system. They’re easy to add keeps intruders from being able to hide in the dark.

For extra deterrence, ask us about adding video analytics to your video package. This technology allows your security cameras to distinguish people from animals and vehicles, and trigger your outdoor lights accordingly.

Forest Security, keeping homes, families and businesses safe, season after season.

Your geofence sets up a boundary around a specific point, like your house, then triggers an event you wish to happen when you enter or exit that boundary. See what geofencing can do with your Forest FS911 system in the video below:

Say hello to the first touchless video doorbell!

It rings without requiring any contact to reduce public health risks and make home visits and deliveries safer for all. The Touchless Video Doorbell is the next generation of video doorbells, combining sleek design with some of the most advanced video intelligence available for touch-free operation. It is the latest in technology innovation.

The Touchless Video Doorbell eliminates the need to physically press a doorbell button. Anyone coming to your front door simply stands on the doormat placed at a safe distance to ring the chime. Rather than using motion detection common to other doorbell cameras, rapid and accurate person detection activates the Video Doorbell to reduce unimportant interruptions. When a person is detected, the doorbell immediately triggers the existing chime in the home, sends a mobile alert to the homeowner and starts recording a video clip. Homeowners can see and speak with visitors through the Touchless Video Doorbell’s live HD video and two-way audio instead of having to answer the door.

Help Maintain Distance

Our Touchless Video Doorbell helps homeowners and visitors alike maintain social distance and avoid encountering germs, bacteria and viruses that may exist on surfaces around the front door. Adding this touch-free solution to tour Forest Security smart home system is another way we can stay vigilant and protect one another.

As an integrated part of the Forest’s ecosystem, the Touchless Video Doorbell can automatically trigger other device activity through user-defined rules. For example, lights can turn on when the doorbell detects a person. Rapid people detection also helps ensure that inadvertent chimes are not triggered by animals, packages or other non-human objects.

The device also features:

• 150° vertical field of view that gives homeowners a full head-to-toe image of visitors and clear look at packages left on the doorstep

• Optimized portrait viewing on mobile so there’s no need to rotate the mobile device

• Full HD resolution, HDR, and infrared night vision

• Onboard heater for low temperature operation

• Live video and saved clip viewing using the Alarm.com mobile app or website

Automation is More Than a Convenience… Say you’re woken up to the sound of your fire alarm. It is a scary and confusing situation, but by this this time, your Forest Security System has already switched your thermostat to Off (so any smoke is contained),  turned on your interior lights and unlocked your front door’s lock , all so you can safely make your way through the house and quickly get outside. While you are still making your way to safety, the fire department is already on the way.

Shouldn’t you be prepared with home automation that makes sense? With the addition of devices programmed into your security system, you can have a safer, smarter home that’s simple to manage, all with your Virtual Keypad app included with every FS911 system. With a few simple steps in Custom Actions, you can count on your system to trigger devices so they all work together.

Trying to run a busy household on top of managing a busy career? Forest Security can help by automating some of your daily activities. See what television host/author/real estate expert, Egypt Sherrod,  had to say after discovering Alarm.com, the technology that Forest Security installs, services and monitors.

Egypt wanted to keep her family safe, but also noted the technology will help to make life a little simpler.

What makes Forest’s Alarm.com technology different?

Customization, you can start out small with our base package, or add as many gadgets as you wish.

“My guy told me we could start small and add more gadgets anytime” says Egypt.

“We landed on a video doorbell,  some video cameras, a remote door lock, garage control, some smart lights, a new thermostat and some sensors for our windows and doors.”

Manage and be in touch with your home from anywhere

“With my app, I can see when doors open and close, and I can lock or unlock the front door—even close the garage—from anywhere,” Egypt says.

“I can also adjust the temperature and the lights right from the same app, so there’s no pressure to remember everything when I leave in the morning, and no coming home to a cold and dark house either.”
