Stay Safe This Season: 5 Smart Home Devices to Protect Your Home While You Travel
The holiday season often means time with family, long-distance trips, and festive celebrations. But while you’re making memories away from home, one important question remains: How do you ensure your home stays safe and secure while you’re gone?
In the past, professional security installations were the primary option — and they are still effective. However, today’s smart technology makes it easier and more affordable than ever to build your own home security ecosystem tailored to your needs.
As Nigeria’s trusted provider of security and automation solutions, Trends Ventures Limited has highlighted five essential smart home devices that can keep your home protected — no matter where the holidays take you.
1. Security Cameras – Your Eyes on Every Corner
A smart security camera should be your first line of defense. The best outdoor cameras let you monitor every angle of your home in real time. Many modern models come with built-in spotlights or floodlights that help deter intruders and give you better visibility at night.
Indoor cameras are equally important. Not only do they alert you if someone enters your home, but they also help you check on pets or monitor vulnerable rooms. With built-in speakers, you can communicate instantly — even telling your pets to get off the couch!
2. Video Doorbell – Know Who’s at Your Door, Anytime
Smart video doorbells go far beyond simple notifications. They let you see, hear, and speak to anyone at your front door from anywhere in the world.
Advanced models also include package detection — a must-have during the holiday delivery rush. AI-powered alerts can even notify you if someone attempts to steal a package before you get home.
3. Smart Locks – Control Access with Confidence
If you’re expecting dog walkers, house sitters, or guests while you’re away, a smart lock is a game-changer. You can:
Create unique access codes
Set schedules for when visitors can enter
Receive instant notifications when your door is unlocked
Higher-end models even feature fingerprint or palm recognition and can be controlled from your Apple Watch or smartphone. No more hiding spare keys under the doormat.
4. Smart Smoke Detectors – Real-Time Alerts for Emergencies
Whether it’s a forgotten appliance or an unexpected electrical fault, fire safety is critical. A smart smoke detector alerts you instantly when smoke, fire, or carbon monoxide is detected.
If you’re not ready to replace all your smoke alarms, some smart speakers can listen for traditional alarm sounds and send you immediate notifications.
5. Water Leak Detectors – Stop Flooding Before It Starts
With colder temperatures approaching, frozen pipes become a real risk. A burst pipe can flood your home long before you return.
Smart water leak detectors monitor for:
Leaks
Sudden temperature drops
Changes in humidity
This allows you to tackle issues early — saving time, money, and stress.
