Research the Device

If you are adding 3rd party smart home devices to your Security System, be sure to follow standard security protocols and best practices. Buy quality smart devices that will enable password protection, one or two-step authentication, and offer frequent over-the-air firmware and security updates.

Register the Equipment

Be sure to register each device, not only for warranty purposes – but to ensure that you are receiving any firmware updates. Updates will usually incorporate additional features and will also patch any known security issues. Most home security systems have over-the-air update capabilities.

Pay Attention to Passwords

It is necessary to change the default passwords. Use a combination of letters, cases, numbers, and symbols that would be difficult to guess.

Also, unique passwords should be used for each smart device. This blocks a hacker from acquiring access to all your sensitive accounts if your password for one is compromised.

Create a Secure Wi-Fi Network

To prevent digital intruders from disarming your system, it is very important that you protect your entire home network. Start by changing the name of the network and the default password. Pick a network name that doesn’t involve your address or any individual details.

You can set up a Wi-Fi network expressly for your smart home appliances. This will make it more challenging for hackers to access the network where you do your banking and store your sensitive information.

Consider Professional Installation

If this seems like it might be beyond your expertise level, it may make sense to invest in professional installation. My Alarm Security technicians should be able to help you incorporate some more advanced security measures.

Reset to Factory Default Settings

Before you dispose of, sell or give away any of your security system smart devices, make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s instructions to remove all of your data.
