When you start your own business, there's plenty to keep you awake at night.
Did we choose the best location? How can we reach more customers? How are things looking at the business right now—as in: right now, at 10:30 PM?
When she opened beauty and skincare boutique Ivy Wild, Washington D.C. business owner Rachel Mulcahy worried about all of the above. After having a full suite of Alarm.com for Business security technology installed, however, Rachel found it easy to put security concerns to bed.
"With Alarm.com, it takes maybe five seconds to check in," Rachel says. "I don't have to wonder what's happening at the store. I can just know."
Here's how Alarm.com helps Rachel protect and run her business.
Smart alerts and video feeds keep Rachel in the know With smart security cameras inside and outside Ivy Wild, Rachel can have a 360° view of what's happening anytime—no matter where she is. Her Alarm.com for Business app lets her quickly view a live feed from any camera, or find a recorded video clip of something that happened earlier. "I feel like I can be at the store even when I'm not at the store," she says. "I can tap my app's video button and see the store indoors and out." Alarm.com also offers Rachel an array of notification options for keeping up with important activity. "I get a notification when the store is closed up and secure." she says. "I can get an alert if the store doesn't open on time. Alarm.com lets me know who arrived, and when. And if I get a notification that something is wrong, I can open my app and see exactly what's happening." Related: "Being in control means knowing what's happening. That's what Alarm.com gives me." Smart safeguards protect Ivy Wild's inventory
Ivy Wild carries high-quality cosmetics and products that could make an attractive target for thieves. Rachel rests easier knowing that her security system is professionally monitored. In the event of a break-in, local police will be alerted without Rachel needing to act. Additionally, Alarm.com offers Ivy Wild a range of automated safeguards to protect different aspects of the store. "For example, I'm not always here at the end of the day to lock up," Rachel says. "So, I have an Alarm.com rule that locks our smart lock, automatically, every day at closing time. Even Ivy Wild's smart thermostat helps protect things. "It would be a problem if the store got too hot," Rachel says. "We don't want our cosmetics getting overheated; it could degrade the quality. Fortunately, I can see and control the temperature from anywhere with my Alarm.com app. If things get too warm, I'll get a temperature alert. It's amazing to have Alarm.com take care of these things." Managing access for employees is easy—and more secure
Ivy Wild has four part-time employees, who all need to access the store at different times. With Alarm.com's smarter access control, that's easy. "I can quickly set up access for a new employee," says Rachel. "I go into my Alarm.com dashboard, set them up with a keycard, then specify the times and days on which they have access to the store. If anyone forgets their card—although it hasn't happened yet—I can unlock the door remotely with my app." Related: "With keyless access, Alarm.com for Business makes my life easier." As Ivy Wild grows, Rachel expects to rely on Alarm.com even more. "If we open another location, I'll want the same technology there," she says. "Being able to manage employee access for two stores, side by side, with each store's video feeds and activity alerts too, would be huge." "This is a security system but it does so much more," says Rachel. "I consider it an essential business tool—something every owner should have." Want Alarm.com for your business?

At least it's "Mostly Sunny"
How close have your home's water pipes come to freezing this winter?
Not sure? That's understandable—after all, pipes tend to be out of sight and out of mind.
Until there's a big freeze, that is. That's when thousands of homeowners find themselves dealing with burst pipes and big cleanup bills. As pipes freeze up, the water inside expands as it turns to ice, splitting the pipe or causing joints to loosen. When the ice melts, the washout begins.
Mid-winter is prime-time for this expensive home repair emergency. If you don't shut off your water supply quickly, cleanup costs can cascade into thousands of dollars.
The good news is that Reed Security Smart Home has a number of very smart, proactive safeguards to protect your home and your wallet from water damage.
1: TEMPERATURE ALERTS
An Alarm.com-powered temperature sensor in your basement or crawlspace can give you early awareness of an imminent winter washout.
Connected wirelessly to your Alarm.com smart thermostat, this sensor can give you an instant temperature reading via your Alarm.com app. It can also trigger a smartphone alert if the temperature drops to a dangerous low, giving you advance warning that you need to deploy a space heater or take other emergency measures. 2: WATER SENSORSIf a pipe does freeze and burst, you need to know as quickly as possible. An Alarm.com-powered water sensor is the tool for the job. Installed on your basement or crawlspace floor, this sensor triggers a smartphone alert when it detects a leak, enabling you can spring into action and shut off your water supply. If you're far from home, you can use your front door's smart lock to let a trusted neighbor or plumber in to do the job. 3: AUTOMATIC WATER SHUT-OFFThe smartest solution of all is a proactive safeguard in which Alarm.com can automatically shut off your home's water. When a water sensor detects a leak, Alarm.com's platform triggers a water shutoff valve attached to your water supply, immediately preventing further flooding. If you're away from home often, or own a second home, this is the ideal water defense for your home and your peace of mind. WANT TO PREVENT A WINTER WASHOUT? With connected sensors, instant alerts and powerful home automation, Alarm.com is the smartest way to protect your home and family from winter weather and much more. If you're not an Alarm.com-powered homeowner yet, contact Reed Security for a no obligation smart home security evaluation.
