5 Simple Habits for a Safer, Smarter Home Entry
We all want to feel safe in the place we call home. Whether you're coming back from work late at night or traveling across the country, knowing your front door is secure brings peace of mind that no smart device alone can fully replace.
At YECO, we believe security isn't just about technology—it's about how you use it. That’s why we’ve put together five simple but effective habits to help you feel more in control of your space, no matter where you are.
1. Check Notifications, Even When You Know Who It Is
It might feel unnecessary to look at the app when you know it's just a delivery or a family member. But making a habit of checking notifications trains your awareness and gives you a full picture of what happens around your front door.
2. Use Two-Way Talk, Especially When You're Away
A voice can be powerful. Greeting a visitor—or even just letting them know you're watching—can be enough to deter unwanted behavior. Whether you're in the house or halfway across the country, your voice lets people know this home is looked after.
3. Position Your Doorbell for Maximum Coverage
Sometimes a small adjustment in height or angle can give your device a better view. Make sure your smart doorbell captures not only who’s right in front of it, but also packages left on the ground or motion from a few steps away.
4. Don’t Just Watch—Review
It takes less than a minute a day to scroll through your doorbell’s activity log. Reviewing events helps you catch patterns you might otherwise miss, and ensures that your device is working properly and your notifications are on point.
5. Share Access Thoughtfully
If someone else in your household needs access, make sure they understand how to use the device—and when. It keeps your household coordinated and prevents accidental disabling or privacy risks.
At the end of the day, technology is only as smart as how we use it. When paired with consistent habits and a little awareness, your YECO smart video doorbell becomes more than a device—it becomes part of your peace of mind.
Stay safe,
