Security & Cameras

Security system

The property uses an Abode security system. It is installed to protect the home when it is unoccupied between guest stays.

The keypad

You will see an Abode keypad near the entrance. It is there as part of the security system for when the home is between guests — during your stay it is inactive. You can ignore it entirely.

Other sensors

The system includes several types of sensors throughout the home. Each one is labeled so you can identify it if you are curious. Here is what they are and what to expect during your stay:

Glass break sensors

Detect the sound of breaking glass. Part of the security system — inactive during your stay.

Motion sensors

Detect movement in common areas. Part of the security system — inactive during your stay.

Smoke & fire sensors

These remain active throughout your stay as life-safety devices. If one sounds, treat it as a real alarm — exit the home and call 911.

Water leak detectors

Monitor for leaks near appliances and plumbing. They operate quietly in the background — you will not hear them under normal conditions.

Exterior cameras

There are six exterior cameras on the property. All cameras are outside the home. There are no cameras inside the home.

When positioning the cameras, we worked to avoid pointing any of them at windows or doors — the intent is coverage of the property perimeter and exterior areas, not surveillance of guests or guest activity.

Monitoring policy

Cameras are not actively monitored during guest stays. Footage is stored and reviewed only if there is a specific reason to do so — such as a reported incident, property damage, or a safety concern. We do not watch live feeds or review footage as a matter of routine.
