Airbnb Safety and Security Gadgets (Updated 2020)

Security Product Overview

 

Home security has been available for years; almost every home has implemented one security measure, whether it is an alarm system or motion detector or just the traditional fences that restrict burger. Unfortunately, these conventional security measures can be easily be bypassed, and the alarm is often annoying to neighbours especially if it often gets triggered by false elements. With the sharing economy such as Airbnb on its peak, these traditional security measures have become almost unnecessary. Things are getting more complicated, and it is important for homeowners & hosts to adapt to current changes when it comes to security.

As the smartphone has converged communication and computing into one, the ability to check in the security of your home is not a dream. It’s a reality; one can now access their home security status from anywhere across the globe. Using current technology, the entire hours and family are completely protected with all types of dangers be, it burglary, fire, freezing, flood or simple break-in.

Before purchasing any surveillance devices make sure you check Airbnb’s latest rules.

Noiseaware Reviewed

Since the introduction of Airbnb, the number of short term rental has skyrocketed all across the globe and so has the chance of noisy tenants. As a result, agents and owners have become subject to noise fines and restriction for many violations. For this reason, Krauss and Schulz invented Noiseaware, a noise tracking software and a device that distinguished normal noise from guest and true nuisance and alert the rental owners with a text message. The software can customize quiet hours, the noise threshold and can prioritize alert.

The device simply connects with the home WiFi, detects noise levels and the number of wireless devices, and sends the noise data to you, and ultimately alerting you when there is a risky situation on your rental. For instance, whether there is a party taking place or any other unwanted nuisance. The device is easy to set up; users only need to connect it with the property WiFi. When noise threshold is violated, the message is received at an instant and ultimately sending the tenants a heads up, thus resolving the issue immediately.
