The Cottage Problem
Most security systems are designed for homes occupied daily. Cottages aren't. They sit empty for weeks or months. Pipes freeze. Roofs leak. HVAC fails. Wildlife gets in. By the time you find out, it's a $50,000 problem. Cottage security is about catching small problems before they become catastrophes — and giving you remote eyes when you're four hours away.
