Air Bnb Security System
Hey BP!
Fellow STR investors, what security system/keypad locks have you found to be the best/easiest to use? I am investing in airbnbs out of state, so need something that I could control from my phone. Thank you in advance for your recommendations!

We have a Ring security system with outside Ring camera. We have a wifi Schlage lock. We can remotely activate the alarm when the property is vacant. We have sensors on windows and doors, plus motion in the living room. We are able to monitor the sensors to see if a guest has left the property. Occasionally a guest will leave without locking the door and we have remote lock capability. Door codes can be set based on time, so each guest has a unique code that starts at check in and expires at check out. I have had guests show up a day early or come back after check out trying to access the property. I can't imagine not having unique codes in a situation like that. We pay $99 per year for the Ring security system and they cloud store camera footage along with alarm history.
