The Best Controlled Smarthomes Use URC Technology
What is a Smarthome?
Smarthomes are homes with brains.
They ‘think’ and take action on your behalf. Of course, unlike human brains, the brains of a smarthome consist of a powerful computer system of sorts.
Smarthomes make your life easier.
Almost any recurring task in your home can be automated without you touching anything!
Think about all the daily, weekly recurring tasks you perform.
- Locking and unlocking doors and windows
- Garage door – open and closing
- Thermostat and temperature regulation
- Window shades
- Turning lights on and off
- Alarm system activation and deactivation
- Music, video streaming and home theater
- Your morning brew…!
The possibilities are endless, really endless.
However, here is the truth: all smarthomes and all smarthome technology is not create equal!
Any smarthome is only as ‘smart’ as its brains, of course.
We at Strand Security in Murrells Inlet serve both Horry County and Georgetown County and have been installing smarthome technology in Grand Strand homes for years. We customize each home to the owners liking and needs.

How To Give Your Home a Voice
If Only The Walls Could Talk…
Is that what we are referencing when we say “Give your home a voice?”
Not at all!
We don’t want anyone to know your secrets. Security means home security, cyber security as well as home safety. We don’t want anyone to get to you, your assets or your family.
Whether you live in a large metropolitan area or on the Grand Strand in the Myrtle Beach area like we do, we’ve got something else in mind when we talk about ‘giving your home a voice’!
Introducing Hands Free Voice Control!
How convenient would it be to be able to ‘talk’ to your home and for things to ‘magically’ happen?
“Turn on the lights”
“Close the blinds”
“Turn on the TV”
“Lock the garage door”
“Arm the security system”
Better yet, you can create sequences that will do it all – with one simple command.
For example;
‘Wake up’ ➡️ your system might raise the shades, adjust your thermostat and turn off lights! or
‘Bed time’ ➡️ your system might lock your doors, arm your system, adjust your thermostat and turn on outside lights.
How can you get in on this awesomeness?!
