Home Security Systems
in South Lake Tahoe, CA

South Lake Tahoe has a unique security challenge: a large percentage of properties are vacation homes, short-term rentals, or second residences that sit unoccupied for extended periods. An empty home is a more attractive target — and at Tahoe, empty homes are common.

Remote monitoring and real-time smartphone alerts let you know the moment something happens at your Tahoe property — whether you're back in Reno, Sacramento, or the Bay Area.

• Remote viewing — live camera feeds from your phone, anywhere
• Instant alerts — notified the moment a sensor triggers
• 24/7 Brinks monitoring — dispatches emergency services without waiting for your response
• Smart locks — manage access remotely for guests and rental tenants
• Flood sensors — catch pipe leaks before they become disasters

South Lake Tahoe sees elevated property crime during shoulder seasons — the quieter periods between peak ski and summer seasons when fewer people are around. Vehicle break-ins at trailheads and resort parking are common. Residential burglaries spike when properties sit visibly unoccupied.

Short-term rental hosts have an additional concern: verifying that guests haven't caused damage or left doors unlocked. Integrated cameras and smart locks let you monitor and manage your rental remotely.

South Lake Tahoe's Airbnb and VRBO market is extensive. Security systems have become a standard amenity guests expect — and platforms increasingly require exterior camera disclosure. A properly installed system actually increases your rental's appeal while protecting your investment.

Scott installs systems designed for properties with rotating occupants — guest access codes, remote lock management, and cameras covering entries without intruding on guest privacy.

• Smart lock codes — unique per guest, remotely revokable
• Exterior cameras — entry coverage with no interior monitoring
• Flood sensors — catch leaks between guest stays
• Low-temperature sensors — alerts if heating fails and pipes are at risk
• Remote arm/disarm — manage your system from anywhere
