Hi, I'm Stephanie Duchaine here at the Seanet Smart Home in San Francisco.
We are on a mission to help people solve real world challenges with smart home technology.
We want to make it easier for people to have safer, smarter homes.
Today's challenge comes from Andrea, who has a lot of comings and goings.
Just wants to keep her home and family a bit safer.
All right, let's go meet her.

All right, Andrea, so tell me about your challenge.
Well, we both work full-time.
We have two kids in middle school, two dogs at home, so that's a lot of coming and going while we're not home.
How so?
Well, the kids get home from school while we're still at work.
We have a dog walker who visits.
Once a week we get help with cleaning the house.
We order more and more stuff from online so it feels like we're always having packages delivered.
And I hate having boxes sit out on the porch.
I just wanna know what's going on.
Who's coming and who's going.
Is everybody showing up as planned?
Can we get those boxes inside without creating another problem?
So, you're gonna wanna see who's at the door, unlock it when necessary, and you're gonna need some eyes inside the house too.
The good news is, we can definitely make this happen for you.
Awesome.
All right.
I'm gonna get the crew started.
I'll shoot you a text when we're done, and we can test this all out.
[INAUDIBLE] From smart locks and video doorbells to interior cameras, there is a lot of good tech to apply here.
We're gonna put it all together, here at the CNet smart home, and then show you the easier, simpler way to manage your home's foot traffic.

Hey, Andrea.
[LAUGH]
Come on in.
[MUSIC]
All right, I think we cooked up a nice solution to your whole revolving door challenge.
Ooh.
You ready to see this tech in action?
Mm-hm.
All right, let's start with the smart lock, paired with a door bell cam with two way audio.
And then just inside we have a camera in the entry way so that you can monitor your activity as people come and go.
Here's your dog walker.
That's not my dog walker.
That's not my dog.
[LAUGH] I know, but bear with me.
When your dog walker does arrive, he can get his own unique code that will unlock the door.
You can even set it up to get an alert when he arrives and see him as he.
He enters the house.
Okay, now this is a package delivery.
Mm hm.
They ring the bell, you get an alert.
You can see them, talk them, you can even unlock the door and watch as they put the package inside and then leave.
The app can tell you exactly when the door was unlocked and alert you if it's not relocked within a certain time.
And the best part is it can tell you when the kids get home from school.
[LAUGH].
It's locked.
And for all of this I used a simple app, and it took me about 15 minutes to get all of the various codes installed after I set up the hardware.
Pretty simple right?
Wow, I can't wait to get it set up at my place.
Speaking of which I have some goodies for you.
What?
So that you'll be able to do just that.
That's so great of you, thank you.
You.
You got it.
