An alarm and entry alerts tell you who opened what, and when. If someone forced a window tonight, who would hear it? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Door contacts and logs show when entry happens. - Unique keypad codes per guest end key-copy risk. - Outdoor cameras at the entrance, never inside guest areas. Quick answer Short-stay hosts need to know when doors open, protect empty properties between guests and avoid disputes. A wireless alarm with door contacts, a smart lock or keypad with unique codes, an outdoor camera at the entrance and an app that logs events gives you that. Never place cameras or recording inside guest areas; disclose any cameras clearly and follow the platform's rules and the Data Protection Act.
