For STR Hosts
Halstead builds Airbnb and VRBO-compliant security around exterior cameras, noise monitoring, occupancy detection, and damage documentation. Designed for hosts who manage one home or property managers running portfolios.
Airbnb's policy requires external camera disclosure and prohibits interior cameras in private spaces. Hosts need to detect parties, unauthorized guests, smoking, pets, and property damage — all while respecting platform rules and guest privacy. Generic home security wasn't built for this.
Halstead's STR tier ships with platform-compliant exterior cameras (clearly disclosed and permitted by Airbnb policy), noise level monitoring (decibel-based, no audio recording), occupancy sensors, and pre-built post-checkout inspection workflows. Property managers get a multi-property dashboard. Hosts get peace of mind without violating platform rules.
Key features
Halstead's STR tier includes exterior-only camera placement with pre-written disclosure language for Airbnb and VRBO listings. Doorbell cameras at entry, exterior pole cameras, driveway cameras — all visible and disclosed per platform requirements.
Noise sensors measure decibel levels in real-time without recording audio (which is restricted in many jurisdictions and prohibited by Airbnb's interior-camera rules). Get alerts when noise exceeds set thresholds — common for parties.
Get alerts if occupancy exceeds your booking count. Useful for detecting unauthorized parties, extra guests, or unlisted long stays.
Post-checkout, get an automated inspection report comparing pre-checkin and post-checkout camera angles. Damage documentation built in. Helpful for Airbnb resolution disputes.
STR property managers running multiple listings get a single dashboard showing all properties, current bookings, alert status, and inspection reports. Filter by city, listing, or booking status.
Integrate with Schlage Encode, August, Yale, Igloohome, and other smart lock systems for automatic guest code generation and revocation.

Yes — and they need to. Airbnb requires hosts to disclose all surveillance equipment in the listing. Halstead provides pre-written disclosure language compliant with Airbnb policy that you can copy directly into your listing's house rules and amenities.
Yes, through a combination of noise level monitoring (decibel-based, no audio recording) and occupancy detection. Halstead's STR tier sends alerts when noise exceeds your set thresholds or when more people are detected than your booking count would suggest.
Halstead automatically generates pre-checkin and post-checkout snapshots from your exterior cameras. If a guest causes property damage, you have time-stamped photos showing the property's condition before and after their stay — useful evidence for Airbnb resolution claims.
