发帖数: 20761 | 2 Choosing A Smart Home Security System
Published May 31, 2017 | By admin
More and more people are turning their homes into smart homes. What once was
seen as an extravagant luxury for the wealthy has now become accessible and
affordable for nearly all homeowners.
While there are many ways to upgrade, smart home security seems to be the
top priority for most home owners. Aside from protecting your home from
burglars, fires, and other potential threats, you may also benefit from
smart home security by getting rebates or special discounts from insurance
companies.
Advances in technology have enabled smart home security manufacturers to
offer varying levels of home security systems at different price points.
Here’s how you can protect your home, from basic to advanced features.
If You Are On A Strict Budget…
At the bare minimum, smart home security starts with a camera. Smart
security cameras can provide footage to identify burglars after the crime
has been committed or can alert owners when unauthorized activity is
detected, allowing burglars to be caught in the act. These cameras not only
offer security for your home, but can be used as baby monitors and nanny
cams. Special features may include the ability to differentiate between
human and pets to prevent false alarms, as well as two-way audio to enable
communication with anyone in the room
As beneficial as a one-camera setup can be, there are also limitations. The
first and most obvious limitation being that one camera can only cover one
room. Also, you must actively monitor the feed to maintain security. If you
would like a system that needs less attention, you may want to explore other
, more advanced options.
If You Are Looking For More Comprehensive Home Security…
You will want to look for a home security system that addresses the
different ways your home security can be breached. Additional security
components include motion sensors, door and window sensors, and surveillance
signs.
Motion sensors are installed on walls to detect movement through an infrared
sensor. If you have pets, you can adjust the height to avoid false alarms.
Door and window sensors are attached accordingly and either sound an alarm
and/or alert your device when these are opened.
While it’s not exactly smart technology, surveillance signs can help to
deter burglars from even targeting your home. If deciding between a home
with or without a security system, burglars will likely choose the latter
because there’s less of a risk of getting caught.
If You Want A Highly Sophisticated Home Security System…
For around-the-clock surveillance of your home, you may want to invest in a
security company that offers monitoring services for a monthly fee. While
the hardware is almost the same as the aforementioned systems, when the
alarm is triggered, the security company is notified and they assess the
danger and alert the necessary authorities. Since you may not have your
phone or device available at all times (ex. movies, traveling), this service
can come in very handy.
There are plenty of DIY and professional smart home security solutions on
the market today. Which one is your system of choice? Share with us on
