Because of how effective technology can be at preventing home break-ins, many people are willing to spend a small fortune on it. Our homes are our private spaces, retreats from the world if you like, somewhere that you don’t want being breached by an intruder. And so, it’s only natural that a lot of us are willing to invest in security for them. The question is, to prevent a break in, in your home, what are the best and most effective pieces of tech to use?
Intruder alarm
Once upon a time, an intruder alarm was simply that, an alarm. If the door was open and code not put in promptly enough, the alarm would sound. Today, however, intruder alarms are so much more than that. All the best makes and models, such as Yale alarms, for instance, come with advanced technology installed. This includes things like motion sensors and alarms that sound at the slightest noise. As well as being able to link them to your phone so that should the alarm go off, you are instantly contacts. Most intruder alarms are now also wireless which is great, as the old-fashioned models could be easily disabled by cutting the wires.
Wireless home security cameras
One of the best advancement in home security technology is in terms of security cameras. In the past few years, security cameras have been developed to offer the highest levels of home security. All the best systems come with built-in technology that can tell the difference between a passerby and someone trying to break in. These cameras then alert you via smartphone, so that you’re able to take the appropriate steps, such as calling the police. You can even live stream the camera footage to your smartphone so that you can have a good look at what’s going on. To find the best wireless home security camera system for your home, it’s just a case of looking around. There are so many to choose from, that you need to take the time to find the one that’s most suited to your needs.
Video door bell
Many thieves are opportunists; they check if a property is empty and then if it is, opt to break in. By installing a video doorbell, when someone rings on the door, you will get a call to your phone. This will be a live video stream that allows you to have a face to face conversation with the person at your door. You can even opt to snap a picture of them if you’re concerned about your home’s security. The great thing about video doorbells is that wherever you are, you can see who’s trying to gain access to your home.
Technology can do so many things; it’s something that really has revolutionized the way that we live.
