Using a smart home security system can help to give you the much-needed peace of mind that you, your home and your belongings are as safely protected as they could possibly be. It actually has an added benefit, though: a smart security system will add value to your home and lower your insurance premiums. Read on for a few examples of smart security systems you should consider installing.
Smart locks. Controlled via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth from an app on your phone, a smart door lock cannot be picked by trespassers, can notify you any time it is opened and gives you efficient levels of control—for example, being able to give out virtual keys to visitors or family members.
Doorbell cameras. A video doorbell streams live to your phone, and the recording can be saved, meaning that whether you’re home or not, you can see who’s at the door. A further bonus is that it can detect motion to activate, helping to deter criminals from stealing from your porch.
In-house motion sensor. A motion sensor inside your house will detect any movement in its path and can trigger a number of actions, from alerting you to intruders to turning your lights on or off or controlling your smart speaker or TV. It’s affordable, can be installed pretty much anywhere and can even help save energy by setting it to turn off lights and gadgets when no one is around.
