Doorbell Cameras
Statistics show that over 80% of burglars enter homes through the first floor. This is why having a camera on your first floor is a necessity. A doorbell camera gives you a view of your front entry as well as your front yard so you can see who is coming and going. Video doorbells also give you an up-close and personal view of anyone that comes to your front door. From delivery people to friends and family, video footage is captured, and you’re able to watch, rewind, and replay the footage as needed. When integrated with your home automation, you can also communicate with visitors through your smart doorbell. And with smart locks, you can remotely unlock your door and ask the delivery person to drop off the package inside the front door, as well as assure that they close the door so you can relock it. Or you verify and let a service call person in while you’re away to make a repair, while still maintaining the security of your house.
Perimeter Cameras
Another important location for your surveillance cameras is around the perimeter of your home, around pools, and outdoor patios and entertainment areas. Visible cameras can deter potential thieves and provide video evidence if anyone tries to trespass. Any motion detected by these smart cameras can trigger your security system, and a text message or push notification can alert you to view the captured footage immediately on your smart device. If the incident occurs at night, remote security monitoring services can notify law enforcement for you, so you can be assured that your home is fully protected.
