What is Smart Home Security?
Smart home security refers to a device system that monitors, detects, and alerts homeowners to potential threats within and around their homes. Using sensors, cameras, and smart controls, it offers real-time surveillance, remote access, and automated responses to enhance safety and protection against unauthorised access. Smart Home Security Solutions are vital in this modern age. Read below for a better insight into what features there are and why you should secure your home.
What are the Benefits of Smart Home Security?
Other than the safety of your loved ones and possessions, which you can’t put a price on, Smart Security ensures peace of mind. All our fully automated smart home projects include technology such as CCTV, intruder alarms, and access control/smart door access solutions.
Where does Smart Home Security add value?
CCTV is a brilliant tool for capturing any suspicious activity, but it also acts as a deterrent; when people are aware they are on camera, they are more likely to think twice about their actions. ‘Crime was found to have decreased by 13% in places with CCTV compared to those without’ (overall static across homes/businesses, etc.)
An intruder alarm will guard your home against intrusion, the moment someone enters your property not only will alarms sound, but your handheld devices will notify you, and perhaps a call centre with police dispatched automatically.
With smart access control, you can keep the boundary of your property secure where anybody wanting access to your property must interact with an intercom at your gate, allowing you to see and hear them. This is also pretty handy for deliveries. These intercoms can also be linked to your smartphone so you can communicate with visitors/delivery persons at the touch of a button, even when you’re not on the property yourself.
Having security features in place on your property could also mean that if you are targeted, you have a higher percentage of recovery of any stolen goods as well as a multitude of evidence which could help you in any criminal case.
Where do we add value to Smart Home Security?
