Security Cameras
Cameras enhance your security system in multiple ways. First, they record events as they happen. And did you know that cameras can help prevent crimes? Many potential crooks will avoid homes with signs of a security system. Contemporary cameras are equipped with pan-tilt-zoom capabilities, weatherproofing, and visibility in various light conditions.
Alarms
Alarms let you know when there's a problem. If someone enters your home without consent or crosses a predetermined barrier, you'll instantly know about it. Modern alarms don't just bleep and beep. They connect to your smartphone or tablet and give you control and information. Receive push notifications, reset false alarms, and enjoy other features from your mobile device.
Video Doorbells
Video doorbells are like smart cameras because they offer remote visibility to what's happening around your property. The main difference is that video doorbells are designed to work at your entryways. They also provide two-way communication and only work when activated by a visitor. Once it rings, you receive a notification on your mobile device, and you can communicate with the person outside.
Automatic Door Locks
Working together with a video doorbell, automatic door locks are another part of an electronic entry system. Grant access remotely to your guests with the tap of a button on your mobile device. Some locks offer means of keyless entry, including numerical codes and biometrics (retina or fingerprint scanners). And when you’re ready for bed, another tap will secure every doorway in your home.
Integrated Control
Thanks to so many new devices in your system, you'll need a comprehensive and straightforward way to use them. A smart home platform is the perfect solution. It will automate many of your security system features while letting you adjust settings from a single, centralized interface. Get more out of each device when they work as part of a smart home system.
