How to install a smart security system for your home
The first step in securing your home is to choose the type of security that you need. There are many types of security systems, including motion sensors, keypads and cameras, as well as alarm systems. The following are the most common security systems:
-
Door Locks – If you are looking to keep your house safe and secure, this is the right choice. You have the option of either lever locks or deadbolts, which are much easier to operate than standard deadbolts.
-
Motion Sensors are another great way to control who is allowed into your home. It works just like a light switch but turns on and off when someone walks near it. Many motion sensors have a camera attached, so that if it detects movement, it sends images back your phone.
-
Keypad - A keypad is another great choice because it allows you to enter codes remotely. For example, if keys get lost in the car, you can use a remote keypad to open the garage.
-
Cameras – Most people associate cameras with surveillance, but there are many other ways to use them. You could, for example, set up a camera at your front door to view it via your smartphone. You could also program your camera to take pictures every few minutes and save them locally (on your laptop). Then you can review these pictures later whenever you want.
-
Alarm Systems – An alarm system is designed to notify you of an emergency. Alarm systems usually send out an alert to your email address or phone. You can view the captured footage after you have received the notification and you can see exactly what happened.
-
Smoke Detectors - Many homes don't have smoke detectors installed, but they should always be included in new construction. These are very affordable and easy to put in.
-
Flood Detectors- Flooding poses a major threat to property owners. Flooding causes more damage than any other natural event. Flood detectors are therefore essential in protecting against this threat.
-
Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Another crucial safety device often overlooked is the carbon monoxide detection. This gas is both odorless (and colorless) and extremely dangerous. A CO detector is vital to your safety and that of your family.
-
Water Leak Detectors-Water damage is the worst thing that could happen to homeowners. Many people don't know the best way to find leaks before it's too late. A leak detector is a wonderful addition to any property.
-
Burglar Bars - Burglars will avoid houses that look occupied. So, adding burglar bars to windows and doors can help deter potential thieves.
