What are the benefits of smart security for your home?
A smart security system allows you to keep a close eye on your home from anywhere in the world. The security kit includes everything you need to monitor and control your home. You can check in on family members or pets at any time of the day. You can also help to deter intruders by creating rules. For example, when you’re away from home, you could set the internal lights to turn on at specific times or trigger an external light when the motion detector is triggered. The main benefit of a smart security system for your home is the ability to completely customise it to your needs.
Are Smart Alarms worth it?
Yes, smart alarms are worth the investment. Not only can they help to safeguard your home and possessions, but they can also help to drive down your home insurance premiums. Another key benefit to smart alarms is the possibility to capture intruders on video, giving you a better chance of getting stolen property returned to you and securing a prosecution. While no home security camera system will completely eliminate the risk, having a system is better than no system. Another key benefit of smart home control that includes security measures is the ability to check-in and control your home from anywhere in the world. At the touch of a button, you can check on your property, unlock doors and make sure everything is working as it should.
What really deters burglars?
Home security systems, motion detector lights and high-quality door and window locks are your first line of defence against intruders. If you are unsure where the vulnerable spots are in your home, we can work with you to identify them and then use cameras and lights to reduce the risk of a break-in. Home security systems will often deter random, opportunistic break-ins, but if your home is targeted by thieves, the system will be more useful for collecting evidence that will allow the police to track down the perpetrators.
Do wireless alarms need wifi?
Yes, the smart home security system will work on your home Wi-Fi system. This means that your home may be vulnerable if intruders first cut your phone line. However, this will only cut off communication with the outside and your home security will continue to function, even without WiFi. You will receive an alert if the home security system loses connectivity, giving you time to assess the situation and call the police if required. If a break-in occurs while your internet is down, the footage will be saved to a device in the home, ensuring you have plenty of evidence to hand over to the police.
Can my home security system be hacked?
Some home security systems have security flaws that make them vulnerable to hackers or spies. Every device that connects to the internet is vulnerable to these types of attacks, but often due to a lack of understanding by the user. We’ll help you to keep your home security system secure by helping you to select the right passwords to keep everything secure. We can also advise on the home WiFi settings you need to protect your network. While nothing is 100% secure from hackers, we can help you to take the steps needed to protect your smart home system from online threats.
Is smart security only for the home?
No, our smart security systems are also ideal for businesses that need to be able to keep an eye on their premises from anywhere. If you have expensive equipment you need to protect, a smart security system can help to deter thieves. Using smart technology in your business can also help to drive down overhead costs by making your workplace more efficient. You’ll never leave lights or heating on again when the office is empty. And you can even check that the doors are locked and secured, making it ideal if you are trusting supervisors and shift managers to lock up at the end of the day.
