Home security systems are not common for many people as surveillance is linked to commercial and industrial facilities. However, it is logical to have an IP Video Surveillance System installed in your home, because it is the place where you and your family spend time and keep your personal belongings hence you must be able to relax there knowing you are in a safe place.

You have probably chosen to have a house in a good neighbourhood, with a high fence, but is this always enough? Can this prevent all intruders from sneaking into your house?

What is a home security system?

When we say Home security solutions does that only mean to surround your house with cameras? Well not exactly.

Home security system is a broad term, and can mean anything that can prevent intruders and help secure the house including security cameras. We can describe home security and surveillance systems as sets of integrated systems used to secure a home against burglaries, intrusions, fires, and other emergencies.

Traditional Security and Monitoring Systems

Security systems have been being used in homes for about a decade to enhance security and provide peace of mind. Visual monitoring usually plays the primary role in security systems, preventing most crimes because thieves would think twice or thrice when there is a camera recording. However, there can be other security devices to improve security.

Here is a list of the most common security devices used to improve home safety.

CCTV Cameras

Cameras can be installed inside or outside the house providing video monitoring with HD quality. These cameras are made to withstand heat, sunrays, and weather conditions. They are also developed to connect with different sensors to detect movements, distinguish the presence of humans and ignore pet animals.

Door Sensors

They rely on magnetics or electronic sensors to set an alarm when there are unauthorized entries. Those sensors can be used on doors, and cabinets that contain important documents or valuable assets.

Window Sensors

Windows sensors are designed to be installed on windows and detect break-ins. Some of them are similar to door sensors and detect window openings, while others detect glass breaks.

Motion Detectors

The most basic and common use of motion detectors is turning on lights outside when someone is near the house. This can be effective in drawing your attention or the neighbours to the presence of thieves.

Smart Security and Surveillance Solutions

The term smart in Security and Surveillance Solutions means more advanced and effective because smart systems implement the latest innovations in existing security devices to enhance security and increase detection accuracy for your homes. Smart security devices are commonly connected to the internet or use AI to provide better performance.

Here are some of the smart home applications that can make your house more secure:

Smart door locks

The main feature of smart door locks is the ability to check their status from an app, and then lock or unlock them from anywhere or at any time. However, there can be more. Smart door locks can activate locks automatically when they detect that the house is vacant, They can also have built-in sensors to detect abnormal motion that may indicate there is a robbery or someone trying to break in.

Smart Cameras
