I invested into a home security system to protect my family, house and valuables.
Although the risk of a break-in or theft in my area is minimal, there is always a concern.
Taking precautions has helped to set my mind at ease. Because there are so many security systems and technologies available, it took me a while to choose the right one for my needs, budget and property. I came up with a list of features that were a priority to me. It was important to me that the system included top quality security cameras. I wanted to receive immediate notifications if any visitors approached the front door or entered any area of the property. The system I chose provides a virtual tripwire around the perimeter. If any person, animal or vehicle, the camera registers the motion, turns on lights in that zone and sends an alert to my phone. I chose to have indoor and outdoor cameras that feature night vision, in-app video feeds and two-way audio and video communication. I am able to watch for the delivery of packages, keep an eye on the property when we’re away on vacation and know exactly when the kids arrive home from school. It’s nice to be aware of what’s happening when I’m not home. I pay a subscription fee for 24/7 monitoring to cover emergency situations. Directly linked to local law enforcement and first responders, this service reacts to any security breach or natural disaster anywhere on the property. The security system allows remote access to the thermostat and includes flood, carbon monoxide and smoke detection.
