Technology is a huge part of our everyday lives. So, when it comes to our home security, it makes sense to integrate technology here too. Fusing smart technology with security is an excellent way to ensure you are using all tools available to protect your home or business.
One of the main advantages of having a smart technology home is that you can physically see what is happening. Compared to coming home to a break-in with no idea about the perpetrator or when they struck, smart technology is giving property owners back control as well as peace of mind.
After all, the beauty of smart technology is that, for the most part, it acts as a deterrent rather than sitting back and waiting for theft or damage to take place. The technology we use is getting ever smarter, meaning owners are alerted immediately rather than getting a nasty surprise once criminals are long gone.
Are you interested in upgrading your smart home with the latest in security technology? Here is everything you need to know.
Motion detectors
Who’s there? Whether it’s just your inquisitive cat or something a little more sinister, motion detectors will pick up any suspicious movement. The technology works brilliantly because it can instantly alert you of movement, allowing you to view the potential threat before any damage or theft can take place.
Motion detectors also offer peace of mind when you are not at home. After all, should someone try and break in – you aren’t there to stop them or call the police. Motion detectors can close down criminal activity before it’s even had a chance to start, especially when linked with a camera or audio warning.
Door alarms
Your door is the main entrance for anyone looking to enter your home or business. Sadly, this also includes those with less than honest intentions. Having an alarm on your door means the person will need to know the password. Otherwise, security or police will be called after a set amount of time has elapsed.
Door alarms matter because they immediately alert the person that the entrance is being monitored. This in itself can deter would-be criminals, and even if it doesn’t, you will be alerted the alarm is going off to your phone, and your neighbours will be able to hear it. In combination with secure locks, a door alarm is essential for the security of your premises.
CCTV integrations
CCTV (closed-circuit television) is one of the best ways to protect your home or business. When fused with smart technology that we provide here at RE:SURE, it’s never been easier to prevent crime taking place in your home or business.
Combined with motion sensor technology, the CCTV camera will immediately pick up suspicious activity. This alerts a control room, who will deliver verbal warnings to whoever is there.
The technology costs 95% less than hiring a security guard. What’s more, your smart CCTV system will never go off duty or call in sick! It’s there, whenever you need it, to provide round the clock protection to your property.
