A connected digital home can make your life both easier and safer. Smart devices make it harder for people to break into your home because they give you more control over your home’s lighting, cameras, and security system. If you want to beef up the security of your home, there are many smart devices to consider.

With that in mind, we are going to take a look at some ways that you can increase security in your home through the latest smart devices:

Wireless Cameras-indoor and outdoor wireless cameras connected through Wi-Fi are highly secure, due to enhanced encryption. Expanding your wireless security camera is easy to do, because it’s as simple as installing cameras and connecting them wirelessly to the server. If you are at work or on vacation, it is easy to track what’s going on at home through the wireless camera.

Smart Doorbell- with a smart doorbell, it is easy to remotely communicate with the person who is in front of the door. Because the smart doorbell has a built-in camera, it also works as surveillance camera.

Smart Lock- with a smart lock, there’s no more physical key to deal with. You only need to punch in the PIN to engage or disengage the lock. The lock could also have a dedicated smartphone app, so it could be unlocked immediately through Bluetooth when the phone is nearby. When someone engages or disengages the lock, there will be a log, so it is easy to find out who accessed a room. A guest can be granted temporary access and you will be alerted through smartphone notifications when the guest arrives.

Smart Curtains- before breaking into a house, burglars typically conduct a surveillance of targeted houses. They make a list of occupied and unoccupied houses in the area. Smart curtains can give an illusion that someone is at home. Curtains could be opened and closed based on a schedule or at random times. Burglars will think there’s an activity inside the house and it is an effective deterrence. Smart curtains can even be opened when an outdoor alarm is triggered.

Smart Lighting- it is risky to leave the lights on all the time because it’s a sign that no one is at home. Automated or remotely controlled smart lighting should be a part of any effective home security system. Homeowners may use a schedule or other pre-configured settings. There could be custom rules to turn the lights on and off at different times and in certain rooms. Smart lighting can also be a part of the alarm system. If triggered, the lawn and backyard can be brightly flooded with outdoor lighting, so it’s difficult for burglars to hide.
