While you are at work or travelling, thieves are always looking for an opportunity for a quick plunder. There are higher risks of burglaries in the summer because families usually go outside or are on holiday and they leave many of the burglars’ favourite spots unsecure.

With that in mind, we are going to take a look at the smart home security devices that can help you monitor your home and keep the whole family protected:

Indoor CCTV Cameras- these smart cameras can be activated when there’s no one at home. When they detect movements, the smart home system will notify homeowners and send live footage. The homeowner can decide whether it is necessary to activate the alarm and call the local police station. Indoor CCTV cameras typically include a built-in speaker and microphone to warn the intruder verbally.

Outdoor CCTV Cameras-outdoor CCTV cameras prevent burglars and other intruders from approaching and entering your property. When choosing outdoor CCTV cameras, make sure that they are weatherproof and completely wireless. For better convenience, these cameras should be electric-powered, instead of battery-powered. Good outdoor cameras usually have motion sensors and wide-angle lens for better coverage. Some models include separate speakers to ward off intruders who are entering the property.

Video Doorbell-video doorbells have a built-in camera and Wi-Fi module. When someone pushes the doorbell, the camera will be activated and live feed is sent to smartphone or smart TV through a Wi-Fi connection. Consider choosing a doorbell with a built-in microphone and speaker, so you can communicate with the visitor when you are not at home.

Smart Lock- smart locks should have a Bluetooth feature, so they can be paired with your smartphone. They will be unlocked when you are at a close proximity and locked automatically, when you move farther away. This is convenient and safer if you have the habit of forgetting to lock the door. You will be notified when someone is tampering with the smart lock.

Motion-Enabled Lighting- a smart lighting system can deter intruders before they approach your home. When someone is entering the lawn, the motion sensor will turn the outdoor lighting on at maximum brightness. This makes the intruder more visible through the outdoor CCTV camera. The intruder may think that someone is at home and he may leave immediately. Automated indoor lighting with motion sensors can also be activated if the burglar has gained entry.
