Finding the Best Home Security Camera Tech this Year

September 17th, 2020
Share:
These days, the list of tech brands competing for your business seems eternal. How you can you narrow down your choices in home security camera technology? This rule of thumb may help: It’s not always the brand that matters. It’s the platform.
A quality home security camera tech platform is the backbone of the camera system. It lets you control all your home security functions in the palm of your hand with a user-friendly mobile app. Even better, it can help you perform these critical functions for the security of your home and family.

Use any device to view your home security video.

You want a home security camera system that uses live stream technology, so you can view all your video events from your smartphone, tablet, desktop, Apple Watch or even your TV.
Having the freedom to view your video from so many devices, no matter where you are, makes staying connected to your home life so much easier.

Send you intelligent alerts when video is recorded.

You want a system that uses motion detection to trigger its recording function. You want it to send you alerts as soon as the events happen. And, you may want to be selective about which alerts you receive. With the right platform, your system can do that. Get intelligent alerts to your smartphone when the video events of your choice are recorded. A high quality platform helps you stay in control.

Take a more active stance on protecting your home.

Once upon a time, homeowners could scare criminals away with a simple home security sign in the yard. Today, defending your home from break-ins requires more. Not only do you need home security camera tech; you need those cameras to connect with your other security devices, especially your alarm. When all your security technology is integrated together, you’re taking a much more active stance on protecting your home and family.

The Monitored Security System Difference

September 17th, 2020

You’re a smart, skillful homeowner. Maybe you think that’s all you need to take care of an emergency entirely on your own. But the reality is, everyone needs help – especially if the emergency is a break-in or a fire. When one of these events happens, your number one job is to get yourself and your loved ones out of the house safely. Dialing 911 on top of that is simply too much for one person. If you have a monitored home security system, there’s good news: Your system will call for help, so you don’t have to.

Following Your Instincts, Knowing Your Priorities

If you receive a smartphone alert notifying you of a fire in your house, you will instinctively make rescuing those inside your top priority. At the same time, someone needs to call the fire department – and that’s where your monitored security system comes in.
By the time you get everyone in the house to safety, your system has already sent a signal to the monitoring center, where a trained dispatcher has contacted your fire department. They’re already on their way to save your home, and you were able to follow your instincts to help your loved ones.

A New Feature for Smarter Security

Monitored home security doesn’t end there. Now, there’s a new Smart Signal feature that lets you send an emergency signal to the monitoring center yourself from your smartphone. If the emergency is a home invasion and your system is unarmed, you can contact the monitoring center yourself straight from your cell phone so the criminal will be unaware. This is the smarter home security today’s families need.
For questions about these and other features of monitored security systems, contact Post Alarm Systems. We look forward to assisting you.

In These Times, the Doorbell Camera is Powerful

If your doorway is seeing more visitors these days, that can be a sign that life is slowly getting back to normal. However, that also means it’s time to be aware of the home security gaps that can appear when people are at your front door often.
To narrow those gaps, you need technology that can watch over your doorway 24/7 and put your mind at ease. We have that technology here: the doorbell camera, that simple but important innovation that can give your doorway the extra monitoring it needs. Here are some things you can do with your doorbell camera.

Answer the door from wherever you are.

 Did you know that burglars often ring a home’s doorbell before deciding whether to proceed with a crime? That’s what makes your video doorbell a great tool for crime deterrence. Whether you’re at work, at a friend’s house or on vacation, your doorbell camera will show you who is there and what they’re doing. If you need to communicate with them, you can; the two-way voice technology makes it easy. If you don’t want them to know you aren’t home, you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your valuable deliveries.

By connecting to your other smart home security devices, your doorbell camera can help you get your packages inside and keep them safe from porch pirates. Here’s an example: If you have opted to have smart locks installed, you’ll be able to unlock the door with your phone and ask a delivery person to leave your package inside.
Because of the video technology, you’ll be able to verify who they are and watch them in action – and as they walk away, you’ll be able to lock the doors again using your phone. This is the kind of home security you need for today’s challenges.

Use it as a home security camera.

Your video doorbell camera is a functioning doorbell with an audible chime, just like a traditional doorbell. But unlike a traditional doorbell, it’s also a full smart home security camera that can capture and send you footage of suspicious activity. You’ll be able to use those video clips as evidence you can share with neighbors, social media contacts or law enforcement. That way, others can see what the suspicious characters at your door looked like.
A doorbell camera is a powerful tool for home security. If you don’t have one yet, call Post Alarm Systems to learn more. We’ll be glad to speak with you.
