Do you need a home security system?
A home security system is an important investment and something to consider to protect your family, home, and valuables. As crimes and robberies increase, many homeowners are installing surveillance systems to protect their most valuable assets: their families and property. A home automation security system is the best way to feel safe at home. Home security systems can alert you if there is a problem or if someone is trying to break into your home through a door or window.
There are several home security systems on the market, and choosing the one that suits your security needs can be difficult. To make your decisions easier, we have a sample of the best home security system devices to spy on your home while you are away.
IP camera
IP cameras have a built-in server that allows you to send and receive data over the Internet without needing a computer, allowing you to access the security camera from anywhere in the world using your smartphone or computer. Some cameras also have a motion detector that can send you an email alert when motion is detected.
Smart lock
A smart lock allows you to open the door remotely with your smartphone, so you don't have to worry about losing your house keys. Smart locks provide many benefits, like various access methods, that regular deadbolt locks just don’t. House keys are often misplaced. Consider smart locks with keypads to avoid tracking down keys or changing the locks when tenants move out. With Kamonk’s range of smart locks, you can remotely unlock the door with your smartphone and use fingerprint authentication, an RFID card, or a numeric code to do the same. You can also assign dynamic passcodes that are valid for five minutes.
Motion sensor
Motion sensors respond to changes in infrared energy when someone walks near a door or window. It's great for deterring would-be thieves as it sets off an alarm when an intruder enters your home.
Smart lights
Smart lights can help prevent burglaries when you’re not at home by periodically switching the lights on and off using your smartphone. Kamonk offers a smart LED bulb with over 16 million colors. It has features like timers, schedules, voice control, and more.
Types of home security systems
Choosing a home security system is a difficult task. This is because different home security systems have different levels of surveillance and whether or not cables are used. The main types of home security systems are:
1. Wired
A wired system connects each sensor to the main control panel via hidden wires in the walls and ceiling. The system is connected to a telephone line or broadband router to communicate with emergency services. These systems are expensive to install and require professional supervision.
2. Wireless
Wireless systems use radio waves to transmit data between the sensor and the main control panel, eliminating the need to run expensive wires around the house. The wireless sensor can be installed anywhere for easy installation.
3. Monitored
The monitored system plays a role in suppressing intruders and provides 7-day monitoring throughout the year. With these home security systems, the homeowner can know when someone is calling.
4. Unmonitored systems
The unmanned system does not provide 7-year round-the-clock monitoring but acts as a local asset alarm system. Landlords can install sirens or flashing lights to alert themselves or neighbors to property problems.
5. DIY system
A DIY system can be an affordable option for homeowners on a budget who don't want to sign long-term contracts or pay regular monitoring fees. However, these systems rely on their monitoring via smartphone alerts and push notifications and may be able to respond to system alerts.
