Why install a smart home security system?

How can you protect your home against burglars, thieves and intruders? Installing an alarm system with cameras is the best defence against a number of security threats.

Protection against break-ins

Protection against break-ins is the most common reason for installing smart home security systems. For practical reasons, burglars tend to break into homes that are not equipped with smart alarm systems. For a burglar, these homes are easy targets, with no video cameras, motion sensors or alarm to worry about.

There are two reasons to use a wireless, remote-controlled alarm system: to deter intruders from breaking into your home, and make sure you're alerted (on the central control unit and by smartphone) if a burglar should decide to try their luck.

Protection against intruders

Intrusions when a resident is at home are a danger, as a burglar can react in unpredictable ways when caught in the act. The Smart Alarm System, which includes a Smart Indoor Camera, Smart Door and Window Sensors, and a Smart Indoor Siren, can help you avoid this risk. The monitoring system's siren will alert you if the camera or sensors detect an intruder in or around your abode, and can also send you an alert in the smartphone app, so you can take the best course of action to keep your home safe.

Protection against fires

Our smoke detector can also be added to your smart home alarm system. Its alarm will sound to warn you if a fire breaks out when you’re at home, and thanks to the app, it can also send a notification to your mobile if you’re out of the house.

What are the different components of a smart home alarm system?

Several components are involved in the operation of a home alarm. A smart home alarm system is a set of wireless devices designed to ensure your safety:

• The Indoor Siren that connects to your smartphone so you can receive alerts in the app.
• The Smart Indoor Camera that monitors your home.
• The Smart Door and Window Sensors that notify the central alarm when a door or window is opened.
• The Smart Outdoor Camera that provides video monitoring of the area around your home.
• The Smart Smoke Alarm that alerts you if fire breaks out.

How do I choose a smart home security system?

Choosing the right alarm system, with all the features and accessories you need, is of paramount importance when it comes to protecting your home. There are several points to consider when figuring out which security system is best for you.

Type of home

You need to pick the right alarm system for the type of home you live in. The kit you install must have the right devices to protect your abode effectively. For example, a flat on an upper floor will need less equipment than a house with a garden, as it will be harder for a burglar to enter.

Wired or wireless alarm

Installation is often tricky with wired alarms, especially if your home was not built with monitoring systems in mind. It might be best to call on a professional for this type of installation. Although they need a little more maintenance (changing batteries, updating apps, etc.), wireless alarm systems are more convenient, especially if you're going down the DIY route: they’re easy to install and use, are compatible with home automation systems, and offer a high level of security.

Position of windows

Make sure you install an opening sensor on all windows and doors that are easily accessible (if they're on the ground floor, for example). These sensors need to have a big enough range to cover the whole surface area of your home.

Homes with gardens

We recommend installing a video alarm kit that includes motion detectors in high-traffic areas. This way, you’ll be alerted if anyone intrudes into your garden. An outdoor camera will provide video recordings of any unwanted visitors.

Whether or not you have pets

Remember to use monitoring equipment that’s compatible with pets if you share your home with any animals. This way, your smart home alarm system won’t be set off every time your pet walks past a motion sensor!
