10 SMART HOME SECURITY DEVICES TO KEEP YOU SAFE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
Tired of hearing about weird burglary stories on the news? Aren't we all. And with the upcoming holidays, these occurrences will (unfortunately) become even more frequent. Robbery is one of the most common crimes during the holiday season. The Bureau of Justice reports that, on average, 3.7 million burglaries occur each year, with most robbers taking more than $1,000 of goods on their way out when nobody's home.To get more news about biometric safe locks, you can visit securamsys.com official website.
But good news: According to a University of North Carolina at Charlotte report, about 60 percent of burglars will skip your home if they notice you have a home security system.
To start the holiday season off safely, here are top-of-the-line smart home security devices that are either brand spankin' new (some are so new they're still in the pre-order stage!) or consistently proven to do a good job protecting your home. Connect to them with your smartphone and keep your home safe from wherever you are.
GRANT SPECIAL ACCESS TO VISITORS
Lock or unlock your front door from anywhere, and create special access codes so family, friends and visitors can come and go with the Gate smart lock. The lock comes with motion activated real-time video streaming, delivery man verification and two-way enabled audio.
SEE WHO'S AT YOUR DOOR
Use the SkyBell Wi-Fi video doorbell to snoop on a visitor with live video that's sent to your phone, and have a conversation with them via a two-way intercom from anywhere. If someone looks suspicious, you can even snap a photo or record a video of the visitor to keep on file.
GET MOTION SENSOR ALERTS WHEN YOU'RE AWAY
The new Securifi Almond 3 looks like a router, and it does indeed provide Wi-Fi, but it also comes with a myriad of door, window, motion and vibration sensor features — so even if you're vacationing on a tropical island, your router will kindly tell you if someone opened the kitchen door.
UNLOCK WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE
Connect to the Master Lock Bluetooth Padlock with your smartphone, and forever stop worrying about lost keys or forgotten number combinations. Simply unlock with your phone or enter a "directional code' (left, right, up, down, etc.) onto the touchpad. Can be used indoors or outdoors.
SCARE OFF BURGLARS WITH LIGHT AND SOUND
This motion-activated outdoor Kuna Powered Smart Security Light comes with a 2-way intercom, instant alerts when someone approaches the outside of your home, video recording and live feed, continuous power (buh-bye, batteries) and even a siren in case you want to scare off visitors... like robbers. Or, you know, an unwanted raccoon.
SHUT THE DOOR WHEN YOU'RE NOT HOME
"Did I leave the garage door open?" Oh, the question that has taunted us all. Stop wondering with the Chamberlain MyQ Garage Door Controller, which allows you to open or shut the garage door (even when you're not at home) from your smartphone. Plus, get alerts whenever your door is opened by someone else.
GET NOTIFIED WHEN AN ALARM SOUNDS
Connect to the WiFi Phone Line Alarm System with your smartphone and be notified when an alarm is triggered, or click a button to disarm (you can even do this with a phone call if your house WiFi is down).
CHECK IN ON ANY ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE
Hear a suspicious noise in your child's room? Investigate with this Alexa-compatible Nucleus Anywhere Intercom that provides two-way live feed video and intercom capabilities for any room you wish. You can even check on it when you're far away from home.
EVALUATE YOUR SECURITY AND YOUR ENTIRE LIFESTYLE
Small sensors, or "cookies," provide a variety of functions to report data about your home back to you with the Sense Mother system. In addition to security functions — you can stick a sensor to your front door to receive alerts about intruders, or to your most valuable items to know when they've been touched — the Sense Mother can also tell you when your children arrive home from school, the temperature of each room in the house, and even how well you're brushing your teeth or how much water you're drinking.
