Are smart home security systems the future of burglar alarms?
What really is a smart security system?
A smart home security system is a set of wirelessly connected security gadgets, which usually include a combination of wireless security cameras, sirens, motion detectors, door locks, and sensors that detect when a door or window has been opened. These systems are then made available to operate from your mobile device alarming you in the case of a break in and in more complex cases allowing you to do everything from view the CCTV to turning the lights on and off.
Why is a burglar alarm the bare minimum?
A standard burglar alarm is great if you're never planning on going to work, on a holiday or leaving the house at all. If the alarm is activated while you are away who is going to inform the police or even yourself? The answer is nobody. Most likely you'll get home to realize the alarm is still going off and the burglars have been and gone, if you're lucky you may get a call from a neighbour or passer-by. The reality is you'll be left to pick up the pieces when it's far too late.
Is this technology worth the investment?
The accessibility of the system is like nothing before, being able to check up on your property in high definition from anywhere using an app on your mobile is cutting edge. It's designed perfectly for anyone who works regularly and or holidays often, you can programme the systems the way you like. If you've got pets that need feeding or visitors you can arm and diss-arm the alarm with a touch of a button.
NSR has a range of installers ready to bring this into your home no matter where you are at a great price. It only takes a matter of hours to set up whereas the aged wired systems may take up to a few weeks.
Watch every second if you have to! Get notified if CO2 is detected, when the kids are back from school or not (the alarms detect inactivity also), and even temperature changes.
In the case of a break in you know exactly when it's happened, where they have gained entry and if you need to in form the authorities.
Is alarm monitoring making a difference?
A burglary typically happens every 40 seconds in the UK, so don't be surprised if you're next, those without any security measures are all the more likely to fall victim.
Smart home security systems allow you to ensure the quickest action can take place in an emergency regardless of where you are.
Where motion detectors are susceptible to failure or tampering where a smart system is a lot harder to disable without prior notification.
