Detecting the Latest Security Trends

As the years pass, technology is becoming more and more advanced and the technology that’s used for surveillance systems is no different. Home and business owners who plan on getting a security system or who plan on upgrading their current security system should look into the newest security innovations to see if there’s anything that they might want to include into their system.

Security on the Go

You can now monitor your home no matter how close or how far you might be from it with mobile security. Smartphones can now be linked up to your security system so that you can activate or deactivate your system without being physically present. You can also monitor the video feed to keep an eye on your kids if you aren’t home when they get back from school.

In addition to monitoring security systems, you can also use your smartphone or tablet to turn lights on and off and adjust your thermostat.

Wireless Security Equipment

Now you don’t have to worry about tripping over the cords from your security system or drilling holes into your walls thanks to wireless security equipment. One of the great things about wireless equipment is that you can place sensors wherever you’d like rather than only where the wires will reach. If you do a lot of moving around, wireless security equipment is a breeze to pack up and move with you to your new home.

Better Video

Now you can enjoy high quality high-definition video with your home surveillance. You don’t have to worry about looking at a blurry image whenever you want to zoom in on an image now that there are more megapixles to enjoy. The advantage of this is that law enforcement will have an easier time of identifying criminals and the details of crime scenes.

There are also video verifications that allow you to receive a video clip via email or text whenever your alarm is tripped so that you can verify whether or not you have an intruder before an alarm is sent to the security company. If you’re charged for every false alarm that your system triggers, you’ll be thankful for the special verification system.

Firefighting

Rather than buying inexpensive smoke detectors for your home, you might prefer to have your home monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can’t always depend on a smoke detector to work properly, and you might get so tired of it beeping every time there’s a mishap in the kitchen that you remove the batteries and forget to put them back in.

If you live in an area that’s especially prone to wildfires, fire surveillance might be something you want to consider for your home and family. Another great thing about the new fire surveillance system is that the alarm is sent over the Internet instead of through your home’s phone line, which means that you don’t have to worry about paying for a monthly phone line. After about a year or so, the system will pay for itself.

Even if you already have a home surveillance system, you might want to think about upgrading it with the latest security technology. Criminals are getting smarter, so make sure that your surveillance system is up to the task of keeping you safe.
