Smart Security: Integrating Intruder Alarms with Smart Home Systems
If you’re looking to improve the security of your home, especially if you travel a lot for either business or leisure and have frequent periods where your house is unoccupied, then you may want to consider a home alarm installation.
Having an intruder alarm installed in your home is a great way to let you know when an unwanted visitor is intruding your home during your absence, ensuring the authorities can be notified and the individual in question apprehended.
But, what if you want to take this a step further? You can integrate an intruder alarm with various other smart home systems in order to elevate your home security more comprehensively. Read on as we discuss what this might include.
Automated Lighting
Having automated lights around the exterior entrances of your home is a smart way to deter potential intruders, whilst offering other practicalities.
There are many automated lights available on the market that you could buy. These often feature motion-activated sensors, meaning they will turn on and light up entranceways when someone walks in front of the sensor. As such, anyone who lurks around the entrance of your home will be lit up and visible to neighbours or passersby - this makes them more identifiable by witnesses, thus can help to deter them from breaking into your home.
If someone does break in and sets off your intruder alarm, then the entrance points will likely still be lit when they then leave, further allowing potential witnesses to identify the perpetrator when they then leave - which is much more likely once those nearby hear the alarm and look to see what’s happening.
Smart Doorbells
Smart doorbells have been on the rise in recent years and have now become a popular home security feature for many. These also detect motion near your door, then start recording with their inbuilt camera - allowing you to identify anyone that might be looking to break in.
Many also feature a speaker, through which you can talk to the person at your front door and ask what they’re doing at your home. Should someone break into your home through the front door, then, you would be able to show this footage to the police to be used to identify them.
CCTV
Many burglar alarms can be integrated with CCTV systems. This means that should your alarm go off when an intruder enters your home, this will trigger any CCTV cameras to start recording, sending you an alert through your phone that there is an intruder in your home and providing you with footage that captures the intruder to give to the police as evidence.
You could also choose to place CCTV cameras around the perimeter of your home. These act as an effective deterrent for potential intruders, who likely won’t want to risk getting caught on security footage.
