Locking the door is the first line of defense in home security. Beyond the typical locking mechanism on your doors, a smart lock is an improvement, to be sure. The smart lock can be connected to your smart device via bluetooth or wi-fi. You\u2019ll be able to control who can and cannot enter your house without even being home. Plus, some smart locks can be integrated into complete automation systems that include thermostats, lights, and other technology within the home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensors<\/span><\/h2>\n

Placing sensors at access points around your home can give you the peace of mind in knowing that no one can sneak in without you knowing. By placing sensors on windows, you\u2019ll be able to catch your rebellious teen when they try to sneak in or out of the house past curfew. You\u2019ll be alerted if someone tries to jimmie the door open or tries to break into the basement. It doesn\u2019t matter where you are, you\u2019ll be notified of an intruder tries to breech any entryway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cameras<\/span><\/h2>\n

Along with sensors and door locks, when you place cameras around your home, you\u2019ll be able to see what exactly is causing a disturbance. By connecting the cameras to your smartphone, you\u2019ll see when deliveries are made, when animals get into the garbage, or when a nosy neighbor stops by to say hello.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fingerprint scanners<\/span><\/h2>\n

A fingerprint scanner is like a smart door lock on steroids. Only people whose fingerprints are registered with the lock will be allowed to enter your home. Plus, you don\u2019t have to worry about forgetting your keys inside the house because all you have to do is scan your fingerprint. This is a helpful device if you travel a lot and you\u2019re going to have a family member, friend, or neighbor pop in to check on the house while you\u2019re away. You don\u2019t have to worry about giving them a spare key or worry about someone will come searching for a hide-a-key.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garage doors<\/span><\/h2>\n

Just like the smart door locks, you can find garage door systems that will connect to your smartphone. Plus, if you have a tendency to forget to close the garage when you leave, you can check your phone and close it remotely if need be!<\/span><\/p>\n
