An Inside Out Home Security System Guide For The Ultimate Protection of Your Property

Home is where we feel safe and comfortable. It's where we make memories with our loved ones. But the reality is that our homes are not always as secure as we think.

A comprehensive home security system includes a range of security products such as cameras, motion detectors, door and window sensors, and alarm systems that work together to provide a layered approach to security. The cameras and motion detectors help to monitor the outside of your home, while door and window sensors can detect any attempted break-ins. The alarm system can then be triggered to alert you and the authorities in case of a security breach.

One of the main benefits of having a comprehensive home security system is that it can act as a deterrent to potential intruders. Studies show that homes with security systems are less likely to be targeted by burglars. This is because the presence of security cameras and alarm systems sends a clear message to would-be thieves that your home is not an easy target.

Let’s start our guide with what we think one should invest in for maximizing the protection for their home.

Safety Starts With Outer Protection: CCTV Cameras

CCTV cameras are a type of video surveillance system that captures video footage and transmits it to a monitor or recording device. These cameras are a crucial part of a security system, as they allow you to monitor your property and keep an eye on any suspicious activities.

CCTV cameras are also useful in monitoring high-risk areas such as parking lots, entrances, and exits, and can alert security personnel in case of any suspicious activities. This can help prevent crimes before they occur, as well as provide timely response to any incidents.

When it comes to CCTV cameras, it is essential to invest in high-quality products to ensure maximum protection. High-quality cameras provide better image and video quality, have a longer lifespan, and are less prone to malfunctions. They also come with advanced features such as night vision, motion detection, and remote access, which can further enhance their functionality.

However, let’s not forget the fact that the right CCTV camera installation is as important as the quality of the cameras. The right installation from professionals will give you the peace of mind that the system is working correctly. Also, professional services can also give you tips and ideas about where you should place the CCTV cameras to get the best protection. Blind spots, dark areas or such places are the most targeted places for burglars, that is why you can consider getting advice from these professional installers.

Don’t Forget About The Inside: Wi-Fi Cameras

When it comes to home security, it is essential to have an all-encompassing approach that covers both the outside and the inside of your home. While CCTV cameras are great for providing an outer layer of protection, it is equally important to have Wi-Fi cameras installed on the inside of your home.

Yale’s All-in-One Wi-fi Camera

One such Wi-Fi camera is the All-In-One camera, which offers a range of features that make it an ideal choice for home security. The All-In-One camera provides remote access to live-viewing, real-time conversation, motion detection, and a built-in spotlight. This camera offers a range of benefits that can help keep your home safe and secure.

One of the primary features of the All-In-One camera is live-viewing, which allows you to see what's happening at home when you are away. With instant app alerts, you can keep track of postal deliveries, friends coming to stay, or when the dog walker or gardener drops in. This feature helps you stay connected to your home, even when you are not there.

The built-in spotlight is another excellent feature of the All-In-One camera. You can turn the security light on or off, activate it on motion detection only, and adjust the brightness to suit your needs. This feature is great for deterring potential intruders and keeping your home safe and secure.

The motion detection notification feature of the All-In-One camera ensures that you are always in the know when someone calls at your door. You can add an SD card to your camera to capture motion detect events or link to a Yale Smart CCTV DVR for constant backup recording of all activity at your door.

Other extended features of the All-In-One camera include in-app control, real-time conversation with two-way talk, image masking, and a siren alarm. The in-built siren is ideal for getting rid of unwanted visitors and suspicious characters and can be activated within the Yale View app, putting you in full control.

Finally, the All-In-One camera is weatherproof, which means you can mount it outdoors using the integrated wall bracket, or use it indoors as a freestanding IP camera. The camera features 10m night vision for clear images both day and night, making it an excellent choice for 24/7 surveillance.
