Smart Home for Beginners: What You Need to Know

In past generations, homeowners wished they could know what was happening at home when they weren’t there. Today, thanks to this era of modern technology and the Internet, it’s easy to do with a high definition (HD) smart video camera installed as part of a smart home security system. Just use your PC, phone, tablet or preferred mobile device, open your smart home security app, and you have an instant view of activity inside or outside your home – wherever the HD smart security cameras happens to be installed.

Here are some other details for smart home beginners, specifically when it comes to the video camera functionality.

It’s not a cookie cutter security system.  

Smart video cameras come in different shapes and sizes, which gives homeowners a range of choices, so they can decide what model will work best for their home security needs. This could make choosing the right model a confusing task – but with the right home security company in central Pennsylvania, you can make a choice that works for your home size, family size, and household budget. As a family-owned business for 75 years, we’ve watched the changes in products and technology over the years and know how to advise families looking to invest in home security cameras for the first time – including smart home cameras.

It’s accompanied by the most up to date technology for monitoring service.

Smart home systems allow you to access an app on your smartphone, PC, or your preferred mobile device and that app is your portal to the numerous home security features in your system. One of them is a notification feature that you can customize to ensure you get alerts when specific events happen: people come home, someone is at the door, etc. But what if one of those events is a true emergency like someone breaking into your home, and you miss the alert? That’s where critical monitoring service comes in. The experienced security operators are trained to dispatch authorities so help will be on its way. That’s the peace of mind that smart home systems provide, the peace of mind that your loved ones and valuable possessions are being protected always. Whether you are at work or off enjoying the day the way you want to, you have the peace of mind knowing that everything is being monitored and protected by your smart home system.

It’s not just for ensuring home security.

Smart home technology is outstanding for security, but it can do more than offer a layer of protection for your family. It can also help simplify the necessary processes in the aftermath of a disaster that may occur. For example: After a house fire, recorded video can be submitted to the insurance company as evidence of how the fire occurred. Real homeowners have benefited from this, and it has made putting the pieces back together easier to live with after a catastrophe.
