Home security cameras provide you with information about what’s going on both inside and outside your house. They can let you know if your kids are home safe, your elderly parents need help, your dog is acting up, or a porch pirate is stealing your packages. Once you have installed home security cameras, it won’t take long before you wonder what you ever did without them. However, they’re not all created equal. When you’re in the market for surveillance cameras, you must find a dependable security company to ensure the pros outweigh the cons.
There are numerous pros of home security cameras. Here are just five of the many things you can do when you install them in your home:
In addition to a visible home security sign, surveillance cameras are among the most effective tools to deter burglars from ever breaking into your home. Frontpoint’s doorbell camera will notify you as soon as someone walks up to your door. If you realize it’s a porch pirate stealing your packages, you can use the two-way audio to let them know they’re on camera.
If your home is broken into, then most likely, there will be a police investigation. Your home security footage could be a big help in identifying the burglar and making a case against them.
Let’s say you have young kids that are coming home before you get back from work. You’ll be notified as soon as they get home, and you can even talk to them through your camera! If they’re playing outside while you’re cooking, you can check on them from the app on your smartphone without leaving the kitchen.
If you have elderly parents living with you and you’re worried about them while you’re away, you can check your smartphone to see how they’re doing and talk to them with two-way audio. Let’s say you’re worried that they will forget to turn the stove off after cooking something –you can put a camera in the kitchen and gently remind them.
It’s nice to be able to check on your pets while you’re out of the house. Maybe you don’t want them on the couch or going through the garbage—place cameras in any spots of concern. You can also use it to monitor their whereabouts while they’re outside by themselves. Frontpoint has cameras with technology that allow you to set up tripwires in areas that are off-limits for pets or anyone else.
There’s really only one big con of home security cameras, and that’s privacy. Many people are worried about unwanted spying and surveillance. That’s why it’s essential to make sure your camera is connected to a trustworthy home security company. Do your research and check out their history. For example, you’d find that Frontpoint has a track record of ZERO camera hacks. Frontpoint made sure to implement strict security protocols designed with its customers’ privacy in mind, use some of the highest-quality equipment in the industry, and rely on 256-bit AES encryption, one of the protocols used by U.S. banks and the military to protect sensitive information. These just a few of the many steps Frontpoint has taken to protect the privacy of its users.
Now that you know the pros and cons of security cameras, you can make an informed purchase. Frontpoint’s cameras are not only incredibly secure, they’re also easy to set up and have top technology features and video analytics.
