Important Features in Home Surveillance Cameras
One of the most essential elements of home surveillance is installing the right cameras in the right locations. Larger homes and estates benefit from pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras that can follow movement when detected. These catch every angle and, with the proper placement, ensure all possible access points are covered.
Today’s home surveillance cameras also offer 4K high resolution and night vision. Clients particularly appreciate the ability to check live video footage when motion is detected in the evenings. These high-definition images ensure you can see exactly what caused the disturbance, night or day, and wherever you are in the world, creating an unrivaled peace of mind and sense of security.
Because these cameras are smart and possess AI learning, they come to know what a “normal” occurrence is compared to an unusual event. They can even tell the difference between a person or a nosy raccoon by your back gate. This level of intelligence limits false alerts, ensuring you’re not receiving notifications every time the neighborhood squirrel runs across the lawn.
Integrated with Your Smart Home
One of the best features of smart homes is their integration with your many connected devices. Not only do these devices connect to your home automation platform, but they also connect to each other, working together to create unrivaled ease of living and safety.
When your surveillance system becomes a part of your home control system, your lighting, audio, video, and even HVAC system work in tandem. We can program certain lights to come on when movement by a person or vehicle is detected. When someone rings the doorbell, we can program the video feed to pop up on the TV screens. If the cameras spot someone trying to enter your home, the lights start flashing, all doors lock, and, thanks to remote monitoring, trained professionals immediately call law enforcement and send them to your home.
A quality surveillance system combined with home automation lets your mind rest when you’re away and feel safe and secure when you’re home. To learn more about the many options in smart home security or to schedule a complimentary consultation, contact Hermary’s today.
