Video doorbells are more accessible than ever, and are a great way to see who’s at your door.
Whether you are looking to upgrade your longtime home with smart home security or moving out for the first time and looking for ways to stay safe, smart home security devices have a ton to offer. Here are some ways to majorly upgrade your front door and get safer with smart home security.
Keep an Eye on Your Doorbell
A great new smart home security device is the video doorbell. These doorbell cameras allow you to see who is ringing your door before you ever move it answer it. They are a fantastic combination of a communication method and a security camera. These typically work alongside an app that allows you to answer the doorbell and see who is there. You can have a two-way conversation with whomever it was even if you aren’t home! If you want to let the person ringing your doorbell in you can press a button in the app to unlock your door.
Smart Lock
Used to hiding your spare key under the doormat or in the bushes? While convenient, it isn’t very safe. A smart lock uses a keypad so that you don’t need to worry about a key if you forget it. Instead, you can create a 4-digit pin code (just like at the ATM) that will open your door. These codes can also send alerts to your phone to let you know that your door was unlocked as part of your smart home security features.
Smart Lighting
Smart lighting is something that many people think about for the inside of their home but forget about when it comes to the outside. By illuminating your home properly from the outside, you can make sure that you (or any visitors) can easily find your front door. Keeping your home well-lit with smart home security is also good for deterring any solicitors or burglars, especially when in combination with a smart doorbell.
