The Many Ways Video Surveillance Protects Your Home & Loved Ones

WATCH OVER YOUR PROPERTY FROM ANYWHERE

Of all the smart technologies we have access to today, one of the most popular is video surveillance. Once limited to deterring criminals, these security cameras offer so much more. 

Today, intelligent video surveillance lets you create digital tripwires that protect you and your children from life’s many unforeseen events. They integrate with other smart technologies, like door locks, sensors, and lighting. You receive alerts in the event of environmental dangers and unexpected activity. And they ensure you don’t miss life’s precious moments, like your child’s first words and your dog’s crazy antics. 

In essence, they offer incredible peace of mind. 

Let’s explore the latest technology and how it helps homeowners in Tampa, FL, feel safe, secure, and connected.

DIGITAL TRIPWIRES 

Tripwires are smart video analytic functions that let you monitor and guard specific areas. When someone crosses the invisible boundary, you receive a push alert on your smartphone while your security camera simultaneously records the area.

In addition to protecting your home from intruders, these are used to ensure the kids don’t venture into out-of-bound areas when no one's looking. For instance, those with toddlers often use this technology around pools, at the top of stairs, and in spaces with cleaning supplies. 

UNEXPECTED ACTIVITY 

Today’s smart cameras learn as they watch over your family. In time, they can differentiate between everyday activities and unusual occurrences. Does the dog walker stop by at the same time every afternoon? You won’t receive an alert. Should a stranger come to the door or linger by the garage, you’ll know immediately. 

INSTANT ACCESS

Thanks to remote access and mobile apps, you can view your home's video in real-time from anywhere. You can check in on your pets when you’re away, greet your kids when they arrive home from school, and talk to the visitor at the door. 

Today’s smart video surveillance offers two-way audio, crystal clear night vision, and pan-tilt-zoom capabilities.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION

Your security cameras seamlessly integrate with your home automation system. This means you can view your camera’s video feeds on your touchscreen, mobile device, or TV. Do you want your security video to pop up on the nearest TV when someone rings the doorbell? Would you like the doors to automatically lock and lights to turn on when a tripwire is crossed? Today, the possibilities are nearly limitless. 

ENVIRONMENTAL DANGERS 

By placing water, temperature, and smoke sensors in strategic locations, your smart home alerts you in the event of environmental dangers. Did an intense rainstorm cause localized flooding while you and your family were on vacation? You’ll receive an alert and can view the situation through the live video, taking the necessary course of action to limit further damage.
