Enhancing Security: Smart Locks, Cameras, and Alarms

Home security and safety are priorities and main concerns for people, considering the increased reports of vandalism, burglaries, and thefts. Earlier, using wooden doors, rods, and locks was the only way to stay protected and stop thieves from accessing residences. With time, lock mechanisms were devised, leading to complex combination lock systems. But with the advancement of technology, innovative security systems were invented, letting you control and monitor your home at all times with the help of smart security devices such as smart door locks, smart video doorbells, smart curtains, surveillance cameras and tamper-proof alarms. 

You can now open and close your door with the help of the smartphone app. Moreover, handing over temporary or permanent time-specific access to your family and friends is possible. Voice commands and the smartphone app can help unlatch the door from far away. Smart door locks by Leccy & Genesis can be easily installed, and they help step up home security because of their 6 in 1 unlocking option. Besides numeric code accessibility, the intelligent door lock can be opened with a biometric fingerprint, increasing home security to an advanced level. 

The smart video doorbell alerts you to whoever stands on the doorstep, and you can monitor all this from wherever you are. No one can forcefully enter the home because of the tamper-proof alarms in the doorbell. Motion sensors can detect any untoward motions and alert you instantly. You can now see who lurks at the front door and be warned of any potential danger beforehand. The high-definition camera offers a crystal clear coloured view to about 22 feet, so you know who is trying to enter your home. The camera helps you monitor all the activities around the house and detect any untoward. 

The motion sensors are also a part of the smart home security system because they illuminate the area when they detect any movement, thus adding an extra layer of protection for the family members.

Smart curtains can be scheduled to open and close even if you are absent and unavailable. They give an illusion of people present in the home even if they are not. The neighbours or intruders get the impression that the house is occupied, thus forbidding the thieves from venturing closer.
