Households and families can increase their security and overall safety with these five gadgets.
CCTV
CCTVs, or IP cameras have the same function, which is to keep a digital eye on your house, possessions, and even family members. A CCTV is relatively affordable, and it serves as a deterrent to intruders.
Security camera systems are versatile enough that they can be placed anywhere. You can install a camera to ‘view’ your front door, or inside to see the comings and goings of people in your house.
Smart Lock
A smart lock can be as effective, if not more, than a traditional lock. You can enjoy the benefits smart locks provide, including convenience (not needing to bring a key) and ready access to those who know the code (so you can still get in even if you lost your key). What’s more, there are smart locks that automatically open whenever your phone is in close proximity.
Alarm System
There are different kinds of alarm systems you can use inside the house, including those that can detect smoke and harmful emissions or an audible alarm if somebody opens a window or door, for example.
VPN
VPNs are often used to protect user privacy and data. It can hold off malicious entities and online hackers from gaining access to your web habits, as well as financial data and sensitive information. A virtual private network can even mask your IP address so you can unlock geo-restricted content.
Tracking Device
Last but not least, a tracking device such as a Tile or an AirTag can be attached to important items, such as your car keys, wallet, or smartphone. Whenever you misplace or lose them, all you need to do is check your phone and follow the directions to find your item. These tracking devices can also be used on vehicles and motorcycles or bikes.
