Your home is probably your biggest and most valuable asset. And the people in your home are definitely your most precious possession. So it makes perfect sense for you to stay on top of the latest trends on protecting these two elements. Let’s take a look at some of the hottest modern home security trends that you should know about.
Security Monitoring Apps
Have you ever wished you could see what’s going around your home while you were at work or away on vacation? Well, you don’t have to wish any more. Thanks to the increasing popularity of smartphones and mobile apps, you can keep an eye on your home even when you’re away.
There are many apps that connect to cameras in your home and deliver a live video on your phone. You can search your app store for a suitable app. Since you use your smartphone anyway, don’t need to do anything new to follow this amazing home security trend!
Wireless Door Locks
If you think the idea of unlocking your doors wirelessly is too good to be true, think again. You can find different electronic door lock apps to lock or unlock doors with your smartphone. Of course, you’ll also need to add the relevant hardware to those doors. But once everything is in place, it works like magic. This gives you extra control over access to your property, with amazing convenience.
Convenient, Accurate Sensors
Gone are the days of complex, difficult-to-install security sensors with confusing components and extensive wiring. The modern home’s sensors are wireless and easy to install, not to mention affordable. What’s more, these accurate and more convenient sensors are easily customizable and more reliable than ever.
Geo-Fencing
Alright, this sentence will be a bit long: Geo-fencing is basically an application of wireless and GPS technology that alerts users whenever a person of interest enters or leaves a pre-defined GPS-based virtual boundary. Got it?
In mobile marketing, geo-fencing is used by businesses to send messages to a customer when he/she comes close to their shop. For your home security, you can use this to be notified when a young child or an aging parent goes outside a boundary. You just need these persons of interest to have a smartphone or a small device on them that lets you track their location.
Home Health Care Monitoring
Believe it or not, modern home security isn’t just about protecting your home, but your health as well. Wireless medical devices are becoming increasingly popular. Medical professionals can now remotely track a patient’s vitals. Some security companies have already started integrating healthcare monitoring into their services. This trend will continue to grow because of the aging population and expanding interest in mobile healthcare.
So, how many of the above-mentioned home security trends are you following? Perhaps it’s time to consider improving the way you protect your home and family. It will certainly be worth every penny and minute you spend on it.
