Make your House Safer for the New Year

If you're looking ahead to your New Year's Resolutions, why not consider making your home more secure? After all, protecting our loved ones and valued possessions are a top priority for most people, if we take the time to think about our priorities. Thanks to the advent of new, less expensive, less intrusive technology, anyone can make their home more secure. We offer a wide array of home security products, including alarm systems, hidden cameras, nanny cameras, and more.

If you are interested in video surveillance, technological advancements mean you can have small, compact audio-video recorders, either hidden or overt, depending on your needs. You might want a visible camera on your home's entrances to help deter potential intruders, or a hidden camera to ensure your nanny or babysitter is treating your child well.

These security tools can provide audio only, video only, or audio-visual recordings. Instead of recording on tapes like old systems, new devices can record hours of recordings on just a small memory card. This means portability, letting you easily take the recordings with you, as well as use the memory card over and over. There are also motion-activated cameras that will only record if a motion triggers its switch. This saves you from having to watch or fast-forward through empty footage looking for interesting activity.

Another great tool for parents of older children is software that monitors online and cell phone usage. Spy monitoring software helps keep your child safe from criminals and predators by monitoring web sites visited and chat logs, so you can know exactly what your child is doing online or on the phone. This provides the perfect balance of freedom for your child and peace of mind for you as a parent.

Every home's security needs are slightly different depending on your priorities, family, budget, and more. Whether you want simple, inexpensive door alarms or a more elaborate video recording system, a nanny cam or computer monitoring software, the New Year is a great time to evaluate your home's security needs to keep your home and loved ones safe and secure.
