home alarm security systems

99 upfront for the hardware and still get monitoring but avoid the activation fee. If you live in a small apartment and want to keep tabs on things when you're not home, a security camera can get the job done for a lot less money than what you'll pay for a full security system. Nearly all standalone security cameras connect to your home's Wi Fi so you can see what's going on from your phone or tablet, and most have built in sensors that detect motion and sound and will send push and email notifications when those sensors are triggered. You can usually tweak the camera's motion sensitivity to prevent false alarms due to pet activity or passing cars if the camera is near a window, and you can create a schedule that turns the sensors on and off during certain hours of the day. A smart lock is typically part of a robust smart home security setup, but you don't have to invest in a full blown system to use one. If you're using a home automation hub to control things like lighting and thermostats, you can add a Z Wave or Zigbee smart lock to the system without much effort.

This is great for talking to your spouse or your kids while you're away from home, but it's also a nice way to check in with your pets. Some animals don't quite put two and two together when they hear their owners voice over a phone or an intercom, but for those that do it's a great way to calm down an anxious puppy or to chastise them if you catch them rooting around the garbage or sleeping where they aren't supposed to.
