How Doorbell Cameras Improve Home Security

Learn how doorbell cameras can improve your security.

Installing a home security system is the first step to ensure you’re doing everything you can to protect your home or business. But there are also ways to customize your system with SmartHome upgrades to design the perfect set up that suits your needs. Adding a smart doorbell camera is a simple and affordable way to add another layer to your security. 

Doorbell Cameras Deter Burglars

Generally, installing security surveillance cameras in your home can reduce the likelihood of thieves breaking in. Which in turn can add a positive impact on neighborhoods and communities overall. 

A visible doorbell camera can also act as a deterrent. Think of it like your security yard sign that lets any would-be intruders know your home has monitored security. On one hand, you’d be be notified of any suspicious activity happening on your cameras. And should a crime actually occur you would have video evidence to prove it.

Doorbell Cameras Integrate with Home Security Systems

Modern doorbell cameras can be integrated into home security systems, offering an added layer of security. The camera will not only monitor and record activities but also send you notifications. These notifications allow you to take a next step with your SmartHome automation. For instance, let’s say you’re away from home and a housemate forgets their key. Simply unlock the door from your mobile device when you confirm they’ve reached the front door. 

Cameras and Motion Sensors Work Together

Buying and installing a camera that features a motion detector ensures you know when a visitor reaches your front of the door. You’ll still get a notification even if they do not press the doorbell. Other features that help to enhance home security include the two-way audio that supports conversation with visitors and full-color night vision that keeps you feeling safe at night.

Cameras Link to Law Enforcement

When a doorbell camera integrates with your monitored security system, law enforcement authorities will be notified if someone breaks in, allowing them to respond quickly. And in case of theft, the security footage will serve as proof of the crime, a factor that can help to identify the intruder.
