Home security is a growing concern; especially in our country where crime is an issue that we are faced with on a daily basis. Here are a few gadgets that you can consider adding to secure your home.
1. Digital peephole viewer
The digital peephole is a tech alternative to a traditional peephole. Instead of struggling to see through the peephole in your door, you can install a mini camera that feeds into a small screen that allows you to clearly see who is standing at your front door. It may not be that much different to a CCTV camera unit, but it is much cheaper and easier to install.
2. Hidden wall safe
A wall safe is great because it can trick burglars and thieves, as they wont know where to look to find your most prized possessions. You can turn the installation into a DIY project. Try to avoid covering up the safe opening with a light switch, but rather let the cover mimic an electrical socket, which won’t look obvious, even when the socket is turned on.
3. InvisiFilm
InvisiFilm is smash-proof architectural window film, which prevents your window from shattering should it ever get smashed. The film is clear and comes with UV protection, which doesn’t change the look of your windows it only provides protection.
4. Wall clock camera
Spy cameras come in all shapes and sizes, and the wall clock is an interesting example of this. If positioned well, the camera will help you monitor an area of your home that you feel needs added security. This gadget is not easily noticed like a camera, which is a plus.
5. InvisiBars
Invisibars are clear polycarbon bars that can be fitted into your window. Invisibars act like burglar bars, but are not as noticeable.
6. Roboguard warning sensors
Roboguard warning sensors are an option as these unique sensor beams are able to cover an area of about 400 square meters. The system is designed to alert you if the security in the covered area is compromised. The Roboguard warning sensors are placed in the garden of your home.
7. Smartphone apps
There are lots of smartphone apps that can help you monitor any acitivity at your home using your smartphone. With these apps, you can centrally manage your smart plugs and smart appliances, switch on and off your lights from your smartphone, as well as locate loved ones at all times (this could be helpful if you have teenagers). With certain apps you can also get notifications every time something out of the ordinary happens in your home. A great smartphone can be a security gadget too.
