In recent years, smart technology has become increasingly integrated into many of our devices, making life easier and safer. In particular, home security has made significant improvements from the more intuitive automated option. Here are just some ways you can now protect your home and family with this technology.

How Does Smart Technology Make Your Home More Secure?

1. Locks

Smart home security seamlessly connects all devices through a wireless network, so if you forgot to lock the doors, you no longer have to go back to do it. Whether your hands are full or you're hours from home, all you need to do to lock or unlock the doors is head to the right app.

Thanks to smart technology, there's also no need to change your locks and duplicate keys. All you have to do is change the lock's digital code whenever necessary, allowing you to restrict access with ease. Plus, you don't have to worry about losing keys or damaging them.

2. Video

With a smart home security system, you can monitor your surveillance cameras from anywhere. You can access both recorded videos and live feeds to check present happenings and review past recordings stored in the cloud.
  
You can also program the cameras to send alerts if suspicious activity is detected. Some home security systems offer this nifty feature, letting you check if there's a potential security breach. Get a camera with human recognition so it'll only send an alert if it detects an unidentified face.

3. Lights

Having your lights go on and off automatically at certain times will make your home seem occupied while you're away. With a few clicks on an app, you can dictate when to switch them on or off to save energy. Also, consider installing outdoor lights with motion sensors that turn on with movement, limiting places where intruders can hide.
