Installing smart gadgets are important for you and your family's safety. They can provide additional surveillance and keep a check on the house at all times. Recently, Bollywood actor, Saif Ali Khan, was stabbed by an intruder after the latter tried to barge into the actor's home.

Why smart gadgets

Devices like the ring video doorbell allow you to see who’s at your door, communicate with visitors remotely, and record video footage.

Smart Doorbell

Cameras like Arlo or Nest Cam can be placed around your home to monitor activities, with features like motion detection, night vision, and live streaming to your phone.

 Security Cameras

Keyless locks, such as August Smart Lock, allow you to lock and unlock doors remotely, track who enters your home, and even grant temporary access to guests.

Smart Locks

These sensors, like those from SimpliSafe, trigger an alarm if a door or window is opened while the system is armed.

Window and Door Sensors

Devices like the Ring Motion Sensor can detect movement around your property and send instant alerts to your phone.

Motion Detectors

Smart bulbs like Philips Hue can simulate occupancy by automatically turning lights on and off to make it look like someone is home, deterring burglars.

Smart Lights

These devices, such as Honeywell’s 5853 Wireless Glass Break Detector, can sense the sound of breaking glass and trigger an alarm, alerting you immediately.

Glass Break Sensors

Modern safety systems combine cameras, sensors, and alarms into a single ecosystem, offering full control via a smartphone app and professional monitoring options.
