Today’s video surveillance technologies let homeowners remotely view footage from their desktops and smartphones . The result is real-time insight into what’s happening at home, which can provide peace of mind or actionable intelligence.
From a basic security standpoint, this enables you to monitor your home while away to identify threats , such as a potential intruder.
For example, you can configure your security system to receive an alert whenever activity is detected. Log in to see video footage to determine if the threat is real, and then respond appropriately. For example, an active window alarm could be the result of a burglar or a tree branch; or suspicious movement outside could be an intruder or a neighbor’s dog. Real-time video lets you know immediately whether the situation is real or a false alarm, and can serve as evidence in a crime investigation.
While this capability alone is extremely valuable, the benefits and applications of remote video surveillance extend much further. In some cases, they can actually transform everyday lives because you’re connected to your home at all times.
Below, we outline eight practical video surveillance applications, all of which are possible with the right security technology.
By installing the right set of indoor and outdoor cameras , you can see what’s happening at your home, even when away. This presents both safety and convenience benefits unmatched with other systems.
