You spent good money on your home. You have home insurance to protect your valuable possessions and to ensure that your investment will always be covered. You now want to get a home security system to protect your family. You’re on the fence about this system because you’re not sure if it's the best option.

Take a few minutes to learn about some new innovations in home security.

You can truly know the traffic in your home

Who’s coming? Who’s going? According to this article on Time, the Netatmo Welcome comes with facial recognition technology and can tell you exactly who’s in your home. This camera can recognize your family members. You can also get updates to your mobile device so that you know exactly who’s inside your home. You’ll be immediately be notified when there’s an unknown face inside of your place. You can also watch everything from your chosen device. You can be at work or on vacation and still see what’s happening at home.

Light bulbs that add extra protection

The aforementioned article also mentions how the new BeON LED Bulbs can perform all kinds of unique tricks. These light bulbs will turn on when someone rings your doorbell. This is often enough to scare away potential home burglars who want to see if you’re around.

You can also set an automatic schedule so that your lights turn on and off when you’re on vacation, or when you know that you’re not going to be home.

Door locks that come with additional security

FoxNews wrote about the Schlage Sense Lock, which is an electronic touch pad lock that allows you to control who enters the home and how they enter.

According to the article, this lock comes with an important feature: The system can manage and schedule up to 30 codes at the same time through an app, streamlining that tangle keychain into one simple device.

This means that you don’t have to panic when you lose your keys. You also don’t have to hide a spare key under the mat. You can set multiple codes and you can switch your code in case you're worried it has been leaked.

It’s important to look into home insurance and home security companies before you spend your hard earned money. You've worked hard to buy your home and protecting it should always be a priority.
