Security Cameras
A smart home security system is only as reliable as its surveillance cameras. Pan-tilt-zoom, infrared, and dome cameras are just a few options available on the market for home security camera installations.
On-the-cloud and local storage options are available to house previously recorded surveillance camera footage. Redundant power options such as a backup battery or generator are also necessary in case of vandalism or power outages. Balaklava will help you determine which types of cameras suit your unique property best, so you’re not left with blind spots on your property that attract potential thieves.
Monitoring Service
A home with an alarm system that isn’t monitored may as well not have an alarm system at all! You can’t possibly keep track of every motion sensor and camera alert throughout the day and night, and that’s why a monitoring service is crucial.
A central security monitoring station receives alerts whenever an incident occurs on your property. It views live and recorded footage, and it even contacts local law officials if needed. If your alarm system is triggered, or it detects something like a broken window, or water leak, homeowners immediately receive a phone call from the monitoring service.
Remote Access
Have you ever walked out of the house and been halfway to work, only to second-guess yourself and wonder if you locked the front door? Or maybe you left the garage door open? That nagging feeling has been known to plague us all at some point or the other, but no longer!
Simply access a live video feed from your smartphone to see whether you closed the garage door. And if you did leave the door wide open? There’s no need to turn the car around. Instead, swipe your finger on your security app to lower the garage door remotely. You can also remotely unlock and lock smart locks for dog walkers, real estate agents, and delivery people – all by using a smartphone or tablet!
