Install a Smart Video Doorbell

One of the most common additions that people are making to their home is a smart doorbell. Yes your doorbell can be smart. The great thing is that the doorbell is actually part of your security. The doorbell has many functions and one is that it can be rung to alert that someone is at the door. It can also be a camera that will start to record when it sees movement in its path. This is great when there is an unwanted guest coming up to your house. It can also be if you have a problem with the ever present porch pirate. You have video evidence that someone came to your house and took a package. You can give it to your local police department and they can open a case for you. The doorbell also has an app that you can use to check in front of your house. That way when you are not home you still have a way to monitor what is going on. Lastly they also can have a speaker and microphone that allows you to speak to a person that might be at your house. The speaker is a great way to communicate and not have to make any contact with someone you don’t know.

Add Security Lights
