Home security systems have pretty much become a standard in every household in most parts of the world—the security camera is the most important component of these systems.
These cameras are practically everywhere now, as they’re small, easy to conceal and carry out surveillance 24/7.
The rise in popularity of security cameras, however, is not surprising, seeing as how 4.3% of households in Australia experienced break-ins or attempted break-ins in 2021.
Apart from helping you ensure the security of your home, home security cameras offer a range of benefits for you and your family.
If you’re thinking of investing in a home security system for your home, here are some of the benefits you can expect to enjoy from these nifty-little cameras.
As mentioned earlier, thousands of Australian homes suffered break-in attempts last year—home security cameras are a great way to negate this threat.
Today, most modern security cameras can detect intruders trying to get into your home and notify the police, but their use doesn’t end there; they can help authorities investigate the crime by providing them with video evidence of the break-in attempts.
Many studies have also found that having a home security system installed in your home can drastically reduce break-in attempts on your property, as the presence of a security camera will make would-be intruders think twice about trying to break into your sanctuary.
Some of the latest security cameras even have features that allow you to remotely monitor your home by sending a live video feed to your smartphone or computer, allowing you to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity around your property – even when you’re not in your home.
Sometimes, it can be difficult to keep an eye out on the kids while you’re working, and it’d be nice to have an extra set of eyes watching over the kids.
Home security cameras can easily function as baby/kids monitoring cameras and allow you to always keep an eye on your children. Also, when you’re leaving kids alone with a babysitter, a home security camera will allow you to make sure the kids are properly cared for.
Not just that, these cameras can also come in handy for looking after elderly family members.
If you ever have to leave them at home alone when you’re going to work, security cameras can double as a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) device and alert you if there’s any medical emergency.
Your home security camera can be just as beneficial for your neighbours as it’s for you – what your camera captures could potentially help keep your community safe from crimes.
For instance, if you live in an area where crime and home break-ins are prevalent, video recordings from your security camera can be used to help to detect and report suspicious activity in your neighbourhood.
Also, if your neighbours become victims of a crime, recordings from your CCTV camera could play a role in assisting the authorities to track down the perpetrators.
If you have experience dealing with insurance companies, then you know that how secure your home is can play a vital role in reducing your insurance premium.
If you have a home security system installed, most Australian insurance companies may reward you with a deduction to your insurance premium, which can be helpful when you’re recovering from theft or vandalism.
This is a small, but useful benefit.
Sometimes thieves and other dangerous individuals are bold enough to walk into your home right through the front door.
By having a security camera installed near your front door, you can take a look at anyone knocking on your door before opening it, helping stop yourself from potentially letting a suspicious person into your home.
By installing security cameras around your home, you can not only boost your sanctuary’s security but also watch over your family and help keep your neighbours safe as well.
