Home Security: How Can a WiFi Security Camera Benefit my home?

Over recent years people have become increasingly more self sufficient in all aspects of life and yours and your loved one’s safety is something you don’t want to have to rely on anyone else for. In London for example, the Met, the UK’s largest police force, average response time for the most severe incidents was within 15 minutes. If someone has broken into your home it could be too late to catch them in the act.

This is when home security cameras come in. Not only can they serve as deterrents, you also stand a much better chance of identifying the perpetrators with the footage from the device.

Let’s take a more detailed look into how an outdoor WiFi camera can benefit your home security.

Deter criminals from ever taking action

Being proactive instead of reactive can prevent your home from ever being targeted in the first place.

There are several different types of security cameras that act as effective deterrents against crime.

Take a floodlight camera for example. There’s nothing like a bright floodlight beaming down to let any would-be criminals know they’re being watched.

Some cameras such as the time2 Luna floodlight security cameras also come with a built-in siren that can be manually activated to alert the neighborhood to danger and scare intruders away.

Identifying the perpetrators

If you become the victim of a crime in your own home, having recorded footage of the incident can assist authorities in catching those who committed the crime.

Having a security camera monitor your home 24/7 can give you peace of mind. Cameras available today can give you HD footage meaning you’ll have a clear image of the incident.

Footage is readily available and easily retrievable. Smart security cameras can record events as they happen so you won’t have to sift through hours of footage to find what you need.

The time2 range of security cameras also give you the option of recording locally onto an SD card inserted into the camera or recording directly onto cloud storage. Cloud storage means that even if your device is stolen or damaged your footage will be securely stored in the cloud, ready to be viewed at any time.

Smart security cameras that are compatible with their own app make it very simple to download and share the footage you need. The time2 Clan at Home app for example, allows you save footage directly onto your smartphone device.

What’s more even if you opt for a battery-operated camera, they have working times of months so you don’t need to be worried about your camera losing power and leaving you unprotected.

Advanced features to level-up your home security

Smart technology has become more common in recent years and security cameras have been a part of the technological advances.

You’ll find a lot of devices available for use at home have state-of-the-art tech within them. They give you huge benefits when it comes to home security and monitoring.

It’s becoming routine to see night vision capable security cameras today, and they’re available at wallet-friendly prices. It means that your security cameras will keep you protected night and day and you’ll still have top quality footage even in the dark.

Some outdoor WiFi cameras and indoor feature human detection. This means that you won’t be inundated with false alerts every time the cat passes the devices field of view.

Motion and audio detection alerts make it easy to react to anything that is happening at your property as it happens. Your smartphone can receive instant notifications alerting you to any movement or sound.

Taking home security into your own hands can put you in harms way. With smart security cameras coming equipped with a two-way talk function you can communicate with intruders at your property without having to physically face them. Letting them know the police have been called could be enough to prevent them taking any further action.
