Home is the place where you should feel safest, so to help protect your property, it’s important to be aware of what’s happening around it. Installing security cameras can help provide added peace of mind while also allowing you to stay connected to things that are most important: like your home and family. They can help you keep an eye on your house even when you’re away — so if there’s a concern, you can take action.

The Benefits Of Indoor And Outdoor Security Cameras

Help you stay in the know — Home security cameras can aid in self-monitoring your property, particularly in areas that are concealed or outside of the view. Features such as motion sensors, night vision and HD video can help you keep an eye on vehicles as well as structures such as barns, sheds and garages.

Some cameras have built-in security sirens that can be activated from an app on your phone.

Keep you connected with family — With a security camera’s live video and two-way audio capabilities, you’ll be able to check in on your family while you’re out at the grocery store, and even remind them to set the dinner table before you return.

And when it comes to leaving your pets home alone, an indoor security camera can help put your mind at ease. You can use it to check in on them throughout the day and make sure they’re staying out of mischief. If your pooch happens to accidentally sneak out, your outdoor security cameras will send you an alert when they detect motion from your four-legged friend roaming around the backyard.

Save and share your videos — In addition to viewing live video, smart security cameras allow you to watch, save and share your device’s recorded footage right from your phone. Whether it’s a video of a good deed done by a neighbor or a special moment between your kids, you’ll be able to save and share them with friends, family and the community.

Security cameras can be particularly useful in the unfortunate event of a security or safety incident. Video recordings may be valuable for law enforcement investigations or insurance claims. And if your home is damaged by a storm or another type of accident, you may be able to look back at video footage to determine what happened and how to prevent it in the future.

You can also share your camera’s video recordings with your community via social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube or the Neighbors App, a free app that provides real-time local crime and safety alerts. Whether you’re hoping to share footage for safety purposes or you’ve recently captured a kind, neighborly moment, the Neighbors App helps to connect communities and make neighborhoods safer.

An additional subscription is required in order to record, store and share videos from a home security camera.
