Protect Your Property From Afar
Rest easy, knowing that you can monitor your house in real-time while you’re at work or away for the weekend. Outside, cameras placed strategically around your doors, garage and driveway can record suspicious activity and attempted break-ins, then store the footage on a digital platform that you can access and watch any time through your smartphone, laptop or tablet. Inside your home, cameras can be trained to keep watch over valuables like a safe or gun cabinet.
In many cases, just the sight of a camera is enough to deter would-be intruders and you won’t need to use your footage for identification. However, have peace of mind knowing that you can remotely access, start, stop or watch any of your video cameras from wherever you are.
For greater protection, we recommend integrating security cameras with motion sensors and smart lighting control. That way, your cameras will only start recording when someone enters a set range around your house or in a room. At the same time, the sensor can trigger lights to blaze on and scare away an intruder. You’ll receive an alert on your phone so that you can immediately send the police to your house.
Keep an Eye on Things at Home
Video surveillance can also help you feel more secure when you’re at home. Cameras located around your patio and backyard can help you feel comfortable enough to relax inside the house while the kids splash around in the pool. You can keep an eye on them the whole time from your tablet or laptop.
We also recommend that you integrate outdoor cameras with a smart doorbell and intercom system. That way, when someone rings your doorbell, you can see who it is over video and communicate via intercom. Accept deliveries or send away salespeople without even answering the door.
At Electronics Professionals, we have camera options for pan-tilt-zoom, covert, long-range and more. We can design and install a new security system in your Lafayette, LA, home or add surveillance cameras to your existing system.
