Looking for new clever ways to keep your property safe? Home security should always be a priority but even more so when you're going away on holiday or for a long period of time.
You should always aim to use a mixture of smart home technology (security cameras and detectors) and traditional security methods (window locks, light timers and even the WD-40 trick) to help keep your home safe and deter burglars, but remember this one thing...
'Unfortunately, most traditional security systems, such as alarms, are reactive solutions that will let you know when a burglary has occurred, but there is little you can do thereafter to stop it,' explain the experts at home security company Ring. 'Smartphone connected security devices, equipped with cameras and motion detectors, can send live video footage straight to you or your neighbours’ fingertips, meaning you can respond to and prevent suspicious activity before it happens.'
So here we've rounded up the best home security cameras, from free-standing styles to door bell options, enabling you to keep an eye on your home, even while you’re away.
This security camera also cleverly works with Alexa voice control and is easy to install at home.
