Features that every security system must have

Security systems are good only if they are 100% effective. Also, they should include the latest technologies and the best features. Security systems that use only a few sensors and alarm are history. New systems are more complicated and sophisticated, which makes them very efficient.

Wireless technology is mandatory

New security systems use wireless technology to increase the level of security. You should know that old security systems were based on telephone line. Due to the fact a burglar could ''cut the wire'' and disable the system, they were inefficient. Today's security systems use Wi-Fi to link sensors, central monitoring station and the home. This makes them far less vulnerable to the possible attacks.

HD cameras offer the highest quality of video

Previous generations of security systems used black and white cameras. They weren't effective, especially at night. Also, recording time was short. Now, modern systems use HD cameras, with small dimensions so they can be placed anywhere the customer wants. Even better is recording time. Thanks to huge hard drives that provide gigabytes of space these cameras can record forever.

Home automation technology can make a difference

Home automation technology maybe sounds complicated, but it is very easy to understand. In essence, it offers a connection between the security system and a smartphone, tablet or a computer. User can monitor the system information and get video from the cameras. The technology offers the ability to: lock/unlock doors, adjust the thermostat, turn on/off the lights and arm or disarm the security system.

The basic technology has been improved

Sensors are important to every security system. When choosing your next system, make sure it has the best sensors. In recent years, they were improved. For example, a sensor can detect if someone tries to open your window or to get access to your control panel. In addition, there are humidity and temperature sensors that can detect floods and fires. The more sensors a security system has, more efficient the system will be.

Panic button is available as well

A panic button can be worn all the time. A person can use it when he/she requires emergency help. This feature is recommended for elderly and people with health issues. The response time of an emergency service is much shorter thanks to a panic button.

The main purpose of a security system is to provide a high level of protection against all possible threats, including burglars. In this case, the most complicated system is usually the best.
