Which smart camera would best suit your lifestyle?
Smart security cameras can upgrade your home security and help to make your home safer. When looking to invest in security cameras, what you are interested in protecting can have a direct effect on which camera is best suited for your home. Is it better to invest in cameras that only target the outside of your house to prevent break-ins, or indoor cameras that can be used to protect expensive belongings? Or even a combination of both?
Security cameras have many benefits, but figuring out a system that suits your specific needs is important to get the most out of your home security. Yale has taken an in-depth look at the benefits of both indoor and outdoor cameras so that consumers can decide for themselves what camera to invest in.
Smart Indoor Cameras
Indoor IP cameras like the Yale Indoor Wi-Fi Camera - HD and the Indoor Wi-Fi Camera - Pan & Tilt will let you see inside your house while you are away, and also allow you to be safe within your home. Sleekly designed, elegant, and highly functional Yale indoor IP cameras are easily controlled via the Yale View app and will seamlessly blend into your home. The smart tracking feature on the Indoor Wi-Fi Camera - Pan & Tilt camera enables automatic detection and the following and recording of moving objects. And if privacy is needed then the lens can be hidden via the privacy mode on the Yale View App, leaving you in full control.
Indoor cameras are ideal for working parents or pet owners, as they allow you to watch your kids or pets from anywhere to make sure they are safe. So you could be working from home while still being able to watch your baby sleep, or child play in another room, using them as an alternative to a baby monitor. Allowing you to focus on your tasks, while also ensuring your child's safety.
The Yale range of indoor cameras can be controlled with leading voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and viewed on your favourite screen enabled smart speaker, making your busy life that bit easier. If you are making dinner in the kitchen or trying to put your children to bed when the door rings, then you can see who is at the door and communicate with them without having to run to answer it.
An indoor camera can help you check on any movement inside the house while you are out and about, giving you full peace of mind, knowing that your home is safe at all times. With the Yale Indoor Camera range, if any movement is detected, a notification will be sent to your phone, so you can check the live HD camera feed using the Yale View app. So if you were to go on holiday and the camera would’ve sensed motion, there would be no need to panic! All you would have to do is simply open the app, connect to the live feed, and see what the disturbance was within your house with the touch of a button.
The Yale Indoor Camera range can also be integrated with the Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm and fully controlled via the Yale Home app. The integration allows you to automatically put linked cameras into privacy mode once you disarm your alarm (available when using the Yale Indoor Wi-Fi Camera - Pan & Tilt). Adding even more convenience.
Smart Outdoor Cameras
Outdoor security cameras would be the more traditional form of security cameras that come to mind when thinking of CCTV or home camera systems. When visible, outdoor cameras can act as a deterrent for burglars. But they can also be used for more than security purposes like checking on visitors, seeing when packages arrive and more. The Yale Front Door Camera and Outdoor Pro Wi-Fi Camera are easy to install and offer enhanced night vision, motion detection, and built-in light and siren. Giving you perfect footage 24/7 regardless of the time of day or weather.
The Yale Outdoor Camera range can be programmed to target specific areas of the garden & driveway. The customisable detection feature also allows for monitoring of specific areas surrounding the home, so users can specifically target more vulnerable spots, while avoiding areas people might not want to be recorded, like views of neighbours' homes or gardens. The Yale CCTV kits, available within the outdoor camera range, are easy to install and offer reliable live-streaming with clear images around the clock to help you to protect your property.
If you are in the middle of an important task and there is a knock at the door, with the Yale Front Door Camera, you can check to see who is there without having to get up from your seat. It also allows users to have a conversation with people at their door via phone, so you can both see who has arrived, and ask them to come back at a more suitable time.
Both indoor and outdoor security cameras have their own benefits, but investing in both will give you a more complete home security experience. Using the Yale View App, the entire Yale Smart Security Camera range can offer you additional functionalities. Share cameras with family and friends, schedule loop and motion detection recordings, group cameras together and view up to four simultaneously all from your phone. Yale offers you a smart camera solution to suit your every security need so you can be sure that your home will always be safe and protected.
