The benefits of CCTV and Smart Cameras to protect the home
Want to invest in smarter home security but don’t know where to begin? CCTV and Smart Cameras are easy to install and use and can play a major role in helping to better protect your home throughout the year. Smart Cameras can do a lot more than just prevent break-ins, they can also serve as communication devices, or help to ease the minds of worried family members or pet owners, thanks to setups that are designed to cover all angles both inside and outside of any property.
As a leading provider of smart home security products, we have highlighted the many ways that our Smart Camera and CCTV range can help you to improve your home security and protect the people and things that matter the most to you, all with no monthly fees.
Protect vulnerable areas like driveways and entries
Between October and December is when most insurance companies experience the greatest number of reported car thefts, as thieves prefer to strike when the nights are the longest and darkest. Looking for a way to ensure that you don’t become a part of these statistics? Placing visible CCTV and Smart Cameras at strategic positions like driveways, gardens, and garages can act as a huge deterrent for break-ins!
Our Outdoor Smart Camera range can be programmed to target specific vulnerable areas, as the customisable detection feature allows for monitoring selected areas surrounding your home. Meaning that you can specifically target spaces where your cars or expensive tools and gardening equipment are held. While avoiding areas you might not want to be recorded, like views of neighbours' homes or gardens.
Yale CCTV cameras include Motion Detection, which can determine whether any motion detected is a human or vehicle. Once you are notified of a motion alert in front of your home, you can simply check the footage on your DVR and see if the motion came from someone you know or an unknown party. Putting you in full control of your home security! Our Yale CCTV kits are easy to install and offer reliable live streaming with clear images around the clock. To help you to better protect your property, regardless of the time of year or weather conditions.
Front door cameras can help you better manage guests and visitors
Smart Cameras aren’t just useful for protecting your home against intruders, they can also help to make your life more convenient. Providing you with views of areas you wouldn’t have the chance to see unless you were physically there, like your front doorstep.
Looking for a quick and easy way to check who is knocking at your door if you are busy on a work call or making dinner? With the Yale Front Door Camera, you can check to see who is there, without having to get up from your seat! The camera also lets you have a conversation with people at your door using your phone, so you can see who has arrived, and ask them to come back at a more suitable time if you aren’t free to open the door to let them in.
And for families with kids, you can know who is at the door at all times. So if you need to send one of the kids to open the door, you can be sure they are letting in trusted family and friends. Making managing deliveries or guests much simpler for the entire household.
Keep an eye on valuables inside your home
When you spend your hard-earned money on nice things to decorate and fill your home you want to make sure that these personal possessions, both sentimental and valuable, are being protected at all times. Our Indoor Smart Cameras can grant you peace of mind by allowing you to see into your homes at all times, to ensure that your belongings are exactly as you left them.
Fully controllable using the Yale View app, our Indoor Smart Cameras provide a full view of any property, with no monthly fees. Want to guard your valuable items, like TVs, computers, workout gear, and more? Then the Indoor Pan & Tilt Camera is the smart device for you!
The Pan & Tilt Camera is user-friendly and allows you to move your camera to view the entire room for general protection, or programme it to focus on your most expensive items for a more specialised security experience. Helping to secure individual items for your peace of mind.
Motion detection can alert you of any disturbances
When you are away from your home during the day or on a trip do you spend a lot of time worrying about what its status will be when you return? Well, a major benefit to having Smart Cameras installed on your property is motion detection alerts. Thanks to motion detection you can always know when and if someone has entered your property!
Our Yale Smart Cameras provide customisable detection and monitoring, allowing for full protection of any property, while still being simple to set up and control using the Yale View app if you are older or less tech-savvy. Notifications sent once motion is detected make it easy for you to check the HD live feed, to see exactly what the disturbance was on your property. So you can quickly alert the police, or ask neighbours to check in on your home in your absence. Motion events can also be recorded so you can easily check the images with the app playback functionality whenever you want.
Communicate with pets or family while out of the house
Smart Cameras aren’t just a useful preventative security measure, they can also help you to check in on pets and loved ones whenever you can’t be home with them.
Our Yale Indoor Smart Cameras are ideal for working parents or pet owners, as they allow you to watch your kids or pets from anywhere inside and outside of the home, to make sure they are safe. So if you are a parent working from home, you can still work while also watching your baby sleep, or child play in another room. Allowing you to focus on your tasks, while also ensuring your child's safety.
The two-way audio feature on our Indoor Smart Cameras can also allow you to communicate with any pets at home waiting for you to return. While the live HD footage means that you can also check in on them at any point of the day, from anywhere in the world!
At Yale, we have a Smart Camera and CCTV solution to suit every security need. So you can go about your day confident that your homes will always be safe and protected!
