Security Cameras Are Proven to Deter Criminals
Keep Your Home and Loved Ones Safe with the Latest Surveillance System
Is your home as safe as it should be? According to the National Council for Home Safety and Security, there is one burglary every 13 seconds in the U.S. While that statistic is somewhat alarming, the good news is that if your home has a security system, it is 300% less likely to be burglarized.
Adding a smart surveillance system and ensuring that some security cameras are visible is a proven measure to deter criminals. Today's systems are intuitive and proactive, stopping the unthinkable before it happens.
Let’s explore the latest surveillance systems and what they can do for you and your Covington, LA, home.

Remote Monitoring and Alerts
One of the most critical elements in a home surveillance system is ensuring the correct security camera placement to cover all vulnerable areas. Sensors that detect motion, glass breaking, and open doors and windows should also be installed strategically.
A common entryway for burglars is patio doors, followed by front windows and entryways. As soon as a sensor is triggered in any of these areas, you receive an alert on your smartphone and a pop-up video. You can look at live security camera feed no matter where you are, ensuring your loved ones and property are safe and secure.
Many of our clients also opt for remote monitoring, ensuring professionals have their back 24/7 and can call the appropriate emergency personnel in case of a security, environmental, or health threat.
An Integrated Solution
When integrated with a home automation platform, you experience the ultimate peace of mind. Now, your lights turn on when motion is detected, and a live video surveillance feed can pop up on your TV, tablet, or phone so you can see what’s happening. Thanks to your camera's two-way intercom, you can also speak to the person you’re viewing, whether a stranger at your front door, the kids returning home from school, or a pet sitter.
An Empty Home
Most break-ins occur in homes that look unoccupied. For this reason, police departments have made a point to recommend presence simulation. Integrated home automation solutions make this task an easy one. When you and your family are off on vacation, tap the "Away" button on an in-wall keypad by the door. This immediately arms the alarm and locks the doors. It also turns the lights, music, and TVs on and off at random intervals, making it look like your home’s occupied.
Should someone come to your door or sneak around the back when you’re away, you’ll receive an immediate alert and can check in via your video surveillance to determine if it's just the neighborhood kids running after a wayward ball or someone with ill intent.
