Smart door locks<br />
enable access for<br />
yourself, family and<br />
friends without the<br />
need for myriad keys<br />
send push notifications when<br />
members of the family have<br />
arrived home safely. Some locks<br />
also allow biometric access<br />
via fingerprint recognition.<br />
Another innovative gadget<br />
is the video doorbell, which lets<br />
you view your entrance and<br />
answer the front door via a<br />
smartphone or tablet. When<br />
you answer an alert, you can<br />
see and hear visitors and speak<br />
to them remotely, ideal if you<br />
want to let someone in while<br />
you’re out and about. Smart<br />
security systems send you an<br />
alert if the alarm is triggered.<br />
Security cameras<br />
Wi-fi-enabled outdoor smart<br />
security cameras provide<br />
round-the-clock surveillance,<br />
monitored via your smart<br />
device. “You can control your<br />
cameras and view footage<br />
remotely and, if something<br />
happens, be alerted in real<br />
time,” says Nick Nigro, account<br />
manager for home security<br />
firm Swann. Swann cameras<br />
use True Detect heat-sensing<br />
technology, so they’re about<br />
seven times more accurate<br />
than cameras that use motion<br />
detectors, says Nick. “The<br />
camera only records when it<br />
senses people, large pets and<br />
cars, which preserves battery<br />
life and means you only<br />
EXPERT TIP<br />
To ensure seamless<br />
connectivity<br />
between devices,<br />
it’s best to call in<br />
a tech expert<br />
get sent relevant push<br />
notifications,” he explains.<br />
Renters can also benefit<br />
– some devices are battery<br />
powered so there’s no need<br />
to drill holes or run cables; you<br />
just need a phone and a wi-fi<br />
connection. Certain cameras<br />
even have a built-in speaker,<br />
microphone and two-way audio<br />
functionality, allowing you to<br />
communicate with the person<br />
at your front door remotely. ◆<br />
