Both surveillance cameras and alarm systems in place are examples of safety measures and security options that can help secure your new home and keep your family and loved ones safe.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, we will further explore other recommended security options that act as safety measures in securing your new home, family, and loved ones in this article.<\/p>\n

1. CCTV surveillance cameras<\/h3>\n

The first security option we will be introducing is CCTV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

CCTV cameras are no strangers to homeowners and families. They are affordable physical security options to cater to basic security needs for all family sizes.

2. Video recorder<\/h3>\n

The next security option to be introduced is video recorder.<\/p>\n

CCTV camera footages are usually stored in a secured cloud or on-premises server for future references. In case of break-ins or accidents on site, image or video footage could be archived and be used as evidence to eliminate losses. For example, by checking the app and security database, you could see how your new home was broken into.<\/p>\n

3. Sensors and alarms<\/h3>\n

Sensors such as motion and door sensors are also great security options. As stated in the graph above, they also act as deterrence.<\/p>\n

Motion sensors are triggers that could alert users of unwanted movements in certain areas which could be easily set based on your new home\u2019s security needs. You can choose where you wish to install these motion sensors by seeking professional advice from security providers in targeting blind spots that are hard to reach through other security options or safety measures. Safety measures upon unwanted triggers on the motion sensors would be taken in alarming you and other administrators. If you are away and have armed your security system, your sensors will detect unexpected movement in and around any area where the sensors are installed; the sensors will send both the Security app users and the 24-hour monitoring centre an alert signal, which can be swiftly investigated. Motion sensors without the camera function are recommended security options for those who emphasize security without compromising privacy. All in all, sensors are a great security option and feature for an ease of mind while you are away from your home.<\/p>\n

This security option is a rather unique one. Not all security providers provide a panic button as a security option. Panic button is also a safety measure that can meet your security needs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
