Home security often includes both the physical security hardware put into a home and people’s personal security techniques. Physical security equipment includes locks, doors, windows, glass break detectors, lighting, and security cameras. But the goal of home security is to protect assets and family members from crime.

The alarm system is often integrated with security hardware. One example is the use of smoke and heat detectors to trigger an alarm in the case that there is a fire or smoke inside of the home. Other tactics include dummy or fake alarms, which are set off in cases where people try to answer false alarms. This allows homeowners to practice prevention measures and learn how to react should an emergency situation occur.

Many homeowners also use home security systems to train their household staff in how to respond to emergencies. Some alarm companies provide professionally monitored systems usually based on the type of alarm system used. These types of systems usually have cameras and other surveillance equipment that can be armed and disarmed remotely. When the alarm system is armed, the monitoring staff listens for the alarm and then contacts the appropriate authorities. Professional monitoring service usually has recorded video evidence on hand to show if an emergency situation has been handled properly.

Some home security systems also incorporate smart home gadgets, which may be cameras or smoke detectors or other items. Some of these items, such as smoke detectors, are able to communicate with the local fire department in real-time. Other examples include window sensors that are able to detect whether a window has been broken.

Another type of home security technology is the use of smart locks. In most instances, a smart lock will require two signatures to be opened: a thumbprint and a credit card. The homeowner is provided with a pin number or other form of access to open the lock. Most home security systems allow the homeowner to set a password to enter the home systems; however, smart locks are becoming more popular because they are easier to install and use, even for a new homeowner.

Home security systems may also include other devices such as motion detectors or lights. Many devices used to deter criminals are triggered by movement, such as when an alarm goes off or an intruder is spotted. A burglar sees that there is a security system and may decide not to try to break in. Other security cameras or lights may be set up in strategic locations around the house to record activity. Some devices have video doorbells that sound an alarm when any of the glass in front of it is touched.
