Safeguard Your Home and Family with a Professional Video Surveillance Installation

Few truths have withstood centuries of human history better than “life is complicated.” And so, we turned to technology to make things simpler. Unfortunately, many have found that it actually makes life even more complicated. But SimpleHome changes everything!

As our name indicates, at SimpleHome we are all about simplifying your home life through smart technologies and their integration into your everyday activities. We make it easy to interact with your home. Most importantly, we offer technology that keeps your family safe. We do this with a video surveillance installation.

Protect your home and monitor everything on your property right from a tablet or smartphone. From watching your kids walk through the front gate or sleeping through the night, the peace of mind that comes from protecting your family, even when you are not there, is unparalleled. Here are three reasons why installing a surveillance video system at home will simplify your life and save you time and money in the long run.

You have decided to improve your smart home with a video surveillance system, bought the cameras, and are ready to go. Now, where exactly are you installing them? Ceiling and wall-mounted cameras at vulnerable access points are great. Adding a video doorbell by the front door helps you keep track of deliveries and an eye out for the occasional porch pirate.

Properly positioning cameras inside your home is just as important. Hidden nanny cams, for instance, are an invaluable tool to keep track of your kids, the elderly, and visitors or caretakers. If you have a large property, it would also benefit from cameras installed in potential blind spots throughout the terrain. SimpleHome can help you locate the best areas and install them for you.

Integration, Integration, Integration 

To optimize video surveillance, cameras must first be integrated with other technology systems in your home, such as landscape lighting, smart locks, and access controls. Selecting smart products designed with integration in mind is a solid first step.

At SimpleHome, we collaborate with local experts in some of the most effective smart homes in the US, installing only the top industry brands on every one of our projects. But how exactly does integrating video surveillance lead to a simpler, better life? It’s simple, and it has a lot to do with automation.

Imagine you are vacationing on the other side of the world and receive a notification that there is someone at the door. It’s your child. She lost her keys and smartphone.

You let her know everything is fine through the video doorbell’s intercom. Then, using the Control4 app on your phone, you unlock the door and turn every light on at home. Once she goes inside, you keep an eye on her to make sure everything is ok before asking the bartender by the tropical pool for another drink.
