One often sees comments about unexplained “voices” over the camera two way speaker speaking to the kid when the parents are away, and the suspicion that if that’s the case, someone is also watching. This focus on security is missing from this write up. Whether you’re looking to get started with a home security system or you’re looking to upgrade or replace an existing system, The Home Depot has the top brands for just the right level of security for your home and property. Getting Started A good place to start would be with our Home Security Systems Buying Guide to determine what type of system would be best for your home. You can choose from wired and wireless security cameras, systems that are monitored by a third party or yourself as well as smart security systems. Be sure to keep weather and location in mind when choosing indoor security systems versus outdoor security systems and ones that can be utilized in both places. From there, determining which security cameras to purchase is made easier with our Security Cameras Buying Guide. All the rage, smart security cameras are very convenient option. All the Right Parts to Cover all Your BasesNow that you’re ready to begin purchasing a system, it’s time to determine the type and number of cameras, sensors, detectors and alarms you’ll need.

Household objects such as pens, clocks, lamps and even watches may contain devices to see and hear what you are doing. Closely examine your home's windows, as the exterior of windows are excellent places for installing illegal surveillance devices since no one has to break into your home to install them. Conduct “sweeps” of your home on a regular basis. Keep an eye out for any signs of a break in as well as any strangers that come inside or even near your home. A phony meter reader or telephone repairmen is an old trick, but that doesn’t mean an estranged spouse or business partner wouldn't also try to insert illegal surveillance in your home. Also, securing the perimeter of your home prevents someone from installing surveillance equipment at the outset. Consider purchasing a home security system to prevent break ins, deter unsavory characters from your property and monitor the whereabouts of individuals you do allow into your private space. You might recognize the Ring brand for its doorbell cameras. But the company has branched out and added its smart surveillance technology to this compact outdoor security camera. Because it can be difficult to find power sources for outside cameras, we like that the Ring Spotlight Cam has three power options: battery, hardwired, or solar. It also has a built in, motion activated spotlight that will stop trespassers in their tracks.

With the need to create and store multiple passwords these days, we need to find ways to become more creative when creating passwords as well as storing them in safe spots; where only you and you alone will know where to find them. I'd like to give you a few healthy tips when it comes to password security. Do not use the same password for all your needs. Do not use birth dates and names of family members or pets. Use passwords that are a combination of numbers and letters. Store passwords in places that can easily be remembered.
