ADT home security Indianapolis is the first phrase I searched on Google when I moved into my new home. My job requires me to travel often, and I’m away from for weeks. For me having reliable security is important but even if you don’t travel regularly it is important to protect your home and family.

Fortunately, technology has made protecting your home easier and more convenient than it has ever been before. There are a few gadgets available that give you access to your home no matter where you are. Here are a few good ones to check out.

Best Buy

Best Buy offers the Home Management Solutions system that gives you the ability to control your home while you travel. You can get up to five cameras placed on your property that will give you a clear image of what is going. One of the first things a criminal will look for is whether or not the lights are on and if it seems like there’s activity going on inside. With the Home Management Solutions system you can set a timer to turn on the lights during the evening when most people are home from work and have them turn off before you go to sleep to give the appearance of you sticking to your regular schedule.

The Home Security Solutions system will even alert you if one of your doors are not locked, and you can adjust the thermostat while away too. Adjusting the thermostat is a great feature because in the winter months you can have the heat off while you’re away to save money and turn it on as you commute back to enter a warm house.

Cost efficient option

If you don’t have the resources to buy an expensive security system with multiple cameras to guard your home there are alternative options. If you have a computer with a webcam you can buy security programs that will stream the video of your home to your phone. Yawcam is one program that you can install on your computer that is simple to use, and best of all, it is free of charge. It has many of the features that the more expensive programs have too.

• Video streaming-Similar to the security cameras you find at the stores you can set up your webcam to give you a view of home to make sure everything is good.
• Snapshots-You can get snapshots sent to you via email if you see someone in your home that shouldn’t be there, and you can take the necessary course of action.
• Schedule-You can set the time you would like to record from and have it turn off when a family member gets home.
• Motion detection-You may not be able to see the intruder on cam but you will be alerted when someone is in your home.

With these home security gadgets you can travel with peace of mind knowing that you can keep an eye on your home no matter where you are.
