Home Security and Smart Home

When it comes to your home security, at smartgeek we take it seriously. In most cases we do recommend going with a larger monitoring company as your home will be monitored 2/47 and 365 days a year. We work with providers that offer full home services from flooding sensors, to monitored smoke alarms, security cameras and sensors. Covering all corners of your home.
There are cases when that is not possible, due to unforeseen situations. In that case self monitoring home security would be the only option.
Smart Home for home security
Smart Home devices are an option. The smart home kits usually include two devices for connecting your hub or mobile application. Furthermore, as you start adding more devices the price tag might increase exponentially. Some devices might even cost you a lot more then you have planned for.
Above all, these are great devices unfortunately most of the devices are WIFI devices. Without proper updates and monitoring, these devices can be hacked. Using these devices, a skilled hacker, might gain access to your network and spy on your activity and bad things can happen from there.
DVR and CCTV
The other options for your home security are cctv cameras with a DVR for recording. You have probably been in an electronic store, and have seen 4 to 16 cameras hanging on a wall with a DVR unit connected to them. A unit with 4 cameras and a DVR may cost around $200 with SD resolution or $500 with HD or UHD resolution. The DVR unit usually is equipped with 1TB or 2TB HDD storage for recording. With these units unfortunately will have to run wires to connect the cameras and DVR together. Usually 100 feet of cable is included with the Kit but if you do have a larger property, that cable will not be enough and you would have to run extensions or new longer cable altogether.
This is a great option for your home security. But unfortunately this system has limitations. The system is strictly for cameras, and you will not be able to add Smart Home devices. Additionally, cloud storage options might be limited or non existent depending on the model you purchase. In that case your cloud is your DVR at home.
