Security Cameras for Total Coverage

Security cameras are standard in many home security systems. These high-tech tools help you keep an eye on things with a crystal clear feed of your home, inside and out. Whether you’re at work or on vacation, remote viewing allows you to monitor your property in real time from a smartphone. Security cameras offer greater peace of mind and convenience, from spotting who’s at the door to checking on the kids in the yard.

Motion Sensors to Catch Suspicious Activity

While cameras provide a consistent view of your property, motion sensors help detect movement in specific areas. By placing them strategically, motion sensors can alert you to any unusual activity around your home, especially in areas where cameras might not reach. Motion sensors can also trigger outdoor lighting or notify your phone, ensuring you’re always aware of what’s happening. 

Video Doorbells for Safer Interactions

Video doorbells have become a must-have safety feature for many homeowners. These smart devices allow you to see and speak with visitors at your front door, even when you're not home. They keep an eye out for package thieves and help you to feel more secure when answering the door. Video doorbells can also supply authorities with footage should there be an incident in your neighborhood. This technology has proven to help capture criminals by catching them in the act.

Smart Home Integration for Seamless Control

Integrating a home security system with other smart devices—like automated lights or locks—can provide even more control and safety. For example, you can schedule a system to lock the doors and turn off lights when you leave or automatically activate your system at night. You can also use a vacation setting to make your home appear occupied when you’re away. Integration with a smart home control system makes managing your home’s security as simple as using your smartphone.

Home security systems today are packed with features to protect your family and property. Monitor your property remotely, detect motion in key areas, or integrate security into a smart home system. At SoundWaves, we have solutions that can be tailored to your specific needs. Let us help you choose and install a system to provide safety and greater peace of mind in your Main Line, PA, home—contact us today.
