Seeing who is at the door without the need to open it, or keeping an eye on different areas of the home, becomes effortless with smart security devices. Real-time video feed, motion detection alerts, colour night vision, and two-way talk enhance protection against unauthorised access, theft, or accidents, and provide peace of mind. Residents, carers and family members alike can receive alerts and check 24/7 live camera video in the event of anything out of the ordinary. Many cameras and doorbells can be connected to other smart devices, such as locks and alarms, for added security. Most smart cameras and doorbells are wireless and extremely user-friendly, making them a must-have for assisted living situations.
