Smart security cameras capture images, record footage, and monitor activity in and around your home or business in real-time. A smart security camera system can be integrated with new or existing smart home automation, and be customized for both wired or wireless usage. When paired with a smartphone, owners can configure their security system to preferred settings, and monitor activity over an app or the web. They provide 24/7 protection and peace of mind with access from anywhere.

Security cameras have been in use for over 50 years, however, with the introduction of smart technology, security cameras today have more robust and sophisticated features that can enhance security and the user experience. Face tag, GPS, and motion detection are a few key benefits of today’s smart security camera features.

Many homeowners and businesses install smart security cameras as a safety measure to alert them of unusual or suspicious activity and to monitor their families or employees. With more consumers shopping online, doorbell cameras, for instance, are very helpful for preventing package theft as homeowners can speak to anyone who approaches the area around their front door. These systems can also be programmed to dispatch authorities or law enforcement to a specific location in the event of an emergency. However, it’s important to note that smart security cameras are used for more than to prevent crime. Parents and pet owners often have smart security cameras installed throughout their homes to keep a watchful eye on pets, children, and even older family members while they’re away. They appreciate the ability to see and communicate with their pet or child directly via two-way audio through their security system. Businesses often set up cameras to monitor entrances/exits, cash registers, stock rooms, etc. to monitor the ins and outs of the business every day without having to be on site.

Incorporating smart security cameras in and around your home and business can bring peace of mind. Geeks on Site is an authorized Ring dealer. If you have questions regarding smart security cameras and professional camera installation by our Geeks on Site technicians, contact us at 1-888-799-4335.

Home security cameras are the key to having a comprehensive and effective home security system. With this goal in mind, it is important to purchase quality cameras that deliver clear images. These cameras are then mounted in strategic locations that overlook critical areas around your home and the rest of your property to monitor activity.

The cameras connect to your alarm system and smart home system via Wi-Fi and provide an app for your phone that allows you to see what they see from wherever you are in the world. When installed and maintained properly, security cameras serve three important functions as part of your home security system:

• Provide constant surveillance so that you can see anything that is happening within their range 24/7/365.
• Provide a video record of the activity happening within their range.
• Provide a trigger for your alarm system to advise you and the police of any unusual activity on your property.

Geeks on Site’s team of experienced techs can professionally install all of your security cameras. Once you have selected the cameras and mounts that work best for you and your home, Geeks on Site’s technicians will quickly and professionally install the equipment.

Motion detectors, or sensors, are an important part of your home security system. They register movement in your home and alert you to possible problems. Placed strategically around doors, windows, and other possible points of entry to your home, motion detectors use multiple technologies to transmit information about the movement they detect to your home security system’s monitoring center. Your monitoring center then alerts you to the activity happening in your home.

Used in tandem with your home security system’s cameras, motion detectors can also work with your smart home features to save energy by turning lights on or off, for example, or work with your thermostat to adjust the temperature throughout rooms.

Like any other part of your home security system, motion detectors only work when they are placed where you need them and are properly maintained. Often, that placement occurs when you have your security cameras professionally installed.

The experienced techs at Geeks on Site are available to make recommendations about where motion detectors should be installed as well as professionally install the motion detectors. Our techs will also work with you to make sure the motion detectors are syncing with your security system and showing up in your mobile app if you have one.

Our team of techs is the perfect choice for installing your motion detectors as part of your security system because they have all of the necessary tools to properly install these. Our installation service also comes with a 7-day warranty for that added peace of mind. We have been the go-to installer of security systems for homes and businesses nationwide for years. Contact Geeks on Site today to discuss adding motion detectors to your security system.
