Home Security Essentials – Tip and Solutions for Overall Home Security

Home Security is a top priority that should be on everyone’s mind. Whether you are a homeowner or a tenant, the statistics can be daunting when it comes to how much you need security.

Even though it can be scary to think about, it is worth looking at the numbers. Current reports suggest that a burglary occurs less than every 30 seconds. Some people might find this number to be staggering. Others may think the odds are still in their favor. Our take is that you can never be to safe. Things of this nature occur when you least expect them.

Home Security Facts – Burglaries

That gets us to thinking, when do these incidents occur? Here are the facts:

• A significant potion of burglaries happen in the middle of the day.
• The summer months tend to have a higher volume of burglaries.
• Nighttime burglaries occur when perpetrators have heavily cased the home.

Let’s take a second to absorb this information. First, we have indication that contrary to what you’d naturally think, a large portion of burglaries occur in the middle of the day. In a general sense, we mostly think of bad guys lurking at night, trying to sneak around and find a way in. Although this does occur, the statistics prove that midday break-ins are extremely prevalent.

This makes sense when we consider strategy from a burglar perspective. If they are hitting a suburban neighborhood and want the best chance of no one being home, the middle of the day is a great bet. This is due to the fact that most homeowners are at work during these hours.

The second thing to consider is that summer months tend to have more break-ins. This is for a similar reason as the previous point; burglars want to avoid breaking in when anyone is home. The higher likelihood of people being out of their homes, the better chance for them to get away with their crime undetected.

Finally, data shows that many convicted burglars of nighttime break-ins admit to casing the place in advance. This is something that everyone should be aware of especially if you notice out-of-place lurkers.

Home Security Facts – Breaking Down Home Zones

When we think about the home security solutions we can implement to combat burglaries, it is important to break your home down into zones. With LaView, you have the option to choose a pre-built system, build a system that is tailored to your needs with our Build Your Kit Tool, or choose solutions one by one from our Smart Home Essentials.

With these various options, you can find the exact solutions that fit your style. More importantly, you can thoughtfully consider the different zones of your home and equip them accordingly.

Here is a breakdown of those zones with some ideas for the home security solutions that will suit your needs.

Front Door/Porch Home Security

The first, and most obvious, zone to think about is your front door/entry. Porch security is often one of the most important places to protect.

Studies show that over 30% of burglars gained access to their targeted home via an unlocked front door. Along with that, around half of convicted burglars admit to at least trying the front door knob as a means of easy entry. This calls for serious attention with your home security.

For this, we suggest either our optimized video doorbell or our innovative peephole Camera.

ONE Halo WiFi Doorbell Camera – $249 $159

This video doorbell camera is your first line of defense when it comes to unwanted visitors. It records in upgraded HD 3MP resolution to bring you the clearest and crispest image quality of any doorbell camera on the market.

On top of that, it uses Pir Thermal Detection to only detect the movement of people at your door. This dramatically lowers the frequency of false alarms and makes sure you know when someone is at the door. This is crucial technology especially for keeping an eye on your entrance when you’re not home.

That brings us to out next point: you can stream your HD footage straight to your phone! As long as you download the LaView ONE App, you’ll gain instant visual access to your doorstep. When a thermal motion event occurs, you can set the app to send you a mobile push notification so you can see exactly who is at the door, whether they ring the button or not.

ONE Peek Peephole Camera – $249 $209

The other option is the ONE Peek Peephole Camera. Instead of having a traditional doorbell style solution, you are upgrading your peephole. This WiFi camera is designed to slot seamlessly into your existing peephole. All you have to do is remove your current fisheye lens and utilize the remaining hole.

The camera records in full HD resolution and provides a family-friendly user experience. With that, you get an interior 4.3″ touchscreen monitor. This provides local access to your front door footage for anyone in the family.

The ONE Peek also uses PIR thermal detection to drop the rate of false alarms.

Overall, you get a front-and-center view of your entrance with the ability to view your HD home security camera footage locally or remotely.

Backyard Home Security

The next zone is the backyard. Many burglars will see if they can find an easy way to go undetected into the backyard. If it is night or the middle of the day when no one is home, they can likely achieve this without drawing any attention to themselves.

Here is your best line of defense for reliable, remote, outdoor coverage:

ONE Link Outdoor Battery Camera 2-Pack – $399 $199

The ONE Link WiFi system is the perfect solution for backyard security. In fact, it is a top-notch choice for any outdoor home security applications. This is due to the movable nature of the cameras along with their completely wireless design.

To make setting up even easier, the system includes a Smart Station which plugs directly into your router. From there, you synch the cameras with the touch of a single button, using your existing WiFi network.

The ONE Link cameras feature HD 1080P resolution for excellent clarity, along with PIR thermal detection. As you can likely tell, PIR thermal detection is crucial for outdoor coverage!

Garage Home Security

Protecting your garage is an important part of your home security. This is due to the fact that you keep your vehicles there, potentially other high value assets (tools, exercise equipment, etc.), and it may be another entrance to your home once breached.

For those reasons, we recommend one of our most powerful crime-deterring solutions:

ONE Nova Floodlight Security Camera – $249 $169

The ONE Nova Floodlight Camera is the perfect watchful eye for placing over your garage. This is actually a great way of keeping an eye on most of your exterior. The Nova records in HD 1080P resolution with two large floodlights that flash on with motion.
