It is said that "home is where the heart is." Your home is not only the ideal place to unwind after a long day at work, but it is also your largest financial investment.

As a result, it's only natural to go to great lengths to defend your home and keep it safe and secure from intruders. In today's digital age, homeowners have access to a wealth of high-tech equipment that can help them smarten their houses and keep them safe from intruders. Let's look at the top seven most beneficial gadgets that will keep your home safe and provide you with complete piece of mind. 

Web security cameras

When it comes to smartening your house, security cameras are the go-to equipment. These cameras are becoming smaller and smarter every day, with a greater emphasis on style and design. To keep a careful eye on what is going on in your home, you can either mount these cameras on the wall or position them on a side table. You may also use cameras with facial recognition features to keep track of who enters and exits your home. 

Digital peephole

Gone are the days when the only way to see who is on your doorstep was through a peephole. You may scan your doorstep through an LCD screen installed near your door with a digital peephole. This device also has the advantage of giving you a full view of the corridor rather than the restricted perspective of a standard peephole. Additionally, because of the larger vision, you may see people of various heights. 

Motion sensors

Motion sensors are the ideal answer for homeowners who want to keep a close eye on their home's security while maintaining the privacy of the people who live there. These devices may detect any movement and send a notification to your smartphone or set off an alarm. These sensors can be activated in the late hours of the night, when the only movement in your living room or stairwell will be that of intruders. 

Dog alarms

Burglars and dogs are seldom a good combination. With these barking dog alarms, which use microwave and radar technologies, you can keep your property safe. The alarm is set off by a loud and very convincing sound of a barking dog, which is sure to scare any intruder away. You can select from a variety of pre-programmed barking noises to suit your needs. 

Lawn cameras

Your lawn and backyard are also important aspects of your residence. Because they are the first points of entry for a burglar, protecting them should be your primary priority. Lawn cameras, which available in a variety of forms and designs, can be used to fill in the gaps in your home's blind spots. These devices don't even resemble cameras, making it much simpler for trespassers and thieves to be duped. 

TV deterrents

This cutting-edge device offers the false impression that your television is on when it is not. It emits a succession of LED images and projections the lights and colours onto your home's walls and windows. An invader may easily mistake these lights for late-night television viewing and walk away rather than breaking in. You can set a timer for this device and plug it in at night or while running errands.
