Top 3 Innovations in Home Security Systems that Every Homeowner Should Know

When it comes to keeping out unwelcome invaders intent on theft, vandalism or causing homeowners harm, staying informed about the latest advances in home security is the best method to ensure safety and security. The increasing evolution and decreasing expense of available consumer technologies means that even those homeowners with a minimum of technical knowledge and experience can take advantage of robust, efficient gadgets that will help them sleep at night knowing they are protected. Some of the most promising of these include:

Customized Biometric Locks

Using the same principle behind security features standard on some higher-end cars, laptops and other popular electronic goods, programmable biometric locks can prevent unauthorized entry to the home at a minimal cost to the homeowner. Fingerprint and retinal scanners offer useful ways to maintain home security by locking out anyone not recognized by the system. Everyone's fingerprints and eyes are unique, and with no physical keys required that can be lost or stolen these systems complement more traditional physical security options such as deadbolt locks. Many biometric security packages even allow remote Internet access for added safety and convenience.

Wireless Internet Security Cameras

Tiny wireless cameras, readily available and now as inexpensive as a premium cup of coffee, mean homeowners can keep an eye on their home even when away from it. Connected to the Internet and viewable anywhere in the world on a computer or smartphone through a secure password-protected application, they act as extra eyes carrying out real-time surveillance to monitor activity in the home and contribute an extra sense of protection. By installing these cheap devices around the home, prowlers who somehow evade a security system to gain access will be captured on video and easy to identify by authorities.

Concealed Door Mat Alarms

Pressure-sensitive mats similar to those used in a grocery store's automatic doors add a new twist to home security systems. Placed underneath a home's welcome mat, tarps set below lower-floor windows or even hidden under rugs within the home, these low-cost mats sound an alarm when stepped on to let homeowners know someone is at the door. Intruders who sneak softly to hide their presence won't even realize their mistake until the police arrive to remove the menace - leaving the homeowner reassured that their loved ones are safe. And by coupling these alarms with wireless cameras and Internet access, greater security is provided at a nominal cost.
