Keep in mind that the control panel connects all of your security devices, allows you to arm and disarm your system, and do so much more, so don&#8217;t cheap out on this component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Door and window sensors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having such sensors is essential, especially if you live on the ground floor or if your building is structured in such a way that a burglar could easily climb up and break through your windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motion detectors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be pretty obvious why having motion sensors is a good idea, especially in the rooms where you&#8217;re not expecting anybody to go at night, and especially at your entrance or front porch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doorbell camera<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of having a classic visor (through which burglars can also look), it&#8217;s a better idea to have a doorbell camera so that only you can see who&#8217;s at your door. Keep in mind that we also recommend having a backup generator for this feature in case the power ever goes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audio sensor for glass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In case the motion sensors and window sensors don&#8217;t get triggered, the glass-breaking ones surely do. These sensors listen out for high decibel levels to detect if any windows or glass items are shattered. Once they detect these uncanny happenings, they&#8217;ll sound the alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Panic button<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If all else fails, then a panic button should always be the ace up your sleeve. Having this feature will allow you to alert the cops or the security firm with the press of a single button. Smooth and simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interface User-friendly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A user-friendly is important for users. It should have ans easy features that all ages can understand and navigate through in an effective way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latest Posts<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/3-ways-to-know-your-alarm-system-is-outdated\/\">3 Ways to know your Alarm System is Outdated<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/vivint-vs-adt\/\">Vivint vs ADT<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/top-outdoor-motion-lights\/\">7 Best Outdoor Motion Sensor Lights for Homes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/top-home-security-systems-atlanta-ga\/\">Top Home Security Systems in Atlanta, GA<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/alarm-reviews.net\/what-to-do-when-your-security-company-contract-runs-out\/\">How to Cancel Your Alarm Contract<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Keep an Watchful Eye on the Home with&nbsp;Security Smartphone Apps Looking for the&nbsp;best home security apps? &nbsp;We have tested dozens and ranked them according to: After compiling our reviews, the following are all companies that provides apps you can rely on to monitor your security system in your home or in your business.
