wireless security home system
You cannot use cameras alone for home security. That needs a different approach of boots on the ground, regular patrols and guard dogs, proper perimeter fencing, security floodlights, sirens, physical access barriers,
electronic barrier breach
detection with security cameras being one of the devices used. Considering just the camera part, a security audit is needed to identify weak points, and how to address them one by one with the optimal number and placement of cameras. Apart from physical security, one issue with wireless cameras, and in particular IP cameras is whether they can be accessed from an external network, how frequently vulnerabilities are patched so the window of available exploits remaining viable is short, and how to secure the vast amount of data generated, all to ensure that someone isn’t using it to monitor a range of targets over time to learn patterns/routines. One often sees comments about unexplained “voices” over the camera two way speaker speaking to the kid when the parents are away, and the suspicion that if that’s the case, someone is also watching. This focus on security is missing from this write up.
The motion sensor is the most important to me. Still, what makes me feel not secure is: knowing someone can easily cut my visable cable line on the outside wall they installed, custoner service is slow and horrible, and knowing that the tablet screen has connection issues from time to time that requires me to be home to reset it which defies the purpose of having the security system. The technician who installed the security system I had a bad feeling about from the start, I didn't trust him. Just before he left, he asked if he could use the restroom upstairs which is where the rooms are. Minutes after he left my home I noticed he had stolen an unopened $80 package of medical marijuana from my desk. Couple updates on this review. With Xfinity Home the contract is now tied to any Xfinity line of service. This means if you decide to cancel and your under contract you can do so at no cost as long as you keep home phone, internet or cable tv. As far as pricing goes its $39. 95 for a 300 and $49. 95 for 350.
