When selecting a smart security system, consider your specific requirements and the size of your property. Some systems offer DIY installation while others require professional setup. Also think about what features are must-haves for you, such as motion detection, facial recognition, or integration with existing home automation devices. Research local laws regarding video surveillance, especially if you plan to use cameras to monitor outdoor areas.
Consider the number of sensors and detectors needed to cover your property effectively. Some systems allow customization of sensor placement which may be beneficial in complex spaces. Evaluate any smart home integrations offered by the system, such as voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Check the system's monitoring options and whether it includes professional monitoring for incidents.
Some systems also offer additional features like two-way audio, smoke detection, or environmental alerts. Think about the level of cloud storage needed to hold video footage and what happens if your internet connection is lost.
