How to Boost Your Backyard Security With Smart Technology

Backyard security relies on the newest technology to protect your home. High fences aren’t enough to keep out perpetrators. You need modern alarm systems and motion-detecting lights to boost your security measures. 

In this post, WiHome Integration shares the best ways to use smart technology to keep your backyard safe from intruders.

Motion-Detecting Lights

Smart lighting with motion sensors is useful in detecting movement in your yard. Motion-detecting floodlights pointed at your backyard will deter burglars from entering. These are affordable and easy to install on your property. 

Motion-Sensor Alarms

Motion-sensor alarms automatically reach the local police station and send authorities to your location in case of a break-in. There are three types of sensors that you can install:

  1. Glass-break sensors detect if a window or door pane has been shattered. 
  2. Motion sensors detect intruder motion. 
  3. Window and door contacts will sound off if your door or window was opened without the alarm being switched off.

Security Cameras

Security systems let you record the identities of burglars to get better help from the police. Put them in an area with a wide field of view, and install them at a high vantage point in your backyard, such as on a steel post or hidden under the edges of your roof. 

Warning Signs

Security features in your backyard won’t deter intruders without warning signs. Put up signs that tell anyone that your backyard has motion-sensing floodlights, alarms and security cameras. Due to the high risk stated by the warning, most unscrupulous parties would likely avoid your property.
