JOHANNESBURG, 4TH JULY 2017

Panasonic’s Home Network System provides a broad range of security measures for your home, and that’s just one aspect of what it offers.

Home security is a priority for the majority, in order to protect the memories, mementoes and priceless items in the home. At the same time, cost is always a concern, with many people unable to afford private home security services. It is for these reasons that there is a growing trend towards home security systems, which can be installed by the user and are much easier on the pocket.

Panasonic’s Home Network System, for example, allows you to create a powerful wireless network of cameras, sensors and controllers, both in and outside the home. These can be controlled with a smartphone, via a single app, and offer many additional benefits over standard security systems. For example, the system doubles as a complete and comprehensive baby monitoring device, enabling parents to check in on the child using live video footage, streamed directly to their mobile device.

It is able to detect motion, sound and temperature and can immediately notify you of any unusual conditions. In addition, the camera offers a built-in mic and speaker, enabling parents to talk to the baby, or play up to five different lullabies to help it fall asleep.In a similar fashion, external cameras will allow users to monitor their pets at any time and from anywhere – perfect for those occasions where you have to go away for a day or two. The same outdoor cameras are also perfect for assisting you to check who it is that is knocking on your front door.

These cameras not only deliver real-time streaming, but also offer a quad view, enabling the user to view up to four cameras simultaneously, as well as providing motion detection for specific areas of the garden where recording and notification are considered critical. Moreover, because the solution is run by an app on your smart phone, you can control lighting and appliances remotely too, turning devices in a room on and off at anytime and anywhere. This means you can make it appear as though someone is in the house, even when you are away, to frighten off potential burglars.

The beauty of Panasonic’s Home Network System is that you can decide what solutions you want and add these to the network as and when they are required. It includes external and internal cameras, smart plugs for controlling your lights and door, window and motion sensors that will alert you if anyone suspicious enters your property. Not only is this an extremely cost-effective solution, it is also simple and easy to install. Panasonic’s Home Networking System can be set-up in just three easy steps, without any complicated installation. Simply plug in the hub, download the Home Networking System app – which is available on both iOS and Android - and ensure your mobile device is connected to your WiFi network.

The system is seamlessly integrated with WiFi and has a range of over 300 metres. If you are seeking the peace of mind to be found in an inexpensive, yet effective security system, you need look no further than the Panasonic Home Networking System. With its ability to secure your property, enable you to see visitors at your front door and keep an eye on your baby in the other room, it’s a security guard, butler and babysitter, all rolled into one.

With the holidays fast approaching, now is the time to think and prepare for what security alternatives there are aside from the normal alarm systems and burglar bars.

Afraid of what might be lurking in or outside your home, then security IP Cameras are powerful deterrents to check unlawful activities and are widely used for indoor and outdoor surveillance. IP Security Cameras can provide vital clues to the police to identify and trace people involved in unlawful activities as well as you being able to track movements inside and outside your home/office.

Security cameras have come a long way in the last few years namely the affordability and they are now much more user friendly. Most of the cameras such as Foscam IP Cameras are plug and play which means you plug it in and scan the barcode with your smartphone to start your camera setup.

IP camera surveillance systems definitely are the way to go as the picture quality is excellent and you are able to view live footage from the palm of your hand via your mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

Foscam IP Cameras have things such as alerts that can be setup on movement, once motion is detected you will receive an alert and snapshot of who or what it is to your smartphone giving you control of what is happening at your premises. This kind of security surveillance lets you have full control of your valuable and beloved ones when you are away from home, keeping you connected at all times.

Remote viewing - IP cameras are very different to the way the old cctv systems worked. They have created apps and interfaces that can help to view images easily on your personal computer, tablet or smartphone.

Infrared Vision - It is useless to have a surveillance system that does not show clear pictures in total darkness. Thus it is important that one keeps this in mind while choosing your security surveillance system with the best Infra -Red night vision.

NVR - If you are wanting 24-7 surveillance then a Network Video Recorder is the solution. It is not possible to view your home at all times but with a NVR you can have it set up to record all the time or only when motion is detected. You can then view what you have missed out on during that day or the week via your browser. If you are interested in adding a little security to your home especially during the holidays, then contact Foscam for any advise and quotations. Alternatively visit our website at www.foscam.co.za
