An IP camera can often be used for different purposes. Clearly, its most obvious use is to protect your home. The IP camera is also ideal for keeping an eye on your home with your smartphone, for example when the kids are home alone.
A burglar only needs a few seconds to decide whether a house is going to be easy to enter. Ideally you would prefer the burglar to give your home a wide berth. Dogs, surveillance cameras, motion detectors, sirens, flashing lights and shutters deter potential burglars. Prevention is better than cure, so make sure you make full use of the latest security technology. A good outdoor IP camera with other alarm system accessories will soon persuade any burglar to pick another target. If a burglar does manage to break in, then the indoor IP camera will detect and record their activity. Main features to look out for
If a burglar does manage to break into your home, you want them outside again as soon as possible. For this reason, choose an IP surveillance camera with a built-in motion detector or an IP camera set that works in conjunction with motion detectors. An indoor siren is also an effective way of chasing a burglar out of your house. An outdoor siren not only helps ward off any burglars, it can also draw the attention of neighbours or passers-by, who can then take action.

Main features to look out for
If you wish to protect an entire house and need a good IP camera as part of your security system, then check whether you can add other accessories to your smart home system. For example, you might want to consider door/window sensors or motion detectors. The wireless IP camera would then become part of a total alarm system. You can also integrate a security camera into a Smart Home system using services such as IFTTT, Apple HomeKit or Google Home. Main features to look out for • Smartphone app control • Live streaming
An IP camera lets you keep an eye on your house. For example, an outdoor IP camera allows you to keep an eye on the driveway or on the porch and front door. If someone breaks in at a place not monitored by and outdoor camera (e.g. at the back of the house or through a small window), then an indoor IP camera will fill the gap to maximise the security of your home.
In order to secure your home effectively with an indoor IP camera, simply install a camera in a place you want to monitor. For example, the hall or common areas such as the living room or kitchen are all ideal places. WiFi indoor IP cameras ensure that your entire home is protected, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
