CHEAP HOME SECURITY THAT WORKS! DIY TECHNOLOGY FOR A SAFER LIFE!
What happens here
Install a wireless security camera system, such as Arlo, which requires only an internet connection and no monthly contract. The camera has a rechargeable battery and attaches magnetically to a single nail or screw for easy placement. Download the simple Arlo app on your smartphone to monitor live feeds from any camera in the system. Configure the camera to send instant alerts (email, text, phone notification) upon detecting motion or sound within custom-defined areas. The system stores recorded footage in a database, allowing you to identify intruders.
Goal: Monitor property activity remotely and receive instant alerts for security breaches.
