Protect your home with a security camera and sensor pack for $99

Regardless of where you live, it pays to have a good security system. Unfortunately, a full system can sometimes upwards of $400 — and that's on the low end. As much as you want to protect your home, that might be too much than you can feasibly swing right now. Which is why this sale might be for you. Currently, the Zmodo Pivot Cloud pack is on sale through Amazon for $99.99, down from its listed price of $299.99. The first piece included is the wireless, rotating security camera that can cover a full 360 degrees and sports a 120-degree camera. Because of that flexibility, you don't have to load up on multiple cameras for one space. The second part of this pack are the four door/window sensors to fill out the system. These can be set up as desired to cover any spaces that might be at risk of potential break-ins. You don't have to worry about loading up on storage devices either. The Zmodo system uses cloud storage for anything of note that happens from its 24-hour recording. All you need to access that information is the Zmodo app on your smart device. And like so many other home systems, pair it up with Amazon Alexa devices for voice controls. On the whole, that's a great deal to protect your home. So if you want to sleep a little easier, go to Amazon and order this pack while you can.

Study: Majority of U.S. Broadband Households Concerned About Security of IoT Devices

As Internet-connected devices become more ubiquitous, security and privacy concerns of end users are also on the rise. Simply installing security systems in smart homes is no longer enough. Security integrators must also consider bolstering cybersecurity measures when installing their systems. A recently released whitepaper from IoT research firm Parks Associates, titled “Residential Security and Encryption: Setting the Standard, Protecting Consumers,” reveals that 64% of U.S. broadband households are concerned about security and privacy when using their connected devices. Parks Associates also found that the majority of homeowners assume security integrators are addressing their cybersecurity concerns. In fact, a Parks Associates survey of U.S. security owners found 63% of professionally monitored subscribers believe the wireless signals from their system are encrypted, even though encryption is currently not the industry-wide standard. While the whitepaper outlines a few ...

The Benefits of a DIY Home Security System

This week’s mailbag addresses the pros and cons of a DIY home security system, how to browse the internet without being tracked, the best way to secure firearms in your home — and more. Let’s get started. I am investigating home security systems since I am not at home constantly. What are some things I should look for in a good home security system? Do you have any recommendations? — Ken R. First, decide whether you want to install a “do-it-yourself” home security system or have a professional company come to your home and install it for you. Before making this decision, check with your local police department and ask if they respond to residential alarms. In most larger cities, they won’t — but the company providing your home security usually has private guards who will respond. If you live in a small town like I do where the police department does respond to intrusion alarms, you might want to go with an alarm company. If you live in a ...

Ring Alarm review: A great DIY home security system with the potential to become even better

Ring builds some of our favorite video doorbells and security camera/outdoor lighting mashups. Now the company—recently acquired by Amazon—is moving inside the home with a strong and inexpensive DIY home security system: Ring Alarm. It’s a fantastic product today, and Ring says it will only get better with time. Ring Alarm is positioned as a mainstream home security system, and while you won’t find a great deal of innovation here (there’s nothing like the Nest Detect sensor that comes with the much-more-expensive Nest Secure system , for example), it’s already equipped with everything it needs to grow into a comprehensive smart home system. Ring Alarm doesn’t support smart lighting controls, door locks, thermostats, garage-door openers, or other common smart home products today, and there’s a very short list of supported third-party products. But it lacks nothing needed to support those and similar devices down the road. And in an intervi...
