Keep yourself and your stuff safe – wherever you are.
We’ve come a long way in a short time with home security. Gone are the days of those intruder alarms where you had to sprint from the front door to the keypad and punch in your secret code lest you want an alarm waking up the entire neighborhood.
Now, making sure you’re not being burgled at any given time is as easy as downloading an app and checking in on things through your smart camera of choice. Here are six great, smart solutions for keeping you, and your things safe, including one very inventive, very sneaky option:
