The mechanical security of your house or apartment is an optimal basis for individual burglary protection. This means securing windows and doors with tested and certified products.
In addition, the NRW police recommend so-called SmartHome systems. These can increase your security and assist the police in apprehending perpetrators.
SmartHome - a versatile system
SmartHome systems can simplify your everyday life in many ways.
In addition to increasing comfort in your house or apartment or potentially saving energy, many SmartHome systems also offer alarm functions. Perpetrators can, for example, be prompted to break off the crime by suddenly switching on the lights or alarm sirens.
The early notification of a burglar alarm on a smartphone enables you to notify the police quickly. A verification of the burglar alarm is provided. Video surveillance that transmits images to the smartphone as a push message is ideal for this. This gives you a direct insight into your apartment or house and you can immediately verify the authenticity of the alarm and inform the police immediately. False alarms can also be reduced to a minimum in this way.
Not recognized by insurance companies
However, SmartHome technology cannot yet replace the professional alarm systems often required by insurance companies for particularly high property and asset values.
