How to protect your family and home the ‘smart’ way

Ensuring the safety and well-being of your family and home is important. A home that’s not properly secure will be more vulnerable to intruders who could invade your privacy, take property, or harm your family. These threats are always very real and can happen anytime, especially in moments you least expect. 

What are the appropriate security measures for the home in these times? Would traditional ways of protection like guard dogs, barbed wire, and the like still be enough? 

In the face of modern threats, having a smarter and more reliable layer of protection not only for your home but also for your family would greatly enhance your peace of mind.

Smart security tools for the smart home

A smart home security setup—an innovation designed to monitor your home and property digitally—provides you not only convenience but also the peace of mind knowing that your homes are under watch anytime of the day.

We’re not talking about simple intruder alarms and basic CCTV networks. A new generation of home security devices—featuring crisper footage, longer battery life, and smarter, more interactive features all powered by a strong internet connection—instill a feeling of safety among homeowners.

Some of the best devices you can get for your money come from international smart home device manufacturer eufy, a sub-brand of top electronics brand Anker. And now, they are made available through a PLDT Home subscription.

Smart cameras that keep a close eye

The home is most vulnerable to intruders at night or when people are away. This is why indoor and outdoor smart cameras are considered home security essentials. They allow you to monitor your house and can even let you keep in touch with family and keep watch of their property remotely. 

The eufy Indoor Camera 2K comes with crisp and clear 2K resolution video, ensuring all details captured are visible. It comes with a built-in AI that distinguishes between humans and pets, and determines when to start recording footage. Its motion detector also follows moving objects up to 360° horizontally or 96° vertically.

The eufy Indoor Camera 2K also has a built-in two-way audio system, allowing remote communication between you and anyone within close proximity to the camera, all through the eufy Security App. It’s also fully compatible with smartphone apps Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. 

For outdoor security, there’s the eufy Outdoor Camera 2 Pro and eufy Outdoor Camera 2C. Both models boast high-resolution cameras that let homeowners catch details in the footage more vividly. Both also have advanced night vision technology, with the 2 Pro packing an f/2.0 aperture lens that lets in a lot of light even when it’s dark. 

Both models come with human detection AI technology that distinguishes between humans and animals, only notifying when it’s a person approaching. It’s also equipped with a siren to ward off intruders breaking into your home and alert people close by.

The 2C can run for 6 months and the 2 Pro for 12 months on a single charge. They are also completely weatherproof, guaranteed to work rain or shine.

Smart door tech that safeguards best 

Another great investment that could beef up and complete your home security setup is a smart door lock.  

eufy’s Smart Door Locks lock automatically when the door closes. They are also fully electronic, can be completely controlled from anywhere, and can be unlocked in four ways: via physical key, the keypad, a fingerprint, or Bluetooth. Like eufy’s outdoor smart cameras, the smart locks are also weatherproof and have a long battery life.

Complementing the smart door locks is eufy’s Video Doorbell. The futuristic Video Doorbell 2K adds to the protection granted by the other outdoor devices with a 2K-resolution camera that lets you clearly see who’s at the door. It also has a motion sensor that automatically notifies when someone approaches. It can run on its battery for 6 months on a single charge.
