We're living in a world where people live in 'tiny' homes instead of castles. Global warming is making the weather more unpredictable than a Mexican jumping bean. Everyone is so stressed they're having accidents because they have nearly turned into full-blown zombies.
It's obvious we need more home protection than ever before, which is great because of the technology available today. No matter where you live I'm sure you want to stay safe, so we're going to focus in on a few gadgets everyone should invest in going forwards.
An Amazing Home Security System
If you live in an expensive home it's likely been scoped out, but those living in less expensive areas are under threat too. It seems burglars don't discriminate, or maybe they all have their preferred targets. In either case, you'll want a top notch ADT Pulse security system. You will be able to control everything from an app, so it's always easy to know exactly what is going on in and around your home.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Smoke alarms have been around for a very long time, but they're beginning to get smart. There is much less chance of being caught in the middle of a raging fire. Some newer models also have extra features we've not seen before, like the ability to detect carbon monoxide in the air. This gas kills lots of people every year because you can't smell or see it, but now you'll be able to know when it's there.
Protection From Burst Pipes
A water leak detection system is definitely a good idea if you have an old home, because it's possible your pipes are ready to burst. It's only now we have the technology available to detect when one has burst so the water can be automatically turned off. If you've ever had to deal with a burst pipe in the past you'll know how much damage it can cause, so something like the Water Hero system is worth the money.
A Bathroom Water Alarm
This one is similar to the last gadget we talked about, except bathroom water alarms Save you from human error. Have you ever left the bath running and forgot all about it because something distracted you? It's still possible your ceiling could collapse if left long enough, but it won't when you have a water alarm. As soon as the water reaches a certain level the alarm will remind you there is something seriously wrong.
Bluetooth Keyless Entry Locks
The reason why smart locks are so crucial doesn't just have to do with security, although it's certainly a massive feature. One big bonus is the protection they'll offer when you've lost your keys. You won't have to sit outside for hours when you have your smartphone on hand. There is also nothing to worry about if you lose your smartphone, because someone you live with can open your door remotely.
So Many Things Can Go Wrong
You have to protect your home from so many things these days, but it's going to be worth it. You probably know someone who has had their life ripped apart due to one of the problems we've touched on today. As an added bonus, buying new gadgets is always so much fun.
