While a regular alarm system may sound off when someone enters the home, you may not actually get notified until minutes later, and won’t be able to see what’s going on.

A smart security system allows you to check in on video surveillance from your phone or iPad. You can even go in the app and check out footage from each room if you are expecting guests, but just want to keep an eye on your belongings.

The system is reliable in that it will instantly notify you if any unexpected activity occurs, and you can monitor your home in real-time whether you get an alert or you just want to do a random check-in.
