hi-tech security systems, CCTV, Cameras, Video Door phones, intrusion alarms, motion sensors, wi-fi securityCrime rates across cities and towns alike have heightened your need to invest in hi-tech security system gadgets apart from the security guard you hired to safeguard your home. The installation of such safeguards cannot guarantee your safety, but they provide an extra line of defence against crime and criminals. To protect your life, home and belongings, you can choose from a range of options available today.


Cameras and recorders

Cameras, digital video recorders, access-control and door locking systems, fire sensors and video-door phones are available with all leading companies that offer security systems. You can make the right choice about the surveillance equipment you want by accurately assessing the threat, environment and your budget.

Companies offer a wide range of products depending on the requirements of housing societies. The most commonly used security device is Closed Circuit Television or CCTV, which involves installing cameras in key parts of a building. These can be used to keep a watch on different parts of the dwelling as well as entry and exit points. A security camera detects an intruder when the viewer senses movement, by verifying if an alarm signal is real and by monitoring constant surveillance areas. A camera costs about Rs 2,500 and can go up to Rs 4,500, depending on its quality.

Video Door Phone

This is another gadget that is fast becoming popular in urban homes. It is a video-door phone that consists of a camera with an in-built doorbell outside the door of the apartment and a monitor with an intercom placed inside the house. The door can be answered from anywhere in the house and opened after the identity of the visitor has been established. The stand-alone models cost somewhere around Rs. 10,000 and can move up to Rs 20,000 depending on the brand.

Intrusion Alarm

This is perhaps the best weapon to stop people from entering your house. The panel is operated by a remote keypad installed at a convenient location in the house. Various devices like door sensors, motion detectors, gas leak detectors, smoke detectors and panic buttons are connected to the panel. In case of breach, an alarm is sounded and the system automatically dials five predetermined telephone/mobile numbers and conveys an emergency message. This alarm system is very useful for senior citizens and the disabled.

Motion Sensors

Motion sensors can be installed in the porch, corridor or garden. These automatically turn on the strategically positioned floodlights that bathe the area around the house with light. The sensors can also be connected to a buzzer in the house to alert the people inside. An integrated system with a control panel and various sensors will cost around Rs 10,000.

Smart Home or Digital Home

A Digital Home will have a broadband connection, full flexibility of using Internet through Wi-fi enabled network, the facility of operating electrical appliances by remote, digital answering machine with personal voice message boxes and so on. The cost of a Digital Home, in a campus society running into a minimum area of about 1000 units, could be anywhere between Rs 66,000 and Rs. 2 lakhs or more (depending on size of the home). Aftek Infosys has pioneered the concept of Digital Homes in India , with a presence in major Indian cities like Bangalore and Pune.
