Why Home Security Cameras Are an Easy Value-Add for Your Home

There are all sorts of improvements and updates you can do both indoors and outdoors that add value to your home. A new furnace, remodeled bathrooms, renovated kitchen, or refreshed landscaping can all increase your home's worth.

Some updates offer long-term value, like new kitchens and bathrooms wherein you recoup your spend when you sell your home. But some improvements to your home can bring immediate value. A needed new furnace, for example, can heat your home more efficiently and potentially reduce your monthly energy spend.

Smart home technology updates are another way you can add value to your home and reap immediate benefits.

The value of smart home technology

Smart home tech updates to your living space are easy to incorporate into any home-improvement project—they can be relatively inexpensive and they're simple to install. And the best part is that you don't have to wait years to get value from smart tech home-improvement investments.

With the safety and security benefits smart home technology improvements provide, you're not only getting the immediate protection of the people in your home, but you're also protecting your home improvement investment with increased security.

The immediate benefit of security cameras for the value of your home

Installing indoor and outdoor home security cameras is one of the simplest ways to add immediate value to your home.

Combined with the Vivint app, they markedly increase your home security and safety by keeping you connected to your home from anywhere&mdashyou always know what's going on no matter where you are. This also gives you peace of mind.

With professional consultation and installation, adding cameras to your home-improvement endeavors is simple.

Here’s the value you can get from smart home security cameras that keep you connected:

Outdoor cameras

Strategically placed outdoor cameras can greatly improve your home security. With outdoor cameras, you can keep an eye on those hard-to-see places around your home from your smart home hub or phone. The HD video gives you a crisp, clear view and high video quality. The infrared LEDs enable true night vision features so you can always see what's going on, day or night.

You'll receive notifications triggered by motion detection with a live feed—straight to your phone or panel. And you can easily access clips of video feed history to track activity and even zoom in on camera footage to get a closer look.

Doorbell camera (video doorbell)

With a live video doorbell you can hear doorbell chimes through both your mobile app and panel, which means you can answer your door from anywhere.

Thanks to smart visitor/person detection you're notified only when someone, not something, is at your door. With infrared LED for true night vision and a 180-degree viewing angle HD lens, you get a detailed view of your entire doorstep. And because a microphone and built-in speaker enable two-way audio & video conversations, you can see and speak with whoever is at your door from any location using your mobile devices.
