Regardless of where I am, I can easily log on to my smart phone and see live the status of my home or office through a digital video recorder camera system. I can also be notified via text message or email by motion sensors which tell me of any unusual activity. Other devices like smart plugs can allow users to turn on lights, music or the television when you are on the other side of the world. Smart deadlocks will notify you if any of your doors have been left unlocked, and garage door controllers can notify you of intruders entering your garage.

The options are endless when it comes to keeping tabs on what’s happening, and you can now have peace of mind all at the touch of a button. The best part is a licensed electrician can install this technology, so you don’t need to shell out tens of thousands on specialised installers. It’s now cheaper and easier to use than ever before.
