The beginning of each year gives security professionals a look into upcoming trends predicted by industry leaders. There are some things that are here to stay that were introduced in 2018, but we wanted to create a blog on some of the things we see taking off in 2019. After some research and listening to our consumer base, here are some of the things we see being implemented into both residential and commercial security!

Upgraded and Live Streaming Security cameras

Cameras are becoming more advanced in almost every aspect. They are becoming smaller, produce clearer images, have incredible storage space and can connect to the internet. Due to the competitive market place for these cameras, they are even accessible and affordable for anyone who takes their security seriously! Modern security cameras can stream live over an internet connection giving home and business owners access to a real-time look at their building. Depending on the system, some cameras require an app that has additional features.

Voice Communication

Alongside the updated security cameras that have the ability to live stream, some of these systems are equipped with receivers and speakers, giving users the ability to speak with those on camera. There are several uses for this application but one of the most satisfying must be startling intruders who are trying to enter unlawfully! Additionally, since these cameras have a microphone, it can record sound which may provide more evidence in the event of a break in. You’d be surprised by the number of criminals who spout personal information during a break in including their names!

Battery Powered back up

Some systems in the past have solely relied on power from the grid. Now, security systems have battery powered backups to ensure your system won’t go down! The length at which your system can last without power and on batteries depends on how many batteries you have and the charge level.
