We all know that the security of our home is important, but how secure are our homes exactly? I got a reality check today, when I helped a neighbor who wanted to install a garage door opener keypad outside her home. I always knew that this would be almost as bad of an idea as putting a key to your door under the welcome mat…but I perhaps did not really understand how similar it was.
It is obvious which buttons are used for your code, since over time the numbers will wear off from the oils on your skin. But what I didnt realize, was written right in the instructions for the keypad unit. Pressing and holding the * and # key on the unit will reset the password to 1234 – incase you forget your passcode. Does that make any sense at all? If anyone will know that, it would be a thief.
Makes it that much more important to have quality home security cameras in place to help provide evidence and even email alerts when something is happening at your home while you are away. A camera placed in the garage can let you see if someone is entering through the

garage, and when paired with an Alnet PC-Based DVR Cardor one of our new DVR-2644S H.264 Standalone DVR Recorders, you can even trigger email alerts to send an email to your cell phone when motion is detected while you are away. Cameras placed in a garage are a great choice for motion email alerts, because there is not any ambient movement in a garage normally, and the door blocks most light, so clouds, rain and other weather conditions will not trigger accidental or repetitive email alerts like an outdoor style camera would.
With these email alerts set up, you could receive an email on your phone with a snapshot attached from the camera. These email alerts can be useful to let you know if someone is trying to access your home through your garage.
