Step 6: buy a security camera
The location of the security camera is the first important criterion to consider. Indoor or outdoor cameras, the characteristics, and expectations will be different.
Besides, you need to install security cameras at strategic points. Think in terms of “traffic zones”, especially if you have a pet to avoid the camera to detect it as an intruder.
Thanks to the visible presence of outdoor security cameras, motion sensors that turn on lights, or sirens that let the rest of the neighbourhood know about your unwanted visitor, any burglar will think twice about trying to break into your home in the future. They are more robust when it comes to withstanding the elements.
Main features to look out for:
Night vision
Motion detection
Push notifications through app
Integrated siren
You can opt for one of our easy to install indoor surveillance cameras. If a burglar manages to break into your house, you can capture his actions live using the app and an indoor security camera. You can save the HD images immediately and use them as evidence. Main features to look out for:
Built-in siren or compatibility with an alarm system
Wired or wireless camera?
The question will arise when choosing between a wired model with an Ethernet port or a Wi-Fi one. Some models offer both solutions, which is a definite plus.
There will also be a question of power supply. While most models opt for an AC adapter, it is possible to find cameras with a rechargeable battery.
With or without a siren?
If there is an intrusion into your property, you probably want the burglar outside again as soon as possible. For that, choose a surveillance camera with a built-in siren to scare him off.
An indoor siren is also an effective way of chasing a burglar out of your house. Somfy provides solutions for indoor sirens which are automatically triggered in case of intrusion attempt.
An outdoor camera' siren not only helps ward off any burglars, but it can also draw the attention of neighbours or passers-by, who can then take action. Decide when you want to activate your outdoor camera'siren manually from your smartphone.
Somfy’s security cameras are easy to integrate into an alarm system or a smart home ecosystem. By installing several types of security systems, such as door/window sensors, motion sensors and separate sirens, you can make your home even more secure and neutralise any attempted break-in. Link the security cameras to your TaHoma® switch home automation box to control all your smart devices from one place.
For greater privacy.
The WiFi connection lets you use your smartphone to check out what’s going on in and around your home wherever you may be and at any time. Our WiFi cameras give you pin-sharp live camera images with a 24 / 7 live stream.
The camera's motion detector and push notifications give you real-time information about any suspicious activity. You can access free video clips upon detection (30 sec recording) downloadable for 7days.
You also have the possibility to download the free video clips upon detection and to access images from the last 7 or 30 days (optional, possibility to unsubscribe whenever you want).
Cameras for indoor are really easy to install as they are Plug & Play. Inside, there is no need to install a security camera at every door or window. Three cameras are usually enough if you place them in points of passage.
Regarding our outdoor cameras, step-by-step instructions easily illustrate that anyone can install a security system themselves.
Two cameras are usually sufficient for outdoor use. For example, at the gate and in your garden or at the garage. When you install your IP camera, don't forget to factor in blind spots, possible obstructions, glare from the sun, etc.
There are 3 ways to install your outdoor security cameras:
Connecting to an electrical power cable
Connecting to an existing light fixture
Connecting to an electrical power socket
Somfy’s cameras are compatible with Smart Home packages so that they can communicate with other connected Smart Home devices. Do not hesitate to contact our assistance team for advice. These professionals will also guide you on the best solution to choose according to your needs.
