This Product Solves the TWO Biggest Security Vulnerabilities for South African Homes
An all-in-one solution for South Africans looking to bolster their security.
Home security systems are necessary evils in South Africa and across the world, and can be quite a daunting thing to install in your home. Thankfully, securing your home with the latest security technology doesn’t have to be a massive undertaking, allowing you to tighten up the safety of your home without a headache.
According to security experts, two of the best deterrents for crime are light and foresight. So, why not include both in one product?
The best element of having a view on the outside of your apartment or home is knowing who is near your home before they’re even in your home. Additionally, with the current explosion of at-home deliveries, whether it be an Uber Eats or Takealot courier, having a communication channel and an eye on the street is invaluable.
An eye in the sky
Ring has been delivering some fantastic home cameras over the last few years, and one of their most popular is the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus (priced at R3,999).
What makes this weather-resistant camera different is that it bundles (as the name suggests) a lighting solution and a camera into one package. Furthermore, it’s wireless, so installation is extremely easy and intuitive.
The device’s wide-angle 1080p camera provides quite the viewpoint for your garden, front door, or driveway, and the motion-detecting spotlights are great for those stretches of loadshedding, along with catching any movement on camera with clear lighting. You can also adjust the brightness, making it ideal for a security option or just some extra ambient light wherever you need.
And if you were wondering how to charge it and where the power comes from, the Spotlight Cam features a Quick Release Battery Pack that you can pop in and out without messing with your setup.
On top of that, what’s great about Ring products is the versatility of the app, which allows you to customise the product’s features to your needs, such as using it as a siren, two-way talk point, or allocating the camera to only track movement in certain zones.
Remember, with Ring products, you can connect all your Ring devices together and access and control them from the app, giving you a singular dashboard to manage your entire home security.
