How We’re Keeping Our Home Safe

Today’s post is sponsored by Pansonic. As always, all stated opinions are my honest thoughts. Keep reading to learn which easy-to-install outdoor home monitoring system we use to secure our home!


When we were searching for our first home, our number one priority was finding a safe neighborhood where we could raise our daughter without fear. When we toured our current home and saw SO many children playing outside without a care in the world, I knew we’d found the right place. Our street instantly felt like home, and we’ve grown to love our quiet little neighborhood even more over the past year.

While I feel safe in our home, we do live in a busy part of town where theft is extremely common. I get email alerts on a daily basis reporting stolen packages, suspicious people scoping out homes, and break-ins of houses and cars. That’s why my husband and I decided we needed to make home security a priority this winter. Keep reading to learn how we’re securing our home and the outdoor home monitoring system (available on Amazon) we use that’s easy-to-use and easy-to-install!

How To Secure Your Home with An Outdoor Home Monitoring System


There are quite a few outdoor home monitoring systems on the market, but trust me, some of them are just not as great as they claim to be. We used an outdoor home monitoring system on our front door for about a year, and while some of the features were cool, it honestly just wasn’t what we hoped for. The device itself literally took three tech-savvy people HOURS to install, and then we realized that we’d have to pay a hefty monthly price to even access the security videos.

After a year of frustration, we finally decided it was time to make a change. We wanted an outdoor system that would allow us to monitor our home from multiple angles that was quick and easy-to-install and wouldn’t require a monthly fee for video access. Thankfully we found the HomeHawk Outdoor Home Monitoring System from Panasonic, and our experience could not have been better!

HomeHawk Outdoor Home Monitoring System


So let’s chat about why we chose the Panasonic HomeHawk Outdoor Home Monitoring System (click HERE to check it out on Amazon). My husband is extremely tech-savvy and handy, but he’s a busy guy, so our #1 priority was finding a camera with easy installation. The HomeHawk system is 100% wire-free, so the installation was a breeze. I literally couldn’t believe how quickly he installed both of our cameras and set up the coordinating mobile app!

In addition to fast and simple installation, the HomeHawk offered additional features that crossed off every item of our wishlist: an HD video door camera, a long-lasting rechargeable battery, a wire-free camera, 172-degree angle, two-way talk feature, 720 HD live recording, and a waterproof body. Plus, the system is compatible with your Amazon Echo Show and Google Assistant SD and features a coordinating mobile app that allows you to receive security alerts and access to your security videos on your phone or mobile device. Click HERE to buy the Panasonic HomeHawk Outdoor Home Monitoring System on Amazon.



My husband connected our security system to the app in literally a few minutes, and we immediately had access to all of the alerts and videos from our security system. You can easily insert an SD card into your HomeHawk system to locally store all of your cameras’ videos, and the videos will sync to your mobile app along with live feeds of both of your cameras. 
 
I can easily see when packages are delivered, preview who’s at the door when I’m home alone with my daughter, and peruse security tapes if there’s ever suspicious activity in our neighborhood. Our local police have actually encouraged our neighborhood to check outdoor home monitoring system videos when there are reported package thefts or break-ins in the area. Several perpetrators have been caught by the police due to these types of videos, and it makes me feel so much safer knowing that I’ll be alerted if there’s any activity at our doorstep- even if it’s just an expected package delivery. The peace of mind is worth every penny!
 

Our house and our doorstep don’t face the main road, so we chose to install both of our cameras on our front doorstep to have the ability to monitor our front door as well as the area directly outside of our home. The camera angle of the secondary camera can be changed extremely easily, so you can get the perfect view every time. 


If you’ve been putting off securing your home, now is the time to make a change. I sleep so peacefully now knowing that we have an extra layer of security on our home and video evidence if anything out-of-the-ordinary should occur! If you’re in the market for an outdoor home monitoring system, I highly recommended the Panasonic HomeHawk system. It’s so user-friendly and has all of the options you need to feel safe in your home! Check it out for yourself on Amazon HERE.
