It doesn’t matter if this is your first time installing your home security system or you’ve done it countless times, going through the instruction manual is a ‘no brainer’. They are included for a reason and they should be followed if you want everything to run smoothly. The wireless home security systems of 20 years ago were notoriously unreliable. They produced so many false alarms that many homeowners stopped using them. That’s all changed. Today you can buy DIY home security systems that have professional grade wireless security equipment that’s extremely reliable, easy to install and affordable.

While you are performing your spring cleaning be sure to take a look at your home like a burglar might do, and try to make your home more resistant to an intruder. Below is a security check list which may assist you as you take on this important task. It is OK to take an “Us against Them” attitude when it comes to home security and your personal safety because home security really does matter. Examine your front and back door locks and make sure they are properly working. The doors are a burglar’s most common means of entry. Know that a steel or solid core door, not a hollow core door, is more resistant to forced entry. Replace a push button knob lock with a deadbolt lock to add more resistance. Many homes have double hung windows which can be “pinned” by installing a pin in the lower window sash. Keep your garage door closed when the garage is unattended. An open garage door is an open invitation for any thief. Illuminate the exterior entrances to your home.

The ALS assembly 714 is configured to measure amount of light entering the lens assembly 702 from an ambient environment surrounding the lens assembly 704. Part of the ALS assembly 714 is exposed to incoming light, and therefore, visible from a front of the doorbell camera 106 in the lens assembly 704. The ALS assembly 714 is configured to compare the measured amount of light to a threshold illumination level, and the doorbell camera uses corresponding comparison results to determine its operation mode between a daytime mode and a night mode. Specifically, in some situations, the ALS assembly 714 determines that the mount of light entering the lens assembly 702 exceeds the threshold illumination level, and the doorbell camera 106 enables the daytime mode in which the IR illuminators are turned off. Alternatively, in some situations, the ALS assembly 714 determines that the amount of light entering the lens assembly 702 is not greater than the threshold illumination level, and the doorbell camera 106 enables a night mode in which the IR illuminators are optionally turned on to illuminate the field of view of the doorbell camera 106. In some implementations, two distinct threshold illumination levels are applied to enable a first type of switching from the daytime mode to the night mode and a second type of switching from the night node to the daytime mode. Thus, use of the ALS assembly 714 can be used to cause switching between the daytime and night modes and enable/disable the IR illuminators in an efficient manner. The doorbell camera 106 may further include a microphone and a speaker. In some implementations, the front cover plate 708 includes a microphone aperture 716 to allow sound signals to reach the microphone concealed within the doorbell camera 106. In some implementations, the device housing 702 includes a plurality of speaker openings 718 at its bottom rim surface. When the doorbell camera 106 is mounted onto a wall or doorframe surface, the speaker holes 718 are not visible from a gaze of a visitor approaching or standing near the surface, while still being able to broadcast audio messages to the visitor.
