Smartphone Monitoring lets Woman see Burglar in her Home
A Washington woman was vacationing in Sun Valley, Idaho when she got an alert on her phone. She checked the phone and was shocked to see a burglar inside her home, attempting to rob her house. This story shows how useful smartphone monitoring is. “I saw an alert on my phone. I thought it was my neighbor because my neighbor was babysitting my dogs,” Melissa, who did not want her last name used, told ABC affiliate KOMO. “It’s 5:30 in the morning. So I pull up the app and I see this guy out here and it’s definitely not my neighbor.”

How Smartphone Monitoring keeps you safe

smartphone monitoring She was able to watch the footage from inside her home thanks to smartphone monitoring and a Dropcam camera that she had installed. The camera was connected to her home’s wireless Internet connection. A smartphone monitoring application on her phone alerted her every time motion was detected in her home. This smartphone monitoring system allowed her to watch live as the criminal walked through her home gathering valuables. Melissa immediately called her neighbour who contacted the police. “I immediately called my neighbour and said, ‘Don’t go into my house!’ She thought I was joking with her,” Melissa told KOMO. “I said, ‘No, I’m serious. There’s somebody in my house right now.” Police arrived just as the burglar was leaving the home. No arrest was made, but all of the stolen items were recovered. “I always recommend to homeowners to do what they can to protect themselves and property from bad guys without putting themselves in harm’s way,” Officer Carla Iafrate, a spokeswoman for Bellevue Police, told ABCNews.com. “It seems more and more people are researching home video systems, which is always helpful for law enforcement.”

Getting Peace of Mind from Smartphone Monitoring

Smartphone monitoring for your security cameras is an excellent way to improve security.
