Outdoor Security Cameras: Enhancing Your Home Security for Spring and Beyond
Now that the weather is cooperating, and it’s warmed up outside (bye, bye winter!), it’s logical that our children, pets and we ourselves want to spend MORE time outside. Spring is a great time to plant a new garden, install a pool and sit on the deck or porch under the stars.
With more outdoor activities, come more outside dangers. We’re not sure about you, but we’d love to know what Sparky is doing when he’s in the backyard. (Is he digging to China? Is he eating a shrub? The same is true for our children, their babysitters, and (elderly) parents.
How can you keep an eye on what’s going on outside in your backyard, even if you are at work, or in your home office?
Security cameras!
Benefits of Outdoor Security Cameras
Outdoor security cameras can be a powerful tool for enhancing your home security, not just in the spring, but all year round.
The benefits of installing and monitoring outdoor security cameras are vast.
Benefits include the following
- Outdoor security cameras deter burglars
- Being able to monitor your property remotely
- Instrumental in providing evidence in the event of a crime
Besides aiding in increasing your home security, outdoor security cameras can also prevent accidents and potentially save lives by allowing you to monitor kids, pets, elderly parents, and teenagers in real-time, from afar.
Types of Outdoor Security Cameras
When deciding on outdoor security cameras, we recommend you speak with an expert. If you are doing the installation yourself, you’ll want to do the proper research on both wired and wireless systems and the pros and cons of each of these options.
Learn more about wireless outdoor security cameras.
Installation and Maintenance of Outdoor Security Cameras
As outdoor cameras are subject to the elements, it is important you have a solid plan for maintaining outdoor security cameras, such as choosing the right location, ensuring proper wiring and connections, and regularly cleaning and checking the cameras. With the Atlantic hurricane season approaching each year in June, we highly recommend you test and check on your outdoor security cameras in April or May.
Outdoor Security Cameras and Smart Home Integration
One of the best features of a smart home is being able to integrate just about any system, including outdoor security cameras. This allows you to control your cameras remotely, receive alerts and notifications, and even automate your security system. You will be able to see what’s going on outside, from inside your home, your office or from anywhere in the world as long as you have Wifi service.
Outdoor Security Cameras and Privacy Concerns
last but not least, it is important to be aware of potential privacy concerns associated with outdoor security cameras. What is a neighbor complains about the location of the camera, or your wifi security is low and there are concerns someone can break into your system and watch your cameras? Be sure to speak to an expert if those are concerns on top of your list for your family and property.
Strand Security and Outdoor Security Cameras
We sell, install and maintain many different brands of outdoor security cameras and can help you make the right choice for your family and property. If you have commercial needs, we welcome you as well. We’ve done some amazing local Grand Strand Installations for commercial properties: check out this one in North Myrtle Beach!
Common Springtime Home Security Mistakes to Avoid
As spring arrives in South Carolina, so does… pollen.
If you live in the Myrtle Beach area of the Grand Strand, you might have seen this picture shared by Ed Piotrowski.
It’s not an oil slick, it’s a pollon-slick in the ocean! 😂
All this pollen doesn’t clean itself! After the trees have done their thing, it’s time for the humans to de-pollen their homes, porches, cars, windows and driveways!
Can we say it?
Yes, soon it will be time for… Spring Cleaning.
Common Home Security Mistakes Made in Spring!
Now we’re not saying these home security mistakes can’t be made during other months. We’re not saying that at all.
BUT… these mistakes are more likely to be made in spring when you are spending more time outside, more time opening windows and doors, and less time inside.
In no particular order, here are 7 common home security mistakes made in Spring!
- Leaving Windows and Doors Unlocked
Spring weather can be mild and inviting, but leaving your windows and doors unlocked can create an open invitation for burglars to enter your home. In the same spirit, when you - Not Updating Your Security System Frequently
If you have a security system in place, make sure to update it regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly and is tested. Check the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and replace them if necessary. If you changed the structure of your home (as in, you added an addition) you need to take that into consideration. Last but not least, technology ages fast. Make sure you have the best equipment for the job that keeps your family safe. - Ignoring Landscaping in the Spring
Overgrown bushes, shrubs and trees can provide cover for intruders attempting to break into your home. Keep your landscaping well-maintained, and trim back any overgrowth that could provide cover, especially around windows and near doors. - Hiding Spare Keys in Obvious Places
If you have spare keys to your home, avoid hiding them under doormats or in obvious places. Criminals do know where to look for spare keys, so it’s best to keep them with a trusted neighbor or friend. Your best choice is installing smart locks that never need another key, just a code! YOu’ would be able to lock and unlock your door from anywhere in the world! - Posting on Social Media while You Are Away
Be careful about what you post on social media. Sharing your spring break vacation plans or photos while you’re away can alert burglars that your home is vacant. Instead, wait to post those until you are back. Smart criminals will stalk potential victims online! - Not Securing Your Garage
Your garage can be a vulnerable entry point to your home. Make sure to secure your garage door with a strong lock and avoid leaving it open when you’re not around. Teach your children to close the garage door, and if it is open often, make sure to hide or lock up your bikes, motorcycles etc. so they are not in view and seen from the street during a driveby! - Failing to Install Adequate Lighting in and Around your Home
Adequate lighting can deter burglars from attempting to break into your home. Install motion-sensor lights around your property to keep your home well-lit at night. If you are away for an extended period of time, use smart technology to turn on lighting at night, or use timers.
Home Security Mistakes We All Make!
We are not saying we’ve not made these mistakes ourselves. Sometimes just reading tips like these can help you create better security habits around your home. By avoiding these common springtime home security mistakes, you can keep your home and family safe and secure. Don’t forget, your security is our business. Give us a call.
The Best New Home Security Tech Gadgets of 2023
In 2023, technology is more affordable than ever!
Smarthomes, smart technology… as more and more people jump in, especially with new home construction, these types of systems have become more affordable and thus more commonplace.
Last year Strand Security installed these window shades, these types of Smarthomes systems, and several smarthome home theater technology systems!
Alexas, Google homes… who doesn’t own a ‘Siri’ device, right?
Let’s look at the best new home security tech gadgets for 2023. We know you’ll want them!
10 of the Best New Home Security Gadgets of 2023
We don’t do anything halfway.
We’ve collected a list of not one or two, but ten home security gadgets.
In no particular order, here they are!
- Smart Door Locks: Smart door locks allow you to lock and unlock your doors from anywhere using your smartphone or a smart home device. A simple app will help you double-check if you locked that door, and allows you to open the door for the nanny, grandparents, a delivery person or a contract, to name a few examples. No more leaving a key under the mat!
- Smart Alarms: Smart alarms are connected to your home security system and can alert you when there’s any unusual activity in your home. You will know immediately if someone is trying to enter your home, and precious time is saved! With a quick response, you could potentially avert a disastrous outcome!
- Video Doorbells: Video doorbells let you see who’s at your door and communicate with them even when you’re not at home. While these aren’t new, they are more popular each and every day. The best part – anyone can operate the bell and as more and more of these have been installed, people have saved lives by using these video doorbells to alert neighbors to danger. (fire, break-ins)
- Home Automation Hubs: Home automation hubs let you control all your smart home devices from a single app or device. Now that’s not new either, but at least more of our customers are asking for this. We’ve been using Zwave for years to connect all devices in one home.
- Smart Lights: Smart lights can be programmed to turn on and off at specific times, making it seem like someone is home even when you’re not. No more clunky plugin timers, no more trying to ‘set’ a failed timer. Automate this with an app!
- Indoor Security Cameras: Indoor security cameras provide live footage of what’s happening inside your home, giving you peace of mind when you’re away, and when those you love are at home. Teenagers, elderly parents, the nanny, a housecleaner. With indoor security cameras, you have a direct view of what’s happening in real time.
- Outdoor Security Cameras: Outdoor security cameras let you monitor the outside of your home, deterring intruders and helping you keep an eye on your property. If you have outdoor pets, a pool or trampoline, or kids who like to play outside, outdoor security cameras are a must.
- Motion Sensors: Motion sensors can detect any movement in your home and alert you when there’s any unusual activity, this is especially great for those families who have teenagers who might like to sneak out, or families who have a sleepwalker!
- Glass Break Detectors: Glass break detectors can detect the sound of breaking glass and alert you if someone breaks into your home. How cool is this new technology? We think this is one of the collect and most innovative new tech gadgets of 2023!
- Smoke Detectors: Smart smoke detectors can send alerts to your phone if they detect smoke or fire in your home, giving you an early warning to evacuate; time is of the essence in case of an emergency! The sooner the fire department is on the scene, the more of your home (and lives) can be saved!

3 Great Reasons you Need Security Cameras in Your Home in 2023
It’s 2023. Technology is affordable. Why are you still debating getting a home security system or security cameras?
No matter where you live, in Myrtle Beach, on the Grand Strand, somewhere in South Carolina, or elsewhere, chances are that crime is happening in your neighborhood!
Today we are going to give your 3 great reasons you need security cameras in your home in 2023.
No more waiting.
No more excuses.
No more putting it off.
Read on!
It’s Time. You Need Security Cameras in Your Home in 2023
Do you love your family?
Have you worked hard for what you have?
Do you own your own home and are paying for a mortgage?
If you’ve answered yes to all three, these three tips are for you!
Protect Your Home and Family with Security Cameras
Security cameras help you protect your home and family by providing you with a live video feed of what’s happening in and around your home.
Let’s write that again. A live video feed allows you to check on your home 24/7 in real time and shows you what is happening in and around your home.
Imagine… You can keep an eye on your kids, pets, and elderly relatives even when you’re away from home. Additionally, having security cameras deter burglars and intruders from breaking into your home, as they know they’re being monitored.
In the event of an unfortunate event like a break-in or home invasion, security cameras can also provide important evidence to the authorities to help them catch the culprits. Faster. Better. More accurately.
Monitor Your Home Remotely with Security Cameras
Another great reason to install security cameras in your home is that you can monitor your home remotely from anywhere in the world. That means you can travel for business, go on a family vacation, or visit relatives without having to worry about your assets at home.
With the help of a smartphone app, you can access live footage of your home from your office, a friend’s place, or even while you’re on vacation.
This way, you can keep an eye on your home and make sure everything is alright even when you’re not there. This can give you peace of mind and allow you to relax and enjoy your time away from home.
Sensors and cameras can be placed in strategic places in case of flooding, loss of heat, or in case of fire, this is particularly good for older homes!
Security Cameras Let You Know What’s Happening When You’re Away
Finally, security cameras can give you the ability to know what’s happening in and around your home as well, when you’re away.
With the help of motion detection technology, your security cameras can send you alerts when they detect any movement or activity in your home and outside of your home. Anyone approaching your home, friend or foe, will be picked up by these motion sensors and a live camera feed.
This way, you can stay informed and be aware of any unusual activity happening in and outside of your home.
Maybe you have a lively pet causing a ruckus, a delivery man leaving a package, or someone is lurking outside your property, you can know about it right away. This can help you take action quickly and make sure your home is safe and secure.
How to Choose the Right Security Cameras for Your Home
Choosing a security camera and a system is better left to the professionals. Take it from us, it gets confusing pretty fast when looking at all the options.
Instead of doing that, we suggest you do the following:
- set a budget
- make a list of features you need
- ask friends for recommendations
- talk with an expert
And that’s us! We’ve been installing home security systems and home security cameras for decades. Trust us with your family and assets. Your security is our business.
How Smarthome Technology Offers Disabled Persons a New Lease on Life
Living Independently in South Carolina
Everyone deserves to have a home and live the life they want. Those who are living with a disability often have fewer choices about where and how they live alone. Children with disabilities who work on gaining independence from their parents will experience confidence in themselves.
Technology can help facilitate these changes and that independence.
Technology used for good is allowing disabled persons to replace some of the tasks done for them with tasks they can do on their own with the help of this new technology.
This article will highlight just a few use-cases of smarthome technology for those living with a disability.
Smarthome Technology for The Visually Impaired
From first-hand experience we know how hard it is for someone who is slowly losing their vision to continue to live alone. Smarthome technology has helped a loved one we know in these ways:
They used Alexa to
- turn on the TV and adjust the volume
- warm up meals in the microwave
- make phone calls
- alert emergency personal
They also used another product to dispense pills twice per day.
Smarthome technology for the visually impaired can make the difference between independence, and relying on the help of a home aide.
From this article we learn:
Voice assistants can be integrated into a smart home to
- Turn on/off lights
- Control heating and cooling systems in a home
- Open/close shades
- Lock/unlock doors
- TV Control (even people who are totally blind will use a TV for audio content)
- Control robotic vacuums, mops, and lawn mowers
- Notify homeowners of events occurring in the home
- And more…
Smarthome Technology for Those with Hearing Loss
When we look as those persons with hearing loss, smarthome technology can help them in different ways.
That includes
- Smart doorbells
- Smart TVs
- Smart security system
- Smart hearing aids!
There are so many reasons to embrace smarthome technology!
Smarthome Technology for Those Who Live with Physical Limitations
This article from the New York Times highlights how people with physical disability and limited motion can be helped with smarthome technology!
It’s amazing to read WHAT can be automated in your home (HINT: Just about anything that runs on electricity!)
- telephones
- garage doors
- lights
- thermostats
- TVs
- locks
- doors
- and so so much more.
Voice controlled automation is brilliant for those with limited mobility!
Smarthome Technology for Those Living with Cognitive Impairments
Last but not least, those with cognitive impairments can be helped with smarthome technology, too.
Elderly who live alone and might forget to take meds, can be reminded to take them at set times with a simple Alexa hack. Simple tasks that are easily forgotten (like eating lunch, or cleaning the dishes) can be set to become daily reminders.
Smarthome technology can be used to make their home safer when they cook or perform other simple tasks.
Smarthome technology might give a person with cognitive impairments a bit more independence, or a few extra months in their home if they are experiencing declining health.
Smarthome Technology is Not Just for Disabled Homeowners
If you have a child with a disability, smarthome technology can enrich the life of your child by offering them more independence. Come talk to us about your most pressing issue and we might be able to help you find a simple solution with smarthome technology. We’d love to help you and your family!
Home Security Trends for 2023 and Beyond
Hey South Carolina!
What’s up? We are getting a head start on home security trends for 2023.
We know you want to know what’s new, exciting and what’s coming down the pipeline, right? Here are some of the 2023 home security trends we see taking off in 2023.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is Here to Stay!
AI, Artificial Intelligence is here. It’s being used in almost all industries and certainly has made its way to the home and commercial security industry.
Artificial intelligence is used to operate smart devices via the voice control function of AI-enabled units such as Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant, in addition to its use in home security systems. In addition, Voice commands can be used to manage advanced home security systems and commercial systems.
Cloud-Based Security in 2023
If you have heard of the “cloud” but aren’t sure what it does, here is your answer.
Cloud security, also known as cloud computing security, is a collection of home security measures designed to protect cloud-based infrastructure, applications, and data.
These measures ensure user and device authentication, data and resource access control, and data privacy protection and are connected to your home security system. More and more systems rely on cloud-based systems to backup their data such as video footage.
Smarthome Technology – Expanded
We’ve been installing and servicing smarthomes for years. In 2023 we see smarthome technology expand even more. Homeowners want their smarthome to do even more recurring tasks for them.
In 2022 we saw the first installations of smart window shades.
In 2023, we predict more and more home will add smarthomes technology to
- locks
- lights
- sound systems
- HVAC systems
- and other home appliances such as coffee makers, alarm clocks, refrigerators, ovens and more!
Will My Current Home Security System Suffice in 2023?
That is a great question.
While technology changes quickly, we can often swap out or add components for you to keep the current system in place. Unless you have a brand new home that need it all, small changes i.e new cameras, new keypad, additional sensors, these are things that can be added without breaking the bank.
Imagine the Possibilities of Smarthome Technology in 2023
Smarthome technology is not just for nerds!
It’s great for
- busy parents
- senior citizens
- disabled persons
- families
- travelers
- second home owners
- AirbnB rentals
Smarthome technology allows you to keep an eye on your home when you are not present. It also allows you to DO things in your home while not present:
- unlock doors
- adjust thermostats
- draw shades
- turn lights on and off
- and much much more!

How To Secure Your Home: Never Fall Into These Three Bad Habits Again
Happy Fall Y’all
Can you believe Fall 2022 is here?
While you might be out enjoying the sunshine, slightly shorter days and plenty of cooler weather here in South Carolina, we are always on alert! Your security is our business here at Strand Security in Murrells Inlet!
Today, we’d like to discuss three bad habits many homeowners have, that put you and your loved one at risk for a home invasion, burglary or theft.
These are three bad habits homeowners have that put them at a higher risk for a home invasion or burglary.
1 Hiding Spare Keys Outside, in an Obvious Spot
While you might have grown up as a latch key kid, or knew where all your neighbors hid their keys, there is no need to continue this dangerous habit!
If you have lock on your doors with keys, do this one thing: Go and have 10 extra keys made and only give them to people you completely trust. That’s it. Stop hiding a key outside.
If you have an emergency and do need to hide a key outside, do it in a spot away from the door.
Never, and I mean never put your key in an envelope and put it in your mailbox. Don’t hide it under a rock either.
TIP: It’s best to replace all your door locks with a keyless entry system, and connect it to your smarthome system! Never ever have a use of a key again – all you need is codes to get in the door!
2 Forgetting to Lock Doors
Did you know that most burglaries happen between the hours of 10 AM – 2 PM?
Indeed, they do and what most people don’t realize is that often a burglar enters the home through an unlocked door. Front door, garage side door, backdoor. It’s easy to walk in if the door isn’t locked
If you have this bad habit, try setting reminders on your phone, or leave yourself a note on your car’s dashboard “STOP. Did you lock the door?” might be all it takes to get into the habit of locking up behind you.
Remember, most burglaries happen because of opportunity, not scouting! Entering a home where the door is unlocked is a huge bonus for someone who wants to remain unseen and unheard!
3 Refusing to Install an Alarm System
Last but not least, another bad habit is refusing to install a home security system all together! What makes you special enough to be spared the trauma of a home invasion or burglary? Nothing!
We serve people who want to prevent a home invasion, burglary or theft. Unfortunately we are also contacted often by people who’ve already been victims and want to prevent a second occurance. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Get an alarm system now. It’s doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, it doesn’t have to be too complicated either.
Contact Strand Security in Murrells Inlet for your Home Alarm System
We make the process of home alarms, security systems as easy as possible. Give us a call today to get started. We will be happy to answer your questions over the phone!
