Tech tools to secure your apartment

Living in an apartment can have its advantages. For starters your apartment building may already have some type of security system already installed. However, sometimes the buildings security system isn’t enough. You can make your apartment secure and high-tech at the same time, here are five tech tools you can use…


This isn't the security device you were thinking of, but don’t write it off just yet! Water damage can cost you big bucks to repair, so catching small leaks early is the best method to prevent disaster. Place one of these moisture sensors near your pipes in the bathroom or kitchen and if any unusual moisture is detected, you’ll be alerted immediately.


The Withings Home is an HD camera with environmental sensors that can detect both motion and sound. Whether it is a baby crying in the next room or someone attempting to break in, this device will pick up almost any activity.


This device isn't available for everyone just yet, but according to the preview video, the setup only takes about two minutes – making this one of the easiest security systems to use. The first step is to plug the system into your internet router, then place the sensors in the corner of any doors and windows. If the sensors are tripped you will be alerted via smartphone.


The IZON gives you the ability to watch what’s happening in your apartment even when you’re not there. This is especially important for people who live in apartments where they’re not the only person with a key. Anyone who works for the apartment complex can potentially get the keys to your place like the repairman or landlord. The IZON Video Monitor allows you to see who has come and gone.


If you’re looking for a camera with a wide range of coverage, then the Netgear Arlo Security Camera might be just right for you! It is completely wireless and can be secured on walls, ceilings or even hidden behind furniture. The Netgear Arlo is also weatherproof and has night vision, making it an ideal outdoor camera too.

Installing a home security system in your apartment is a bit more difficult than installing one in a house. So, it’s best to pick security devices that can be easily installed and moved!
