Frequently asked questions

Cameras that record locally, to a microSD card or a home hub or recorder, work without a subscription, while cloud storage is usually paid or limited. Also check for open protocols such as ONVIF or RTSP, and favour local storage to keep better control of your data.

As a general rule, a camera should only cover your own property, not the street, the sidewalk or your neighbours' homes, because privacy laws limit recording other people. The exact rules depend on where you live, so check the privacy rules that apply in your area and angle the camera accordingly.

A well-made smart lock warns you long before the batteries run out and keeps a mechanical key or backup code so you can still open the door. Check that it fits your door: most Canadian exterior doors use a deadbolt, while many European models are built for euro cylinders. Also make sure it works over Bluetooth even without Wi-Fi and encrypts its communications.

No, professional monitoring is optional: a smart alarm can send phone notifications and sound a siren without any subscription. Monitoring adds a human response from a monitoring centre, but at a monthly cost. Choose based on whether you can realistically react to alerts yourself.

Install a smoke detector on every floor, including the basement, and in hallways leading to bedrooms, plus a CO detector near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances such as a furnace or water heater. Look for a ULC or CSA mark (European models are certified to EN 14604 for smoke and EN 50291 for CO instead), and choose interconnected alarms so they all sound at once. Requirements vary, so check the rules in your province or territory.
