We all expect to be safe in our own homes don’t we? But what happens when someone threatens that safety and it could have been easily prevent. I wanted to share a post about home safety. Why? Because recently it has been a topic for discussion between myself, my neighbours as well as within our household.
Within the last month and a half we have had two break ins on our street alone and I heard there have been others on roads nearby.
I’m going to be straight up, I am a teensy bit scared, more so because I have young children and frankly you never know whose outside if like me you have a great big wooden door with no windows to see out of. The worst part is that the second break in was whilst there was someone in their own home. Apparently someone knocked on their door, they of course went to open the door and 4 large men pushed their way in. Fortunately they just stole from the poor woman but as we all know it could have been a far worse situation.
Since then I have been more than a little nervous about opening the door and if my husband is around I get him to do it.
What we clearly need is some form of security camera system to enable us to see who is outside and then decide whether we want to open the door to them. It’s also handy for avoiding door to door sales people and Jehovah ’s Witness’s who like to come calling just when I am in the middle of something.
My parents have recently installed a system which is brilliant so no matter where they are they can see both outside and inside of the house either on their phone or tablet. By coincidence I had an email land in my inbox from Panasonic about a Panasonic Outdoor Camera, seriously how on earth did they know! With the concern as to our home security firmly in my mind I did not hesitate to take a look at their site. Amazingly there on the screen was the exact item that would help disperse my fears, an outdoor security system. Like the device my parents have it streams live footage to both smartphones and tablets. There are built-in visual and infra-red sensors, a microphone so you can communicate with those outside your front door which is great if you are out shopping when the delivery man arrives as you can ask them to drop off your parcel to the neighbour. Pictures can also be recorded to the SD card in the system’s hub and there are various SD cards with different amounts of memory to choose from.
It’s great for safety and I must admit if you also get the indoor camera it is also quite useful for those with young children as you can pop babies, toddlers to bed and go and do the washing, cleaning, cooking, have a cup of tea but be able to see them easily via your device of choice. The cherry on the top ……. there are no monthly fees!
Take a look at this great video which really sums up everything you need to know plus the house in the video looks fantastic so it’s worth having a look at that too.
It sounds great doesn’t it and has to be something I will strongly consider using at home to keep my family safe especially with Christmas coming up and the increase in break ins that generally happen around that time.
Would you consider having a home a Panasonic security system in our home?
In collaboration with Panasonic. All views are my own.

We have cameras around our home and they do make me feel a lot more secure HOWEVER we have had several incidents and the footage has been next to useless so they haven’t been that useful but if they make me feel better then they’re worth it xxx
For me it’s more to be able to see who is outside. I would rather I know who is there then just open the door to a person or people I can’t see.
This is such a great idea and sounds less costly than installing a complete alarm system.
I think it’s really good too and I love that you can see both inside and outside depending on which cameras you get.
Yes I would. We have thought of having one installed in the past.
It is a great idea and also can help work as a preventative to would be burglars.
I always worry about being burgled – this sounds like a great idea for a little peace of mind!
Glad you agree Milly the camera looks great doesn’t it 😉
I am so unsure about cameras on my home, at work we have video entry which I do really like and it is handy as I can speak to anyone waiting to come in and wait for ID to be shown x
I think from a safety perspective they are great as yo can see who is at the door 😉
I have seen a few of these on adverts and I was thinking to buy it too! But the Panasonic one sounds much reliable since the brand has been there since forever! Will definitely look at the website!
This one looks brilliant, the video really does sell it 😉
awesome looking camera to keep the house safe
It is a really good camera I love that you can see your home and outside when you are out x
I’d love an outdoor camera, not just for the security aspect, but also to find out who’s dog keeps leaving little presents on our front lawn
This sounds like a great idea! We don’t live in the nicest area, so this kind of thing would definitely put my partner’s mind at rest! 🙂
We live in the countryside which can also leave your feeling isolated. The cameras look the perfect idea for added security x
You can never be too safe and the Panasonic range is great!
It does look really good 😉
I would really like this, to know I’m always safe x
I’m a big fan of Panasonic, I like the look of this product.
I travel a lot so for me its important to ensure my home has safety measures in place which include have an outdoor camera so yes I would definitely get one
Oh gosh, this sounds so scary for you! A camera like this is definitely something I’d consider in your situation – anything to make home feel a bit safer!
I know, I wasn’t very happy when I heard what had happened. This would make me feel much safer 😉
This is an essential item for keeping your house and family safe these days
I really like this idea, especially that you can talk to the person who is at your door when you are out.
This sounds great, we have had a few problems where we live si would be nice to feel secure x
I must admit I do miss our video entry from our old flat so this would be a useful alternative now we’re in a house.
The house across the street from us was burgled recently, its made us think about things we can do to protect our own home
Sometimes, you have to do what makes you feel safe. This camera sounds likes a more cost-effective way.
It does sound really good 😉
It sounds brilliant. We got burgled when I was 8 and to be honest I’ve never really got over it! I don’t think people realise just how traumatic it is, but especially to children x
I’m sorry to hear that it can be a very frightening experience.
I always feel insecure at home maybe I need to invest in one sounds perfect 🙂
It does sound great doesn’t it 😉
I think people need to be a bit more safety savvy when answering the door (me included) we are rather trusting at times and this can just be what the con men want. But I think if I lived in a built up area (city) we would have a lot more security around the house.
Great review, very informative. The security camera looks excellent and easy to use.
this would really be great for me as i always worry about being burgled but also living on your own you can see outside
I keep meaning to get something like this for our home, just to add that little bit more safe and secure feeling.
does look good, i would def have one. would make me feel safer at home
This sounds like a very good idea. I’m very sorry that your street has had such a problem lately, that is frightening.
I recommend every getting a camera to help protect their home especially with how much stuff inside is worth.
You can never be to safe and Panasonic have always. Been a top brand
