Unfortunately, in today’s world that is a very valid concern.

A good home security system is a great deterrent, but not every home needs a full-blown system like that.

Depending on your home’s size and layout, an inexpensive and strategically placed IP camera or two could be all you need keep a virtual “eye” on your house while you’re out of town using your smart phone, tablet or laptop computer.
