Welcome to the November roundup of Total Security Solutions’ blog. We packed this month with practical guides, product comparisons, and tips you can use right away to make your home safer and smarter.
First up, we explained how adding smart security tech can lift a property’s market value. Connected cameras, smart locks and integrated alarms not only give peace of mind, they also make a house look modern to buyers. The article showed real‑world examples where homes saw a noticeable price bump after installing these systems.
Next, we put ADT and Vivint side by side. If you’re thinking about switching, the guide breaks down pricing, features, and customer service for each brand. We highlighted Vivint’s flexible, app‑driven approach and ADT’s long‑standing reputation, helping you decide which fits your lifestyle and budget.
Ring’s theft‑replacement policy also got attention. UK homeowners often wonder if a stolen Ring doorbell will be replaced. Our deep dive clarified the steps to claim a replacement, what the policy covers, and how to protect your doorbell from future theft.
Night‑vision cameras were another hot topic. Not every surveillance camera has true night vision, so we clarified the differences between infrared LEDs and low‑light sensors. Knowing these details lets you pick a camera that actually sees in the dark, instead of paying for features you don’t need.
We also explored whether a smart doorbell can work without Wi‑Fi. The answer is yes, but with limits. The article outlined offline options like local storage and cellular backups, so you can still get alerts even when your internet goes down.
One common question is whether burglar alarms automatically call the police. The truth is that only monitored systems trigger a central station that contacts law enforcement. We explained how to set up a monitored plan and what responsibilities fall on you as the homeowner.
Outdoor security lighting sparked a lively debate. Leaving lights on all night can deter intruders, but it also hikes energy bills and adds light pollution. Our guide suggested timer‑controlled or motion‑activated fixtures as a balanced solution that saves power while keeping burglars at bay.
Speaking of motion lights, we dug into their effectiveness. Real‑world tests show that bright, sensor‑driven lights can surprise a thief and make them think a neighbour is watching. Installation is simple, cost is low, and the added layer of visibility often stops a break‑in before it starts.
All these pieces together give you a clear picture of what’s new in home security for November 2024. Whether you’re upgrading a smart system, choosing a doorbell, or tweaking your outdoor lighting, the tips here are ready to put into practice today.

Determining whether a baby monitor needs WiFi depends on the specific needs and preferences of parents and caregivers.
