July was packed with practical how‑tos, product round‑ups, and eye‑opening industry insights. Whether you’re hunting for the best wireless video doorbell, wondering if CCTV works without power, or curious about Ring security risks, we’ve got short, clear articles to help you decide.
We kicked off the month with a buyer’s guide to the top wireless video doorbells in the UK. The guide breaks down features, smart home compatibility, and price points so you can pick a model that fits your front door and budget. A follow‑up explained the three main doorbell types—wired, wireless, and smart—highlighting pros, cons, and ideal use cases. Finally, we answered a common question: do you need an electrician to install a Ring doorbell? The answer is no for most homes, as long as you follow our step‑by‑step safety tips.
Our CCTV coverage ranged from salary trends for operators to technical advice on placement. One post revealed how much CCTV operators can earn in 2025, offering a realistic look at top‑paying sectors and steps to boost your earnings. Another article warned about the wrong spots to install cameras—privacy‑breaching zones and illegal angles—so you stay compliant. We also tackled night‑time surveillance with a review of the best night‑vision devices for 2025, explaining key specs like infrared range and sensor size.
Want to watch your cameras on the go? We posted two easy guides: one shows how to view live feeds on your phone, and the other walks you through connecting a security camera to a mobile device, complete with troubleshooting tips. If you worry about power cuts, our detailed post confirms that CCTV can keep recording with battery backups or solar options, so you never miss a moment.
We didn’t forget the occasional tech curiosity. A quick look at Samsung phones with night‑mode cameras helped photo‑enthusiasts capture clearer low‑light shots. Meanwhile, a comparison of floodlights versus security lights clarified when each is the smarter outdoor lighting choice.
Security isn’t just about gadgets—people and pets matter too. Our guide on SimpliSafe sensors answered whether cats can trigger motion alarms, giving pet owners peace of mind. We also explored the downsides of CCTV, from privacy concerns to hidden costs, so you can weigh the trade‑offs before installing a system.
Ring users got special attention. One article explained how long Ring videos stay saved without a subscription, while another warned about hacks that let thieves disable Ring doorbells. We offered practical steps to harden your device against tampering.
All these pieces share a common goal: give you real, usable info without the fluff. Bookmark this archive, revisit when you’re ready to upgrade a device, or skim for quick answers. Total Security Solutions is here to help you protect home and business with simple, reliable advice.
