The Tech Your Home Can't Do Without | #CP

When it comes to technology in the home, the majority of us are actually pretty basic. Compared to the wide variety of technology that there is available, most of us just have a TV, a tablet, and anything simple along the lines of that. But the quality of technology for your home has never been better, and it can dramatically improve your home life in many ways. Whether it's technology that'll protect your home or technology that will make family life easier, you're going to need these things more than you realise. It's often not until someone points out what we're missing, until we realise we don't know how we could have ever lived without it. This is what this post is going to be about, showing you the technology your home can't live without. So, sit back and relax, and see if you'd like to try any of the following! 



Security Is So Important Now

It's such a shame that we're having to think about security more and more now. At the minute, there are more break ins to cars and homes than ever before, especially at this time of year. Theives know that there's going to be more valuables in the home than ever before, which make for a nice pay check for them. Christmas' are ruined each year because all presents are stolen. So, to protect yours, you could look at motion sensor security lights. They will alert you when anyone or anything has activated them, allowing you to check outside to see who is there. You could also have a security camera running alongside it to record whatever the light is picking up. Both of these together will deter any thief from coming into your home. If they do, you should have a clear video of who it is, making it far easier to catch. Keeping valuables and presents in your room, rather than under the tree, might also be something to try. 

Calm Family Life Down

Family life can definitely be a bit chaotic at this time of year, especially when the kids get off school for Christmas. So to try and keep family life calm, you should keep it orientated around Christmas, but have a movie night every night. To maximise this experience, you could splash out on a surround sound system. It makes it much more cinematic to watch the film, and often makes you far more engrossed in the film. You don't necessarily even have to splash out on them that much. Bargains can often be found this time of year, especially in the sale. 

Ease Those Pesky Chores

Chores are nobody's favourite pass time, but unfortunately they're a daily occurance in the home. If you want something quirky to hell you, you could look at robot hoovers to go around the house for you. They map out the route, and hoover as they go along. The only downside is that they don't hold much dirt, so you'll find yourself emptying it a lot.
