Smart security can add value to home

Homeowners are willing to pay up to £2,500 more for a house with smart security, according to a survey by TLF Research. Another TFL survey of adults looking to move house or buy a new home found that smart doorbells can increase the value of your home by an average of £180, while motion sensor cameras can add an extra £345 to house values. Analytical outdoor cameras, which are often designed to be inconspicuous, can boost your property’s value by another £300.
