Safe and secure
Myfox has launched the world’s first proactive smart home security solution with a home alarm and camera that can help prevent a break-in before it actually happens. The products are sleek and discreet and can be set up in minutes, with no wires or drills. Using the free Myfox Security Smartphone App, you can control the alarm and camera and invite trusted friends and neighbours to access the system, which will alert them via text message if there is an intrusion. The alarm costs £249 and the camera is £169, and you can get both at Amazon.
