Room by Room Security Planner
Plan security room by room so nothing is missed and nothing is over-done. Toggle the areas your home has and get an indicative device checklist for each — cameras belong on entries & shared spaces, never in bedrooms or bathrooms (privacy & the DPDP Act); kitchens need fire detection, not cameras. Planning figures; runs in your browser.
- Smart lock or deadbolt
- Door viewer / video door phone
- Door contact sensor
- Camera covering the entry (not private corners)
- Motion sensor
- Panic button (optional)
- Window contact sensors
- NO camera (privacy) — sensors & a door-lock instead
- A personal safe
- Smoke detector
- Heat detector (not smoke, to avoid nuisance)
- Gas / LPG leak detector
Indicative checklist only — a professional tailors it to your layout, sightlines and threats. Cameras stay on entries & shared spaces (never bedrooms or bathrooms), and life-safety detection — fire, gas — must be specified and fitted by a qualified installer. Verify every choice with a pro.
