Shannon Bird: In an overshare society, not sharing everything with everyone helped me achieve healing, forgiveness

A small little unit that brings a big peace of mind…       

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I am a very cautious person when it comes to safety and locking up my home.

I’ve opened my life, home, and everything that I hold near and dear to hundreds and thousands // hundreds of thousands on various apps all across the world wide web, so you better believe I put a very high value on home security.

A big part of my blog is traveling and traveling often. Informing the world when I do travel has made me extra cautious about a lot of things. We have a high-end alarm system with video cameras and alarms on all doors and windows. The alarm company calls the police immediately if there is any movement inside the home while I have it armed while on away mode.

I also have extra Blink cameras inside and outside of my home that are linked on the Blink app that I can view for extra protection.

Blink alone is a great security option for most people. It really is all you need. I am just more cautious and currently stuck in a contract, which is why I currently have two/double the security.

The reason my family got extra security cameras for the exterior of our home started this summer when my neon yellow slow down men kept getting stolen from my front yard.

I bought 6 men total this summer, buying 2 at a time and now have 0! 6 times my property was taken from me right in front of me while I was sleeping. {shudder}

I decided that I needed to up my security camera game and found Blink.  I love knowing when I am home my home and yard are always armed, monitored and filmed. I love this feeling especially while I travel.

I love how the system is also incredibly affordable and has no contract or subscription fees. It is super easy to set up, and runs on two AA batteries that last for 2 years.  The system gives us peace of mind when we’re traveling and makes me feel safe when it’s just me here with the kids. Or when I have sitters.

It wasn’t until last year I started getting sitters because I know how busy and active my children are. I love being able to check on my children while I’m on a date to make sure the house is safe and the kids are doing ok.

Getting a Blink Wireless Home Security and Monitoring System for inside our home was truly the best move we made for peace of mind and increasing our home security.

It’s so easy to use too. Once you have your camera set into position it works through the Blink app on your phone so you have access to a live view from any of the cameras. You can also manage the settings directly in the app which allow you to set alerts for movement, or automatically record any time there is movement in the room. Basically when motion is detected, Blink will record the activity it sees and saves it as a shareable video file that you can access at any point directly from your phone.

It’s completely wireless and it sends motion activated alerts and high quality HD video right to your cell phones. So if one of my children were to escape the home from under my babysitters nose, I would get notified and alert the sitter. Kinda like a buddy system.

I strongly recommend every home / doorstep to have a Blink security system protecting them. Because you never know who could be walking by your home and what they could take, packages or neon yellow slow down men.

I personally feel better knowing that Blink security is watching out for me and my family.
