Protect tips

Quick, practical advice to get the most from your security kit.

Where to fit your video doorbell

  • Mount it roughly at chest height (around 1.2 m) so faces are in frame, not the tops of heads.
  • Check your Wi-Fi signal at the front door with your phone before fitting.
  • Avoid pointing it straight into the sun, which can wash out the picture.

Getting the best camera angle

  • Cover entry points first: the front door, back door, side gates and driveway.
  • Mount high and angle slightly down so it's hard to reach or block.
  • Be considerate: aim at your own property, not into neighbours' gardens or the street.

Setting up your fingerprint lock

  • Register each finger two or three times from slightly different angles for faster reads.
  • Add a second finger per person in case of a cut or plaster.
  • Keep a set of spare batteries handy and change them when the low-battery warning appears.

Everyday habits that help

  • Keep keys and car fobs away from doors and letterboxes.
  • Use timer lights when you're away so the house looks lived-in.
  • Don't post holiday plans publicly until you're home.
