With the rise of smart home technology, securing our homes has become far more convenient, yet complex, than ever before: with multitudes of options at our fingertips, making the right choice can feel overwhelming. So, in this episode of On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella consults tech journalist John Carlsen for insight into what truly matters in home security.

Specializing in smart home security, John Carlsen has written numerous articles and reviews in the field since 2013. Having been a staff writer for SafeWise and Top Ten Reviews, John  Carlsen recently switched to freelance tech journalism, with CNET, Android Police, and TWICE among his clients. Notably, he works to provide his readers with clear, reliable information so they can find appropriate security solutions for their lifestyles.

In this episode, John  Carlsen addresses the misconception that security will prevent crimes from occuring to your home, and that cameras will deter robbers. He describes physical security as passive, and technology as active, recommending smart locks, CCTVs, and alarms as quintessential security products for every home.

Together, Marie and John Carlsen discuss common vulnerabilities in technology-based security and weigh up viable workarounds. So, tune in this week for expert insights on what to consider when fortifying your fortress!
