Lights, camera, action! With smart security, it’s literally a movie, and you’re the director in charge of everything. We live in a smart world today, so it makes sense that we make our security smart as well. Imagine being able to control the rotation and view of your camera at home while seated in an Uber headed for a dinner date. Or seeing who is at your door while away on vacation and being able to speak with them. And in case of emergencies at home or the office while you’re away, you can get real-time alerts with an option of an emergency dispatch immediately. In a world that’s increasingly busy, it’s easy to miss things that matter, but with smart devices you don’t miss a thing. You get instant notifications real-time of even motion movement.
A smart security system seamlessly integrates your home security or business security system into your everyday life. It connects your security with your personal devices such as smartphones using wireless technology. Smart security has evolved from CCTV cameras which can be viewed on your phone to more smart solutions such as intruder alarms with app monitoring. You can monitor activities in your home or office from your phone via an app. The app also offers you options on what actions to take depending on the situation. For instance, if the alarm shows that there’s an intruder on your property, then you can call the police immediately. If however, the alarm has gone off because your kids at home triggered it, you can easily reset the alarm from your phone without having to be at home.
Smart cameras
Smart cameras using innovative technology, when connected to your Wi-Fi network can relay videos to your phone or other smart device real-time. They enable you monitor the interior and exterior of your property from the comfort of your couch wherever you may be around the world. Smart cameras come with superior features such as night vision, motion detection, HD resolution, 2-way audio, zoom/focus, and SD card slots for recording capabilities.
Smart Locks
Smart locks allow seamless entry into your home or office. Smart locks are connected to your Wi-Fi network. They are designed with fingerprint sensors and keypads. They can be set to give push notifications directly to your phone or smart device whenever the lock is opened. There are also padlocks with fingerprint and bluetooth unlocking functions.
Smart Lighting
Smart lighting is connected wirelessly to your smartphone through an app. Through the app you can group lights in different rooms together and turn them on and off at set times. Smart light can also be installed outside of your property to illuminate pathways at night. They can be set to illuminate when human motion is detected. Smart lighting is a great security feature to have especially when you are away on holidays or for some days. By turning lights on and off at set times, it creates the illusion that you’re home and deters intruders.
Smart Doorbells
Smart doorbells enable you see who’s at the door from wherever you might be. Smart doorbells come with in-built HD cameras and real-time two-way audio systems that enable you communicate with whoever is at your door. Some advanced models have night vision cameras for clear video streaming at night and motion sensors to detect motion around your door.
Smart sensors
Smart sensors can be paired with your smart cameras, smart doorbells, smart locks and smart lighting for a superior smart security experience. They are also connected by a Wi-Fi connection to your smartphone or smart device via an app. There are various sensors such as gas detector to detect flammable gas molecules in the air in rooms and other places where they are installed, door and window sensors that trigger an alarm whenever specific doors or windows are opened, and motion sensors to detect movement around certain areas. Whenever these sensors detect what they are intended for, an alert is sent to your phone to take appropriate action.
