SMART HOME CONTROL

Whether it is a question of preventing possible intrusions into the house during the absence of the owners, or to prevent domestic accidents, several innovative solutions in terms of security are open to the owner's choice.

New innovations

You no longer need to invest in a guard dog or negotiate with your neighbour to keep an eye on your home every night. Today, alarm models are increasingly part of the dynamics of technological change. Indeed, the latest innovations in home alarms highlight more accessible and sophisticated products. Most new models are wireless, equipped with motion or opening sensors, or equipped with options such as a badge reader or rf remote control. They are also set so that they are triggered only in the event of human intrusion. Sensors can tell the difference between humans and animals. Some more advanced models are equipped with memory to record specific sequences of an intrusion so that criminals can be identified later, while others use home automation technology.

Home automation at the service of security

Connectivity and high technology combine in the case of home automation alarms. These are, in fact, remote-controllable alarm models, which make it possible to perform certain operations such as closing doors and roller shutters or turning off and on the wireless lighting or heating. Home automation uses Internet solutions. The user can activate or deactivate the main alarm functions via his smart phone or PC, he can also have a look at his house through the connected video surveillance cameras. The home automation alarm can also be programmed in advance so that it operates automatically. This helps prevent domestic accidents such as a fire start, because the system is able to trigger preventive actions such as opening windows to evacuate smoke.

How to choose the type of alarm?

You can choose between classic wired or wireless models. Although, in principle, the first use of an alarm is to deter criminals and to make them give up, installing a wired model requires some work to lay the wires, it is on the other hand more suitable for large-area premises. On the other hand, even if its price is higher, the wireless alarm is more economical, because it does not require installation costs and it can be installed in a few moments. To add many more options on the alarm, the owner can install a transmitter, of which there are two models: RCT and GSM. Its operation allows connect the device to a central connected on a telephone line or Internet, allowing the remote control. You can also add accessories like surveillance cameras to your alarm. Finally, the choice of intrusion or technical detectors, such as smoke, flood or gas leak detectors, depends on the type and size of the house.
