Home security is on the go, peace of mind even when you're away

2018-10-23

The home, always considered a safe haven, can easily become a place where accidents happen if safety issues are not addressed. Traditional home security focuses on doors and windows, believing that security bars are sufficient. However, entering the 21st century, with the changes and development of the times, traditional security measures have become outdated. Even if the community has surveillance and security guards, there are still times when oversight occurs.

  The development of the Internet of Things allows smart homes to enter daily life with many advantages such as safety, convenience, and intelligence. Whether visiting relatives and friends, traveling, or guarding offices and warehouses, security cannot be relaxed. To avoid giving criminals an opportunity, how can we do without smart homes?

  The first step in security: Smart Door Locks

  Smart door locks have significantly improved security compared to traditional door locks, and are also more intelligent. From a technical standpoint, the mainstream ZigBee technology used in smart homes currently has an encryption level 10 times higher than that of bank cards. With current technology, it is almost impossible to crack a smart lock system by force.

Most smart locks on the market have multiple unlocking methods, including NFC, remote mobile phone access, password, and fingerprint, and can even be linked to smart home scenarios to enjoy smart living. Notably, every time the lock is opened, the smart home app provides real-time feedback on the lock's status, keeping users informed. No more worries about forgetting to close the door!

  Smart Cameras Provide Additional Security

  Smart cameras are the "千里眼" (a thousand-mile eye, meaning far-sighted) of home security. How can you not worry about your elderly parents and children when you are away? How are your pets doing while you visit relatives and friends? Who is watching over your belongings while you travel?

  Compared to traditional surveillance, smart cameras offer greater advantages in terms of flexibility, security, and intelligence. Users can view their home situation anytime through their mobile phones, keeping a close watch on things. The motion detection function can also push alarm information to the phone when someone illegally enters the detection area. Video playback and two-way voice intercom functions are also extremely convenient.

  Sensors: Comprehensive Security

  Whether it's a shop, warehouse, or home, smart home infrared intrusion and door/window magnetic sensors add another layer of security. Infrared intrusion detectors can effectively detect the surrounding area. When someone illegally approaches the detection range, the infrared intrusion detector immediately pushes an alarm message to the phone, and can simultaneously activate a sound and light alarm to warn intruders and allow users to promptly understand the home situation.

  Door/window magnetic detectors are suitable for installation on both sides of windows, doors, drawers, safes, etc. When unusual activity is detected in these areas, the phone receives an immediate alarm message, and the user can check the home situation via the smart camera to promptly understand any unusual circumstances.

  With these three measures, security issues can be effectively resolved. Smart security products use advanced Internet of Things technology to provide users with a systematic solution, giving users peace of mind.

  What else should you pay attention to regarding home security?

  The above smart home products address external threats to household property. However, there are many other hidden dangers in life that should not be overlooked, which can cause not only property damage but also endanger lives, such as fire hazards and combustible gas poisoning.

  Therefore, a complete smart home security system must include a combustible gas leak detector and a smoke and fire alarm detector. The two respectively detect combustible gas and fire smoke, notifying the user's phone immediately upon detection of an abnormality. The gas leak detector can also activate a mechanical valve to close the valve and open the ventilation system for ventilation.

  With such flexible, reliable, and timely security, what more could you ask for?
