Smart doorbells for your home security

This is a common with smart security systems, and come with a small camera in your doorbell button
This means that whenever some comes to near your door bell or rings the bell, you get an alert on your phone. With the alert sends an alert to your phone and activates the camera, allowing you to see the visitor through your phone camera
Your video door bells works to keep you updated on visitors, and even a potential burglary or break-in
The doorbell cameras give you high resolution videos, are capable of motion-sensing, and also permit two-way audio

Smart locks for your home security

Smart locks give you both security and convenience. They allow you to go completely keyless
These smart locks have the ability to connect & communicate with your mobile phone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, allowing you to lock and unlock your door from anywhere. Many also automatically lock and unlock when they detect your phone approaching so that you can come and go without ever having to worry about whether the door is locked
You could have a ‘number pad’ or ‘touchscreen’ based lock where a code ‘unlocks your door’. The other one is an ‘app’ based option connected to your smartphone for ‘locking’ and ‘unlocking’ functionalities
Smart locks can be enabled with both ‘key’ and ‘no-key’ options

Smart cameras enabling home security

Smart thermostats

Smart thermostats are handy devices that help you save on your electricity bills. Thermostats are devices that cut-off the power supply upon reaching the desired (targeted) temperature just like in air-conditioners or refrigerators

These are also connected with home Wi-Fi network and are smartphone ‘app’ controlled
You can choose your climate preferences, and also specify times that you are NOT at home to minimise consumption
Smart thermostats help you manage heating or cooling of your home VRV systems, or other ‘temperature regulating systems’. They prevent the temperature in your home turn excessively high or low. This in turn helps prevent situations like outbreak of ‘fire’ or a ‘freezing of pipes’ of your air-conditioning unit

Smart lights in 3 BHK homes

This too gives you both convenience and better security
For instance, the Wi-Fi enabled LED bulbs are controllable through your smartphone app. You can switch your LED bulbs ‘on or off’. You could schedule (pre-program) the lighting options or turn them on/off manually
You can be worry-free during vacation, and don’t have to be memory dependent on the electricals in your home
You could even switching on certain light bulbs daily to TRICK burglars in giving an impre3ssion that someone is home

Smart smoke alarms

Smoke alarms help you detect where a fire is located, and communicate it to you using wi-fi, telling you the exact location of the mishap
Alerts received on your phone keep you aware about the safety of your home
You also have the option of ‘silencing’ your alarms when you are away, using the app-driven options
