In a global culture driven by ‘smart’ technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) is the center of all activity. IoT is an integrated system of multiple devices that are connected via the internet. In the case of Smart Homes, appliances, gadgets, home security, and smart assistants are commonly a part of the IoT system. A home is usually a place where we feel the safest. An IoT-based home security system is an important feature of a smart home. Home security not only means protecting your perimeter from break-ins, but the home also needs to be protected from internal risks like gas leaks, leakages, or fires. IoT home security is a crucial part of a smart home that gives the homeowner peace of mind, especially when they are away. Read on to find out the major trends that will dominate IoT Home Security in the coming year.
IoT as a Global Platform
With the rise of cloud technology, SaaS platforms (Software-as-a-Service platforms) are gaining popularity. For the uninitiated, SaaS enables users to subscribe to a software that is hosted online over the cloud by the service provider. In the case of home security, IoT SaaS solutions support everything from smart door locks, video phones, and cloud storage. This means that you can have total control over your home security data while benefitting from cutting-edge technology available on IoT SaaS platforms. These platforms make it easier to manage home security using easy-to-use dashboards which feature real-time data. Keeping up with emerging trends, Discreet Solutions is set to launch its IoT SaaS platform for superior security and reliable service.
IoT Mobile Applications
With a smartphone in every hand, mobile applications have been a game-changer in the way we conduct our life. IoT Mobile Applications have further begun to revolutionize user experience, including some of the largest technology companies in the world who have embraced this emerging trend. Smart home systems and IoT home security combined with mobile applications are still viewed as sophisticated technology, but it is likely to pick up in the coming year and change the way we safeguard our homes. Mobile applications enable users to monitor their home security 24×7, lock or unlock their homes from anywhere in the world, get instant notifications for any activity related to the home security system and also see live feeds if connected to security cameras. Discreet Solutions has been an industry leader in this regard by being one of the first companies to have integrated the IoT home security system, OneTouch, with a customized mobile application.
IoT in Smart Devices
Smart devices are trending, with many urban homes embracing this technology. Smart devices are inherently designed to be a part of IoT and have a huge potential in home security. They can be leveraged for monitoring and operating home security systems. The advantage of smart devices is that they allow hands-free operation without the need to even look at your smartphone or control center. These devices make utilizing IoT home security extremely convenient to use. With advancements in technology, it will soon be common to not just operate locks and sensors from the smart device, but also receive notifications from home security systems.
OneTouch, the IoT home security solution from Discreet Solutions, enables you to connect to many types of smart devices. OneTouch offers advanced home security solutions that can also be operated with voice commands.
