Cameras, doorbells and smart locks: devices to protect the home at Christmas and New Year

Security devices for the smart home are already the daily lives of many people, with solutions that integrate automation options, AI technologies and energy efficiency, all with the ability to control security from the smartphone in a simple and accessible way.

In this sense, the current Christmas holiday period is a scenario that lends itself to users choosing to continue promoting the growth of the connected and secure home, with practical alternatives to traditional gifts.

Specifically, from manufacturers such as Netatmo and omajin, which have security solutions that aim to facilitate the daily lives of users, thanks to devices that are easy to install and designed to manage home protection from their mobile devices.

Reduce false alerts with AI and image recognition

Beyond having connected cameras from which to see if everything is in order, one of the most relevant advances in home security currently is the application of AI technologies to carry out image recognition.

This is because current security cameras not only record, but also analyze what is happening around them to share it in the form of alerts and notifications with users. This is the case of the Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera with Siren, which integrates capabilities to automatically distinguish between people, vehicles or animals.

Once the camera has interpreted what is happening, for example, if a car is parked, an animal appears at the door, or it is a person trying to enter, it has a function that sends personalized alerts to users, directly to their smartphone, so that they are informed at all times of the situation.

Additionally, should an intrusion be identified, the camera is equipped with an audible alarm that activates automatically to alert users. However, Netatmo has highlighted the ability of AI recognition to distinguish when there is a true alert or when it is any other interaction.

Following this line, for security inside the home, the company also offers the Advance Interior Camera, which incorporates functions aimed at privacy. Specifically, it includes a physical shutter that opens and closes automatically using geolocation.

In this way, when the camera identifies that users are entering the home, based on the registered location, it automatically closes the shutter to ensure their day-to-day privacy, as Netatmo has explained.

Access to the home remotely and securely

Furthermore, smart security is not limited to video surveillance, but also extends to door locks, eliminating the need to duplicate physical keys. This is thanks to the connected locks, which allow access to the home to be managed remotely and securely.

For example, with the Netatmo Smart Lock, users can authorize the opening and closing of doors through the Home + Security app. This includes features to control who enters and leaves the home.

As Netatmo has pointed out, this is an option specially designed to control who can enter family homes or second homes, all remotely to keep access protected.

In addition, both the smart cameras and the lock are solutions that focus on centralizing the management of home security, facilitating a “unified and accessible from anywhere” experience.

Connected security for users without technical experience

Although these new technologies and security solutions are advanced, another advantage they offer is that users do not have to have advanced knowledge to use and install them in their homes.

In fact, the devices from the manufacturer omajin are committed to simple installation and intuitive use, with solutions such as its wireless video doorbell, which allows you to see and talk to whoever is knocking at your home’s door from your mobile phone.

The same goes for security cameras, which are designed for both internal and external use, and which, to make their use even easier, have completely wireless operation. In this way, users can install them anywhere in the home in a simple and accessible way.

As a result, anyone can monitor their home continuously without impediments, adapting to “both main homes and second homes,” without construction, as the company has explained.

With all this, Netatmo has highlighted that smart security “is no longer a technology reserved for advanced profiles”, but there are options like those mentioned that integrate with everyday devices in a simple way and guarantee accessible home protection, becoming “one of the main trends in the domestic technology sector.”

That is why, in order to bring this innovative technology to more users and promote the growth of the smart secure home, Christmas becomes a time to bet on smart camera, doorbell and lock solutions, which adapt to any space, as a technological gift option.
