To enhance the home’s security network multiple devices can be connected.
These can all work together within the same network to monitor access points
throughout the house. A small remote provided with the product allows the
user to disarm the security system if their smartphone is unable to function
ordinarily. The low-energy bluetooth enabled remote is coded to communicate
with the monitoring unit from which it was originally paired. An additional
product to the Pact system is a low-energy bluetooth tag to be fitted to a collar
of household pets. This provides the monitoring units with the proximity of the
animal in order to not trigger the alarm yet still remain active in monitoring for
intruders.
At the centre of the system is an application which allows the user to control
and define settings of their personal security system. Through this, the user has
the ability to define what actions will happen as a result of the system being
triggered. For example, a notification may appear suggesting a disturbance in
the user’s apartment. The Pact application will present an array of predefined
options which enables the user to select an appropriate course of action. Such
actions may include activating an alarm deterrent, contacting neighbours or
friends to check the house and even shortcuts to contact emergency services.
From here, they can also record and stream the video taken from the hub and
other connected monitoring units.
Custom security modes can be created based around schedules and habits.
Using WiFi password protocols, the system can be instructed to accommodate
for many people who may enter or exit the house that are not paired with
the home WiFi. Family members, regular visitors or temporary guests can
gain access to the house or apartment without giving the Pact user constant
notification. Through the application interface, the devices can be managed
to perform actions such as syncing, arming, disarming, suspending as well
as updating software. The application enables the user to have access to
information such as instructions, warranty and also provide help through
frequently asked questions and connections to chat, telephone and email
support services.
