HOME SECURITY (from previous page) Being wireless, smart security devices will become easier to install and much more portable so that owners can take it with them when they move. The wireless nature of these systems will mean the speed of installation should vastly decrease over time. This is good for both the customer, who will be up, running and secure very quickly, and for the industry as it means that engineers can fit more jobs into a working day, increasing profitability. The tough regulatory requirements in the UK mean monitored alarms must be still be fitted by professional installers to ensure it meets the stringent requirements. But technology can streamline and speed up this process too. For Grade 2 alarm systems and above automated system design proposals, URN application and customer billing is now possible. This will simplify the ‘paperwork’ and instantly send over the completed documents to the police and other appropriate third parties. The increased adoption of smart devices in homes across the UK will have a positive impact for professional installers as more people turn to smart systems to protect their homes. Advances in IoT technology can not only provide smart, flexible home security solutions to meet everyone’s needs, but it can also provide low-cost options that meet everyone’s budget, too. Smart security solutions give buyers the flexibility to purchase different packages and add on items depending on what they need. Perhaps they would prefer their alarm system to comprise only motion sensors or indoor and outdoor cameras. Or maybe they live in a flat and don’t want some of the bigger offerings of the larger providers. Smart security can offer consumers flexibility with how they choose to secure their homes. The added benefit to the industry is that the customer can always choose to upgrade as their living circumstances change – adding more sensors, cameras or other features – providing another potential revenue stream to the supplier and fitters. Then there’s the possibility of smart alarm systems providing a lower cost buying option to consumers via the likes of ‘rolling monthly’ payments or even ‘no contract’, instead of locking buyers in to pricey long-term contracts that incur fees if cancelled early. If smart tech can help home security providers offer a low-cost option, home security will be more accessible to a much wider market. Smart tech has the potential to revolutionise the home security market. There’s no doubt about that. Not only does it make life easier by providing a system that fits with the demands of modern life and provide the user experience we expect but more importantly, smart home security has the potential to trigger a mass decrease in crime rates - keeping our homes safe and secure. The increased adoption of smart devices in homes across the UK will have a positive impact for professional installers as more people turn to smart systems to protect their homes 28 www.psimagazine.co.uk
