Smart or "cloud-connected" security systems enable the controlling and monitoring of security systems anytime, anywhere through internet connected devices such as smartphone apps or internet browsers.
Providing installers, end users, alarm receiving centres and third-party communication companies with more flexibility and information than ever before.
The adoption of connected technology is rising quickly as consumers seek greater levels of control, convenience and comfort. Due to this, the global sensor and device market for home security and automation is expected to grow to $4 billion by 2021 (ABI Research).
Much of the growth is linked to the adoption of "smart" homes, projected to cover 91 million residences across Europe and North America by 2020 (Smart Homes and Home Automation).
Security systems are a vital part of the smart homes trend with IP-enabled surveillance cameras, sensors, panels, and cloud management allowing home owners to remotely manage their systems and receive alerts through push notifications. The rise of IP-enabled security systems does bring with it a number of challenges for installers, including perceived technical difficulties, the encroachment of IT companies, the rising popularity of DIY solutions, lack of training and cybersecurity risks.
Intruder and surveillance systems, like other smart home technologies, are vulnerable to the growing threat of hacking. The prpl Foundation found that smart homes are "woefully" insecure to cyber-attacks and many intruder and surveillance systems simply aren't designed for the increasingly sophisticated attacks that hit cloud-based systems.
Installers have increased control, flexibility and geographic reach - for example installers based in Birmingham could easily manage systems across the country.
