Smart monitoring technology to residential areas

The smart house is one of the priority directions of development of the Internet of things (IoT), which involved a huge number of companies starting to actively offer solutions for the control and monitoring environment.

Smart home integrates the management of all housing in a single interface, whether tablet, touch panel or computer that will replace the remote control for the TV, stereo and other devices. For example, leaving the apartment you press the switch with the function "Disable all", and no longer worry about did you remember to pull the plug iron.
 



However, the most useful feature is the smart home monitoring system. Even while at work, on the road or on vacation, you can easily manage your housing and everything happening in it. It should be noted that such systems are used for human security, and to ensure its comfort.

Take, for example, air conditioning systems, heating and ventilation. The cost of heating and cooling of apartments every year becoming more noticeable, and there is no doubt that the device can help to save it, will soon occupy a niche in the market. For example, Nest is the brainchild of the company, bought by Google, the number of sales which have already exceeded one million, and ecobee3 and Honeywell.

Many of them are configured and managed remotely via smartphone, as well as keep records of the energy consumption, by studying that you can figure out how to save more. Moreover, such systems can heat different zones of the house, depending on where you spend most of the time.

In fact, the user has at his disposal the climate control when the air conditioning and heating system work as a whole. It is enough to set the desired temperature, and the complex independently decide what sequence of actions is to be initiated.





Solutions for personal safety can also be different: it and video surveillance of the surrounding territory, and control the integrity of the home, automated control of indoor access, automated lighting areas with the penetration, and so on.

Whole house systems will take care of your peace of mind and security, preventing unauthorized penetration in your area. Smart house will take control and emergency with engineering systems, for this, too, there are a number of technical solutions, for example automatic locking of the valves during a leakage of water and gas protection, short circuit in the electrical system, independent power supply, fire suppression system etc.

In the case of a leak of water or gas system not only registers this event and will beep, and automatically engages the locking valves, and shut off the electricity in a hazardous area.

At any time you can through the Internet to get a detailed report on the work of the security system and cameras, but if you want to intervene in the sequence of operations using SMS or the web interface.

In this regard, not to mention a powerful monitoring tool that offers company SmartThings. We are talking about a Home Monitoring Kit, which acts as the virtual eyes and ears and created specifically to help people to solve daily problems, without worrying about what is happening in the apartment.





This kit includes various sensors, locks, cameras and many other devices. For example, the door sensor can monitor a garage door, front door and Windows. Motion sensors continuously monitor a variety of movement in the apartment, and smart outlets reported the active appliances.

Alex Hawkinson (Alex Hawkinson), CEO of SmartThings, says that creating a Home Monitoring Kit, they wanted to make a powerful and complex solution which would be flexible and easily customizable.

It should be noted that monitoring systems are widely used in the hospitality industry. Intellectual complex "smart room", also allows for temperature control by automatically changing the mode of the air conditioning system and adjust the lighting, pushing and pushing the blinds in the apartment and driving lights.

Since we are talking about hotel rooms, it was clear that their service should be on top. A monitoring system of the rooms can determine the necessity of cleaning the room and notify the staff in those moments when convenient to the guest. Moreover, the client will also receive reports of similar procedures – it should definitely help to improve the safety and preserve the property of the occupant safe.

But monitoring systems manifest themselves in a much larger scale. Today modern buildings are filled with many different engineering systems. New residential projects typically combine not only accommodation, but also retail space, Parking spaces, etc. every day, the future tenants are placing greater demands on the quality of housing and level of community service. Therefore, developers and management companies are using increasingly complex and sophisticated engineering systems.

Here again are life support systems (climate control and electricity), security systems (video surveillance, access control system, fire alarm system, leakage monitoring), telecommunications, automation and control.

The last paragraph has now become an integral part of the housing sector. Dispatching the LCD allows you to not only link together all components of the engineering infrastructure, but also to respond quickly to emergency situations.

It is this feature that makes it intelligent. Automation connects all systems into a single self-managed complex. Dispatch allows real-time tracking of the processes and to proactively prevent accidents.

Data collection with individual and common house metering and sensors for monitoring parameters of utilities gives you the ability in real time to obtain information on resource usage in each individual apartment and whole houses, which simplifies the process of billing tenants.



Each dwelling requires its own approach, whether a city apartment, a cottage in a gated village, house in a forest. Very often, for various residential areas provide for individual scripts, activated in certain situations, for example, in the case of the departure of the household. Scenarios can take into account the time of day: for example, country site control will be active only at night.

Thanks to the integration of systems, elements of smart homes are not only means improved comfort, but also increase security. Association of traditional systems security systems smart home control significantly expands the range of functions, giving a feeling of calm and making the protection of users more efficient and reliable. published
