It’s no secret that homeowners are relying on smart technology more than ever before in an attempt to improve efficiency. Just last year alone, 80 million smart home devices were shipped worldwide. However, the internet of things (IoT) is enabling our households to not only become smarter and more savvy, but safer and more secure too.

Smart security and IoT

Door Controls Direct believes that smart security and the IoT will transform, shape and enhance our homes - including increasing security and safety levels. This National Home Security Month, Door Controls Direct has created the interactive graphic below to reveal the smart devices we can expect to have as common features in homes over the coming years. What will you see in yours?

Advanced home security

The IoT is advancing home security through an extensive range of devices and apps; and as a result we no longer need to rely on grainy CCTV footage and ‘beware of the dog’ signs to deter thieves, we can go as far as streaming high quality real time footage of our homes directly to our smartphones.

From Smart Home Assistants to Robodogs and Smart Locks, we can expect our homes to be safer and more secure than ever before thanks to smart home security devices. Take a look at the interactive graphic below to see the security devices you should be adding to your home to improve safety and security.
