Security and automation for smart homes are popular topics for everyone. Consumers now have the ability to automate and build the lives they desire - but privacy concerns are growing. So, what is noise, and what is the future of technology? We're here to discuss what's coming up in the world of home security and automation in 2021 and beyond.

AI Enhances the Intelligence of Smart Homes

According to Houzz's 2020 Renovation Trends in the United States, homeowners spend roughly $500 on smart home and security technology, with an emphasis on outdoor security, voice assistants, video doorbells, and smart lights. This year, you'll have additional options for smart locks and security cameras from well-known brands like ADT, Bosch, and Honeywell.

According to Industry Research Future, the home security market will be worth more than $44,806.5 million by 2023. Artificial intelligence is being used in some of the latest technologies to learn about your everyday activities. According to Forbes, smart home devices will utilize machine learning and advanced technology to perform daily activities such as ordering groceries and creating to-do lists based on your behaviors. The newest Buoy Whole Home Water Controller detects water leaks, shuts off water flow, and makes water usage recommendations for your household.

Wi-Fi Enhances Performance and Security

If you want to invest in smart home technology this year, you'll need a faster network to maximize the performance of your devices. Wi-Fi 6 is this year's next-generation Wi-Fi standard, with a maximum speed of nine connected devices – up from the average of five supported by today's Wi-Fi rates.

Additionally, it can increase the battery life and security of your device by utilizing the WAP3 protocol. However, Wi-Fi is not compatible with your previous laptop or iPhone 6. You'll need to purchase new gadgets that support the new Wi-Fi standard. However, the Internet as we know it will continue to exist for some time. Our smartphones and certain other mobile gadgets will continue to require 5G connectivity.

Data Security Is Our Number One Priority

Regrettably, hackers will continue to target devices and login credentials in order to steal data. They'll employ ransomware and phishing attacks to dupe consumers into disclosing personally identifiable information. Over 3,000 Ring camera customers' personal information was compromised last year. Additionally, some families experienced the nightmare of hackers penetrating their homes and secretly managing their cameras.

Customers will continue to demand home security systems that prioritize privacy. New privacy and security capabilities will continue to evolve, including cloud storage for video cameras and encrypted networks for securely managing the data in your security system to avoid hacking and data breaches.

Robots Assist Us in Our Smart Home

Homeowners are quite likely to begin replacing their voice assistants with robots in the near future. Rather than receiving commands from Amazon Alexa, today's robots are designed to collaborate with you and understand your routines using machine learning.

We'll rely on robots for far more than floor vacuuming. At CES 2021, a large rollout of robots incorporated smart home networking, artificial intelligence, and cameras to capture live in-home behavior. Some modern robots, such as Julia, are designed to assist you in the kitchen by cutting, mixing, and weighing. Bots will continue to evolve over the next decade to assist with mass manufacturing in warehouses and to operate similarly to our beloved furry friend, but with far less responsibility.

Additional Home Security Trends from the Industry Leaders

The history of do-it-yourself home security. ADT and other household names are entering the DIY home security market with low-cost, no-contract security devices to compete with DIY security providers such as Ring, Frontpoint, and Nest.

Blue by ADT is introducing next-generation smart security cameras with advanced capabilities such as facial recognition, bespoke motion zones, and smartphone control. Additionally, each camera has 24 hours of free cloud storage to safeguard your data from thieves.

This year, Kwikset, Lockly, and August are just a few of the companies offering smart locks. The Kwikset Halo Touch unlocks the door with your finger and connects to your preferred voice assistants, allowing you to control your lock hands-free. Other locks operate by the use of digital key fobs, codes, or your smartphone.

All-in-one security for your home. The first significant step toward next-generation smart home security will be the release later this year of the Lockly Vision smart lock with a built-in video doorbell. Additionally, Abode offers a new Outdoor and Indoor camera that can be positioned conveniently throughout the property. Additionally, it can be used as a video doorbell. Customers get the most value for their money when they purchase gadgets that combine their preferred devices.

The trends in home security and automation will continue to evolve. Bear in mind that you must select the appropriate equipment and services for your family. Maintain an eye out for new software upgrades and recalls to assist in protecting your house and data. Give the new trending technology a try and share your likes with us.
