The smart home has access to all smart security gadgets which are highly enabled to get connected with your Wi-Fi network so that you can easily monitor and control your system security system through your smartphone or an app. Few entry-level systems include door, window sensors, motion detector, and a control panel or a hub that successfully communicate with these devices with the help of wireless protocols such as Wi-Fi, Z wave, Zig bee, or a mesh network.

Extra sensors for door motion and windows can provide entire coverage of your house and develops a comprehensive system. Components of comprehensive security system

About wireless protocols

We can access more info about home security components which are incorporating wireless standards for communication.

Small particles like doors or windows typically install Z-wave or Zigbee technology because they do not involve great power consumption and can be operated with the help of small batteries.

Z-wave and Zigbee devices are controlled with the help of a hub, where is the Wi-Fi devices are connected directly to your home network and controlled with the help of an app. To access smooth video streaming we need the bandwidth provided by Wi-Fi. Z wave and Zigbee devices implement AES 128 encryption to operate in a closed system to offer wider security than Wi-Fi devices.

With the help of customized rules, we can manipulate our security systems like we can create rules to have the lights on when any motion is detected, doors get unlocked when a smoke alarm goes off and the camera begins to record.

Cloud storage mechanism

The recordings done in the surveillance camera can be stored locally on an SD card or in a solid-state drive but as per the trendy technology cloud storage is offered proficiently.

Cloud storage provides easy access to store and preview recorded videos, but it is one of the costly approaches to install. Some systems do offer both options cloud storage as well as local storage that provides you DVR capabilities with time-lapse recording to have a complete record of the time when the event took place.

Using smartphones next time, it is suggested now you can use smartphones as the center to arm and disarm your security system, can create rules, can add, and delete components and receive push notifications when alarms are triggered on.

Most apps installed on your user on your friendly device allow you to view life and recorded videos, lock and unlock doors, can adjust your thermostat settings and even you can silence your alarms.

Costly systems usually provide a wall-mounted panel to act as a communication hub having a touch screen display to make you do everything. To communicate with a professional monitoring service the communication hub helps you extensively.
