Smart Home Security System

The popularity of smart home products is increasing due to affordability and simplicity. In the past, home automation was limited to those with multi-million dollar budgets. It required complex installation and heavy technical knowledge to integrate and then manage multiple electronic devices.

Smart home ideas that were previously challenging and expensive are now affordable and user friendly. Take home security for example, 5 years ago a multi-camera smart home security system could cost anywhere from $1000-$100,000! An old system would require the home owner to constantly enter a pin number into a panel, dial into a phone line, or even scan their finger prints and eyes!

Smart home security is much more accessible in 2015. There are many Do-It-Yourself smart security camera systems on the market – many of which can be controlled easily via your smart phone or tablet. These home security solutions offer many features which were previously unavailable on older systems such as:

Live video monitoring from your phone or tablet
Record footage to SD card, external hard drive and the cloud
Receive instant alerts should your system detect unusual activity
Automatic arming and disarming based on your location
Two way audio communication
And more

Advances in smart home technology

Keep in mind that home automation isn’t just about security. The other core areas that comprise a smart home are heating, lighting, entertainment, and productivity and efficiency. As we enter the ‘Internet of Things’ age, your home will gradually become a connected network of various devices that you can control from a smartphone or tablet.

Heating

Your heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems can now all be controlled from simple to use devices. Examples include controlling the temperature of your home via a smart thermostat. Some solutions can even automatically open and close windows to cool or heat your house in order to save energy.

Lighting

A modern smart home will have full control over its lights for convenience and cost reduction. Picture the lights in your home turning on automatically based on which room you are in.

Entertainment

Television systems and gaming consoles are fast becoming central interaction points in the home. The home television may also become more of a data processing computer which will control other functions of the smart home. We can already see examples of this technology pushing us into the future:

Chromecast
Android TV
Apple TV
Roku
Amazon Fire
And more…

Productivity and efficiency

Smart appliances learn your routine and make you more efficient at home. Imagine your coffee machine automatically starting a fresh brew when your alarm goes off in the morning. Your fridge may eventually become an online supermarket – simply input your grocery shopping list to have it packaged and ready to pick up in store or delivered to your door.

How CleverLoop’s smart security camera system got so smart

The CleverLoop team looked at the security component of the smart home and knew it could be improved. Old technology struggled to send video alerts, and the ones that did frequently sent false alarms. To create a solution to these problems CleverLoop assembled a team of specialists that included video recognition software programmers and analysts.

The outcome was a smart home security system that learns what’s normal and what’s suspicious. On top of this, we decided the ideal smart home security system looks after the entire home, indoors and out. So here’s what we did:

CleverLoop is engineered and designed to support up to 3 HD indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi cameras.
Local storage and analysis, combined with Geofencing, make CleverLoop more private and secure than the majority of security systems on the market.
We combine all of this in a simple to set up, easy to use system.

Intelligent security for your home

CleverLoop uses two sophisticated learning algorithms to separate important and unimportant activity. The first is an indoor algorithm which is more sensitive to an indoor environment. The second is an outdoor algorithm which is designed to ignore things such as trees blowing in the wind or cars moving in the distance. What this means for the user is less false alarms and more accurate protection!
