What Exactly is a “Smart” Home or Smart Office Product?

Welcome back to another informative article brought to you by ESI, Emergency Systems Inc. Since 1979 we have provided security alarm solutions for homes, offices and businesses alike. Today, modern technology now allows us to tackle any security issue with high tech security alarm products that can effectively shield your home, business or office. The question on most minds these days is what is meant by a “Smart Home Solution” or what is a “Smart Office Environment”.

If you are truly interested in what makes a dwelling an advanced intelligent home or curious about advanced smart office technology, read on. The textbook answer to this question is that a Smart Security Environment is one that can be remotely controlled by a smart phone or computer or enabled at the source. Access can be set up so that only authorized personnel can control the heating, lighting, security alarms etc. and any other chosen electronic device that is brought within its sphere. The word “Smart” is nothing more than the easy accessibility to remotely set/program or control the system using a component i.e. computer, tablet or cellular device.

Really any brick-and-mortar structure equipped with an electronic security system that has additional interactive elements such as heating and lighting interfaced, becomes part of the “Smart” function. These remotely controlled environments are also scalable so that security for instance can be turned on and off separately or have full access to all of the other electronic components that are interfaced within the security shield.

Below is a list of the electronic devices which can be remotely controlled if configured within your Smart Home or Smart Office security shield apparatus:

• Fire Alarms
• Burglar Alarms
• Security Systems
• Access Control or Keyless Entry Devices
• Doorbells and Cameras
• Thermostats for Controlling Heating and Air Conditioning
• Water Intrusion Systems
• Security Cameras and CCTV’s
• Computers
• Televisions
• Stereos
• Refrigerators
• Water Heaters
• Wells and Pumps
• Sprinkler Systems
• Irrigation Systems
• Blinds or Electronic Shades
• Lighting Fixtures
• Electronic Outlets
• Leak Detection Systems
• Electronic Gate Devices
• Parking Lot Gates
• Elevators
• Electronic Displays

Roughly anything electronic can be controlled by a Smart Security Alarm System. You can even remotely access data such as entry and exit details of an access control device. Smart Home or Smart Office technology automates your electronic functions of these and many other products. Having real-time access to these products and services is a real advantage. Also being able to remotely program your lights for instance to turn on and off can help light up your home or office when you need it the most. Being able to control your thermostat obviously allows you to control temperatures at any time of the day or night in any kind of weather. You can also give permissions to key personnel, enable vendor access to your office and be able to record the comings and goings of those limited permissions granted to individuals. These are all elements of a Smart control feature.
