2018: Amazon запустила системы безопасности для дома



В конце апреля 2018 года Amazon начала предлагать собственные системы безопасности для дома. Пользователь может выбрать один из пяти пакетов, отличающихся набором услуг и оборудования.



Как пишет издание The Verge, самый дешевый вариант стоит $240 и по сути лишь создает иллюзию присутствия в доме людей. В комплект поставки входят лампы, загорающиеся при распознавании движения, а также "умное" домашнее освещение и беспроводная водонепроницаемая колонка.







В самую дорогую версию за $840 также входят дверной звонок с видеонаблюдением, который можно подключить к смартфону, сигнализация, датчики движения, протечки и затопления помещения, система Wink для централизованного управления элементами "умного" дома и другие устройства.



Во все системы безопасности, предлагаемые Amazon, входят акустическая система Amazon Echo Dot с голосовым управлением и возможность двукратного вызова специалиста Amazon: во время первого визита он спрашивает, что пользователь хочет установить в доме, а во втором — устанавливает и настраивает все оборудование.



Amazon приняла решение продавать услугу по охране дома за фиксированную плату, тогда как многие другие компании на рынке берут деньги за ежедневную подписку. Кроме того, система Amazon работает бессрочно или до тех пор, пока одно или несколько устройств не выйдет из строя.



Это не первый опыт работы Amazon на рынке технологий домашней безопасности. В 2017 году компания запустила сервис бесплатных консультаций при помощи голосового помощника Alexa и установки систем "умного" дома, вроде термостатов Ecobee и сетевых камер Arlo. Предполагается, что эти инициативы увеличат аудиторию пользователей других сервисов, вроде Amazon Key, который позволяет доставлять посылки прямо на порог дома в отсутствии хозяев. [1]

About Amazon Security



Even though Amazon offers these five packages, their home security experts will take a look at your home and customize a package that’s suitable for your particular situation by adding more cameras, upgrading to the Echo Show, etc. And since Amazon has recently purchased Ring. com, it’s likely their offerings will only get bigger and better.



The 100% wireless, professionally installed Amazon Security system doesn’t have any subscription requirements since they don’t offer any monitoring services; therefore, there are no monthly monitoring fees and on contracts of any kind. But they also don’t offer any trial periods or money-back guarantees either.



The Amazon Security system is one to watch. As you know, Amazon is always changing and adding new features and technologies to the way they do business. So we’ll have to wait and see what exciting things they do next! Check out the full review of Amazon’s home security here.

These are remotely accessible via the mobile app. And, some of the packages offer an optional cloud video backup memory card (sold separately).

PRO INSTALLATION


Amazon offers expert in-home consultations, installations, and configurations of all your equipment and devices. You will appreciate not having to navigate through pages of technical jargon just to get your system up and running.

DISASTER PROTECTION


With the Smartest Package, you will be able to monitor and control the air quality, track toxins and chemicals, CO2, humidity and temperature, and receive actionable tips to correct any problems.

How Safe Are Smart Door Locks?



Here are the pros and cons of using a smart lock and how they can help protect your home.



Home automation is using information and technology to remotely configure and connect devices, like home appliances and electrical systems, to perform intuitive and useful tasks. The automating of such tasks—like lighting, heating, and ventilation—can save time and money and allows you to personalize your home to your preferences.



Furthermore, each setting can be controlled and reviewed remotely from an app on your smartphone, whether you are at home or anywhere in the world.



Here are just a few benefits of turning your home into a smart home.




    Savings:Smart thermostats and smart lighting save energy and cut down your electric bill. Certain devices even offer rebates.




Safety: Automation can also help improve your home security. Automated lighting deters burglars, and motion sensors help people enter doors and walk hallways late at night. Security cameras notify you of package deliveries or unwanted visitors.



Convenience: Because smart homes can care of busywork for you, you'll have more time to spend on what you enjoy doing. Many smart gadgets communicate with one another, and you can set sequences with multiple devices to automate regular home processes. For instance, you could set your smart locks to turn on your smart lighting when you unlock the front door.


      Control: Smart home devices grant you unprecedented control over every aspect of the home. You'll always know what’s happening inside your home at all times.




    Peace of Mind: Finally, many consumers invest in smart home technology for peace of mind. Check on your children and pets when you're away to make sure they're safe. Verify whether you left the stove on, the garage door open, or the door unlocked.



Home automation does increase home value. New home buyers increasingly expect their home to have the latest appliances, up-to-date features, and premium-quality smart technology. If your house has some of the above, you can ask for a higher price. Consult with a real estate agent beforehand to ensure that the amount you're asking for is realistic.



A new study from Coldwell Banker offers insight into what smart home products increase property value. According to the report, voice control is one feature that consumers demand most of all. Not just Millennials either; parents, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers also want voice control, too. Adding home automation systems like Google Home or Amazon Echo will help attract buyers of any demographic.



To raise home value further, consider other options. Home entertainment systems, smart lighting options, and smart home security system elements as these are features home buyers look for the most.



Smart home automation works through linking a collection of remote devices (typically lighting, heat, ventilation and air conditioning, electronic appliances, and entrance points) to perform activities around the house without the need of human interaction.



Each electronic appliance or system in your home is linked together and can be controlled and monitored via an app on a smartphone. This is called wireless home automation using the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT describes a system that uses computers or mobile devices to automatically control selected home functions and features through the internet from anywhere.



In order for the system to work accurately, it does require internet connectivity, usually in the form of Wi-Fi or internet connection. There are alternatives to internet connectivity for smart home automation, though: Both wireless and wired systems can be set up.



Smart home technology and the connected devices don’t just connect to your phone, though—now, they are compatible with virtual assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home. The voice-controlled smart software can be used to set up and monitor a household and all connected appliances.



For example, you can manage your home’s temperature or locks by speaking your request aloud to an Amazon Echo, which will then connect to the device and perform the task for you.
