A common misconception when it comes to the design of smart homes is that beauty must be sacrificed in order to create functionality. At Insight Automation International we do not subscribe to this belief. In fact, we believe that many elements of smart home design, such as lighting design, not only enhance the beauty of a space, while also serving very functional purposes, such as security.

Smart Home Security – An Integrated Technology Approach

Motorized Window Treatments

Window treatments are a great example of a home automation technology that can be attractive while also serving a variety of purposes, including security. Motorized shades can be pre-programmed or remotely controlled to raise and lower as part of a mockupancy strategy. The movement of the shades will not only help with climate control in the home, but it will also provide the illusion of movement in the home, even if they are being operated from across the world. Motorized shades for windows and doors come in a variety of fabric selections, different colours, and integrate with the lighting and overall comfort of your home.

Lighting Design for Security

Indoor and outdoor lighting have the potential to reinvent a space depending on your needs. Lighting design is one of the most functional elements of a smart home, providing different lighting for different activities and events, but lighting is also one of the most beautiful elements you can add to a space. Using motion sensors, pre-programmed lighting scenes, remote lighting controls, the light design of your smart home can act as strong deterrent for intruders. Whether you are at home with your family and need to be altered to activity on your property, or you are out of town and need peace of mind, your lighting design can actively protect your home.

Automatic Gates and Intercoms

A gate is first and foremost a functional tool for securing your property and deterring intruders, but they can also be beautiful, inviting, and helpful! As part of an integrated smart home security system, an automatic gate with an intercom can be a very effective tool. By limiting access to the property, controlling who comes and goes, communicating through an intercom, and monitoring access from a distance, the gate will keep your family safe from intruders.
