Smart Home Security

South Africa is shifting to the latest in security technology, allowing you to take control of the security in and surrounding your home using a smart device.

There is a vast array of different companies and services to pick from in Cape Town, including Fidelity ADT, D-One, Smart Spaces, Simple Tech and Touch Technologies to name a few.

Fidelity ADT’s ‘SecureConnect’, turns your house into a full-on smart home, offering not only a range of security features but also the ability to turn off other devices such as a pool-pumps, security lights and even your coffee machine.

According to Fidelity ADT managing executive, Stuart Clarkson, “A customer may just want to start by being able to remotely view what’s happening at home, or arming and disarming their alarm, but later they can include additional features like switching on and off devices and viewing their cameras. These features not only provide convenience but also further enhance home security, because it creates the appearance that someone is home and also allows our customer to safely be notified when there is a problem. They can then see for themselves what that problem is.”

Touch Technologies allows you to remotely view live security camera footage inside and outside your home, arm or disarm your security system and even receive immediate emergency assistance directly from an intuitive user interface on a touchscreen, TV or mobile device.

Their Mockupancy™ option will alternate lights and shades, and even televisions, in a random fashion so that your home simulates your family’s activities to make it appear occupied while you're away, providing additional security and added peace of mind.

D-One also puts home security at your fingertips, wherever you are, from your mobile device. Take a look at how their innovative system works:

Going smart is definitely the future of home security. Keep you and your loved ones safe, and consider switching today.
