In today's world when both men and women are
contributing equal to the workforce and economy, the houses are often left
unattended. This raises the issue of security around the house.
Old
School Security System
Traditionally people used to safeguard their
homes with the help of old school lock and keys. There wasn't much to it, aa it
was really easy to get the duplicate keys or use a master key or even break the
lock through a forceful physical assault. Even movies that were the popular
media at the time 3depicted how easy it was for burglars to pick the locks by
inserting a deformed hair pin in the lock and giving it a few twists and turns
before the lock gave in and granted access to door it was entrusted to secure.
Any house with a lock hanging onto its door
gave away the factual desertion of house. This acted as an open
invitation for thieves and burglars as these locks are easy to pick or break
through force. This generated a demand and creation of the locks which were a
little more modern and sleek. They were installed in the door and did not give
away the desertion of house immediately to the onlookers.However these locks
were not immune to that replication of keys, use of a master key or physically
violating them with the help of any tools as simple as crowbars and credit
cards. They had a fashionable term for it “jimming the lock” probably coined by
the movies of those times.

How Smart
Locks secure our house?

or biometric identifications are harder to steel. Unless you write down the
pincodes on a paper or a mobile device and it lands in the wrong hands, it is
very hard to steal a pin code. It will practically take a James Bond level
intruder to steal your biometric identification. Most burglars just do not have
the capacity or skill set to perform such a stunt.
Different
keys for different users
You can create several different keys for
multiple users and give limited time access to them. Now you can let your dog
walker and house help in, in your absence and not worry about them using the
key in hours they are not suppose to be at your homes. This also helps create a
curfue fo your teenagers who might try to sneak in and out of house in the
hours they are not allowed to.

even when you are not at home for several days. You can also create or delete
the access codes if needed without being in physical proximity of the lock.

to let in a neighbour for emergency reasons like gas leakage in your absence,
but you do not wish to give them a permanent access to your home? No worries,
