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.
Introduction
of Smart Locks
As more
and more women join the workforce, a need was felt for better security of homes
abandoned during the working hours. Industrialist try to profit by meeting the
demands of public and providing them what they need. With the amazing
advancement in technology when everything from wrist watches to cell phones,
home appliances and bank accounts everything getting connected through the
internet it only made sense that your security system should also be upgraded
to to match with the modern technology. Industrialist step up to deliver the
technology of security through encrypted keys which was so popular in the James
Bond movies at that time. This made the availability of smart locks in the
market for the common man possible as previously this technology was accessible
only to the army and secret forces.
How Smart
Locks secure our house?
Smart locks are made of a tiny system which is
capable of identifying encrypted codes, and grant or deny access after matching
input with the stored authorized access codes. These systems are connected to
smartphone mobile apps through either bluetooth wifi which enables the system
to send alerts to mobile phone and allows the users to control the locks
remotely.
Why
Smart Locks are Better?
If you
are someone who believes in investing in technology for the sake of
convenience, peace of mind and a better life you should surely consider getting
smart locks installed in your house. Smart locks offer you a variety of
features that can dramatically improve the security of your home and relieve
the stress related to intrusion of your private property.
No More
keys
Forgetting or losing your set of keys or
fumbling through your back to find your keys can be a real stress especially
during the rush hours ers when you are trying to leave the house as soon as
possible so you do not get late for your office. Which smart locks installed
you do not have to carry a key on you to access your house. Instead you can
just memorize a pin code or use a biometric identification massager to enjoy
keyless convenience.
Piration
of Key is out of way
The encrypted keys either in form of pin codes
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.
Remote
monitoring and access
Since the lock is directly connected to the
app installed on your mobile you can monitor who came in to house at what time
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.
This feature brings greater ease for the frequent travelers and parents. Need
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,
just give them a new code and delete letter when they are done inspecting the
house. Also you do not need to change the locks every time a tenant moves out,
simply change the access codes.
Back up
batteries
Smart locks with backup batteries ensure that
your house is secured and you are not locked out of your own home, even if the
entire town faces a black out. If an intruder attempts to incapacitate your
security by cutting out the power supply to your house, backup batteries of
smart locks keep your security intact.
