Safety at Home with Smart Technology

1. Fire is a constant risk at home with faulty appliances, unguarded open fires and kitchen accidents. Smoke alarms are a necessity in all homes but run into disuse if they go off when just a piece of toast burns. Smartsmoke alarms know the difference between burnt toast and a burning sofa. They use a laser light to analyse the spectrum of emitted vapours and give a quick fire alert. Some smart smoke detectors can register burning insulation before any large amount of smoke is emitted.

2. Smart burglar alarm systems trigger lights and sounds when an intruder steps on or near a sensor along windows, doors or gardens. The alarm can be monitored from a smart phone.
