Talking about Safety and Security in the Field of Smart Home

With the development of society and economy, people are beginning to pursue personalized, automated, fast-paced, and fun-filled lifestyles. The demand for home quality is also increasing, requiring a safe and comfortable living environment, and a humanized home life. Intelligent.

Discussion on Security in the Field of Smart Home

Smart homes first emerged in foreign countries and entered China with only a dozen years of history. After more than ten years of hard and long running, smart homes have begun to emerge in China and consumers have a certain degree of awareness.

As far as the development of the industry is concerned, companies that have taken the lead in the smart home market are mostly security practitioners and have their own industry limitations. Such as lighting control, security companies are good at weak electricity, generally use DC relays, single load is low, generally not more than 20 watts, lighting pressure is too large, limiting the scope of application. In the same link, European and American brands use AC contactors, and the single load can be as low as 1,000 watts.

On the Other hand, the use of intrusion detectors in the security industry means that the identification of intrusions is the main appeal in terms of security functions. Applying directly to smart homes can not meet the demand. Smart homes emphasize the presence of perceptions. In addition to guarding against intrusions, there are feedbacks on the user's presence or exit and whether someone is inside or outside the room. In this regard, the detector needs to have functions such as inching, presence judgment, and the like other than intrusion detection. At present, there are only a few companies that have mastered detection technology in China.

Different from European and American home users' self-assembly and self-maintenance habits, at present, China's smart home market is mainly for high-end residential, users are more concerned about the use of results, traditional security services, long response cycle, the system of human intervention, have greatly reduced the product Reputation, smart home companies must invest a lot of manpower and resources to integrate resources, optimize the design, installation and maintenance links.

After many years of development, the security industry has formed a large-scale market environment, and low-quality products also have a considerable market. For well-known reasons, the market does require a lot of low-quality and low-quality products. A large number of market demands further reduce the cost of inferior products, and more competition will further exacerbate the quality-for-cost level. Moreover, unlike general consumer products, electronic products are difficult to judge from the appearance of the product. Many low-quality products have novel casings and bright circuit boards. They have no problem looking at them. However, the most important component quality is the cost, and it is difficult for users to judge by their appearance. In this regard, practitioners are also naturally aware that bad warranty and good attitude. The problem lies in the period of warranty, some products, the so-called warranty period is also the life of the equipment, warranty repair repair can still be used, over protection on the face of a large number of equipment failures, equipment stability is low, repair is not repair is not. Many users must use security equipment, buy a bad one, repair it badly, buy it again, and repeat the vicious circle. In the security industry, this kind of frustration does exist.

The smart home market is another situation where security and inferior products are not suitable. First of all, from the output point of view, the current smart home market does not have such a large volume of security market, can not effectively dilute the cost, the so-called low-cost strategy has no obvious advantage. Second, unlike the relatively simple and mature structure of security, the smart home market and the presence of foreign competitors have pushed up the technical threshold, and the inferior products cannot meet the functional requirements of the equipment. Again, currently smart home users are dominated by high-end individual users, and their appeal is strong. The pattern of repairing with bad can't satisfy the requirements of such users. In recent years, the pace of the smart home market has slowed down. More and more smart home companies have taken notice of these problems and devoted more energy to optimizing systems and improving equipment.

Smart home should be people-oriented

In short, regardless of the technology, people-oriented is the key. As smart homes are closely linked with the lives of people in smart cities, they naturally want to be humanized. To think of people and think of anything, not only do they have to think ahead, but they can also do the same.

As a new type of strategic industry, the smart home industry is currently in the Warring States period. The domestic and foreign companies have just entered the industry. It can be said that both at home and abroad are actually in the same starting line.

For example, residents of the home have unexpected visitors. Through the connection between smart home and urban smart security, in addition to the user's own real-time alarm information, community property security or nearby police stations will also receive an alarm signal, if it is with a smart camera.

The monitoring video for criminals will be sent directly to the monitoring center through the cloud. The monitoring center staff can use the smart camera of the home and the outside camera to track the whereabouts of the criminals in real time, providing the capture personnel with more accurate and reliable clues. .

These are just the basic functions of smart homes and smart cities. Through the cloud platform, users can interact with home and city life anytime, anywhere. After all, wireless internet is everywhere, and Nanjing is planning to be before 2015. Achieve full coverage of 4G networks.

Then, users can become the real masters in life through cloud-connected smart homes. Smart terminals such as mobile phones, tablet PCs and PCs will provide users with social, security, comfort, health and other aspects in accordance with their actual needs. The service will greatly reduce the burden on residents living in the city and experiencing the pressure of life all the time.

With the deepening of smart cities, through the smart home cloud platform, users will be able to enjoy services such as smart medical care, smart transportation, smart campuses, and smart travel, and will make their voices heard for more public service projects, in addition to passive acceptance. , can also take the initiative to participate in the decision-making of government departments.

As an emerging industry in the Internet of Things era, smart homes can provide families with a full range of information exchange capabilities, helping families communicate with external information and optimizing their lifestyles. Just think, if every family and every community has a smart home, people living in the city can truly feel the convenience and charm brought by smart cities.
