FREQUENTLY ASKED SMART HOME SETUP QUESTIONS
Imagine a delivery arrives but you are not home to accept the delivery. Remotely unlocking a parcel drop off area, which can be monitored from your device, enables you to receive the delivery to a location that can be secured for when you return home.
There are three types of automation – Entry, Professional and Premier Levels. See descriptions below for an outline of automation types. The opportunities to automate and integrate devices and services are plentiful, and we at eQ Technologies are committed to tailoring a customised solution to meet your needs. At eQ Technologies our customer focussed approach delivers quality, easy to use, and intuitive products for our clients.
Examples of a premier application would be number plate recognition to unlock your garage with options for multi-factor authentication (e.g. biometric facial recognition), or voice recognition to unlock your home. Your security system can be adapted to recognise ‘duress’ words. When activated, the system can send a silent alarm to your monitoring service to notify emergency services. Other examples of a customisable solution is the use of geo-fencing services, so that when you are close to home, the system can be activated to start heating or cooling your home and turn on your driveway lights.
