The importance of smart technology elements for the security of your home
The age of technology is also the age of smart home. Thanks to the integration of smart technology elements in homes, they have become increasingly comfortable, organised and safe.
The Real de La Quinta homes come equipped with highly advanced home automation, allowing owners to monitor and control lighting, blinds, air conditioning, technical alarms, water shut-off valves, smoke detector, flood detector... through a touch device, with the possibility of being able to use an App on Smartphones to manage the home from anywhere, even if you are outside the country.
Benefits of a smart home technology: safer homes
Smart home technology elements are all those devices that allow the day-to-day running of a home to be managed in a simpler, more convenient and efficient way. Smart homes are not only more functional spaces, but also contribute to a more sustainable and ecological use of resources.
Among all the conveniences that home automation management entails, one aspect is particularly relevant: security. Thanks to smart technology, homes can benefit from an extra level of protection that manifests itself in various ways:
- Access protection
Protection mechanisms such as video surveillance cameras, motion sensors and smart locks make it possible to control access to the home remotely and protect it more efficiently. These mechanisms can be interconnected to improve their performance and offer greater guarantees of protection.
- Networks and passwords
The smart elements of a home are integrated into a network that allows them to be managed through the use of multi-factor authentication or passwords. These function as a barrier to intrusion, preventing unwanted users from accessing sensitive information such as personal data, bank accounts or credit cards.
- Artificial intelligence
Predictive systems driven by machine learning can analyse common household behaviours, identify suspicious situations and warn of potential anomalies using notifications. This enables faster action in an emergency (e.g. if a fire breaks out).
- Information always at hand
Most of the actions of a home's smart technology elements can be controlled from a phone or other mobile device. This applies not only to activating/deactivating alarms or locking/unlocking doors, but also to other aspects within the home that can also compromise its security, such as controlling the temperature in boilers and heating systems, identifying possible leaks in the home's installations or controlling irrigation and other water systems to prevent flooding.
