Security
.
Some home security elements such as an intruder alarm, panic alarm, smoke alarm, halogen security lighting etc would be regarded as the 'norm.' However, other features can be incorporated to enhance the level of security for the property such as, gas & water leak detection, digital CCTV local/remote monitoring via the Internet, alarm notification via SMS text messaging, voice messaging, email, security lighting etc. Once all of these elements are introduced as part of the overall smart home scheme, it ensures that the benefits of all related security elements can be utilised to their best affect by the home owner in a very simple fashion.
