What is?
This networked system provides
you with instant control over other individual devices and appliances
throughout your home. You dictate how a device should react, when it should
react, and why it should react. You set the schedule and the rest is automated and
based off of your personal preferences thus providing convenience, control,
money savings, and an overall smarter home.
·
Convenience: Control and automate just about every device and appliance within
your home whether you are on location or far away in entirely different
country. Home automation works efficiently for you saving money on your
utilities and providing overall convenience.
·
Safety and Security: Always on guard and at the ready, home automation provides
security, safeguarding your home. From a security camera’s peering eye to a
water sensor that will alert you of a possible costly leak, an automated home
security system keeps your property under surveillance so you can react at a
moments notice.
·
Fun and Enjoyable: Home automation gets you involved. Set your personal preferences
and actions, then sit back and enjoy using the latest in home automation
technology. Though such technology is quite complex, it remains completely
flexible and user friendly making for a fun experience.

Uses?
Building owners, facilities
managers, and security professionals are constantly challenged to find security
solutions that are operationally and cost effective. All too often, however,
the solutions revolve around the use of electronic security technologies
without regard to an adequate understanding of organizational assets and the
threats, risks, and vulnerabilities that may impact them.
Certainly, electronic security
technologies – including secure network video, access control, revolving doors
and barrier turnstiles, emergency call stations, and others – are important
components of modern security programs; however, it’s essential to recognize
that these technologies don’t make a facility secure.
In fact, effective security is a
complex “system” requiring an appropriate balance of technologies that are
properly designed and installed, effectively managed and maintained, and
consistently operated in accordance with organizational requirements;
well-written, properly implemented policies, procedures, and processes;
training for an engaged facility staff; and professional program management.
Absent the proper balance of these elements, the “security system” can’t be
successful.
In a broader context, security
programming requires a multifaceted effort to be most effective. As illustrated
in the model on this page, each of the four core elements (security technology,
policies and practices, staff training and engagement, and program management)
interacts with every other element to create a flexible, resilient foundation.
This foundation, however, should be considered only the beginning.
Individuals responsible for security
program management must constantly be aware of changes in their organizational
assets along with the dynamic threat paradigm related to the assets. Initial
and ongoing assessments are essential. Other key activities include:
- The application of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) concepts and principles.
- The identification and, where appropriate, adoption of the best practices of like facilities.
- Effective stakeholder input and collaboration.
- The development of inter- and intra-organizational partnerships.
- Regulatory compliance (fire/security/lighting/other).
- IT collaboration and planning.
- Coordination with first responders.
- Integration with the facility’s technology/capital master plan.
- The application of information received from fusion centers, law enforcement, and other reliable sources.
