Home security systems have become essential all year round, but especially during holiday periods when ordinary residences are left vacant for weeks. In this scenario, the company Somfy Offers solutions to prevent robberies and break-ins. They are based on passive security, which prevents theft from occurring with predictive actions and provides an advanced security system called Home Alarm Advanced,
It is a reliable and evolved wireless set that has the advantage of flexibility, i.e. it allows you to add sensors and detectors where needed. With real-time notifications on your mobile phone (Somfy app) you can check the status of the system and in the event of a power outage or intrusion, it issues notifications via email and SMS.
System Features
Home Alarm Advanced is designed for security in any situation. Its main point is resistance to intruders due to the patented IntelliTAG technology (detection of intrusion before it occurs) and possible automatic control of other home automation products (light blinds).
It is easily installed and controlled from your smartphone, even if you do not have an internet connection (GSM module included). In the event of a power cut, it has an autonomy of 14 days that allows it to remain operational, and in the event of an internet failure, it provides free access to the backup GSM network. If an intruder tries to disable the system the user will be immediately notified of any attempt to open the system, boot up and detect radio interference.
It is also worth mentioning that it detects robbery attempts and alerts before intrusion using the IntelliTAG door and window sensor. This sensor analyzes vibrations, marking the difference between a normal event (wind, knock on the door) and a real burglary attempt (crowbar, drill…). When detected, sirens are activated (indoor 110dB/outdoor 112dB) and an alert is sent to the smartphone (notification, SMS and email)
Tools in use
The alarm is designed for home use and for the whole family. Activation and deactivation is done using a key fob, an internal keyboard or the Somfy Protect app.
Thanks to the personal key fob, the system reminds users to activate home security when they leave home and automatically deactivates when they return. When young children return home, parents receive an alert on their smartphone. Finally, activating or deactivating the alarm can be combined with closing or opening the curtains.
