What is IoT home security?
In home security, the IoT has made it possible to remotely manage security in and around homes. IoT-enabled home security systems detect intruders and alert homeowners via their smartphones.
The way an IoT-enabled home security system works is that sensors are placed in every room of the home. They collect data, such as movement, opening of doors, shattering of windows, and so on. Via an internet-connected hub, the homeowner or an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) is alerted if the data disclose that something is wrong.

Why use IoT technology in home security systems?
Through a smart security system, security providers can enable their customers to monitor and control their buildings anywhere at any time. They can check the status of the doors and windows, control access, and get an instant notification if something is out of the ordinary.
Smart security systems can be installed in any type of building, and wireless IoT devices greatly simplify the installation and maintenance of the home security system.
With IoT technology, it is possible to take security businesses to the next level and meet the needs of modern customers by combining smart home and security functionalities.
How to integrate the IoT into your home security business?
There are several ways to go about integrating the IoT into home security businesses.
One option is to build the IoT-enabled security system from scratch. This option often results in unnecessary time and capital spent on developing the devices as well as the application and the cloud solution.
Another option is to use a white label product platform. With the platform offered by Develco Products, you will get a market-ready and certified product platform, including a multiprotocol gateway and a range of security devices. The platform has been tested and validated in large volumes, guaranteeing you a mature and reliable system. Since the platform includes white label products, you will get your own branded solution.
Throughout the project, you will be provided with professional technical support from our engineers who are experts in IoT technology. In addition, you will benefit from the high level of quality, competencies, and capacity throughout our development processes and supply chain.
You can choose to develop the application yourself or we can partner with a trusted software provider for your end-to-end solution.
All in all, you will be able to quickly launch your own IoT home security system and future-proof your business.
