Your home's second layer of security

Securing your home's entry points

The foundation of any robust security setup starts at the perimeter.

While cameras watch the outside, smart window and door sensors act as an immediate, invisible tripwire for a property.

By utilizing highly reliable, sleek, and affordable options from leading brands like IKEA (VALLHORN / PARASOLL), a home can be retrofitted with sensors that track every entry point without impacting interior styling.

Instant mobile notifications

Getting live security updates

Traditional alarm systems are often seen by homeowners as a hassle - having to arm/disarm each time they leave the house. This gives literal windows of opportunity for burglars to enter your property unimpeded.

Smart contact sensors are designed to provide immediatenotifications to your smartphone or other device the second a boundary is breached.

They can also be coupled to occupancy sensors so you can open your windows on warm summer days without triggering an alarm.

If a window or door is opened while while you are away, a high-priority alert is sent directly to you within milliseconds, detailing exactly which room has been breached.

Automated siren triggering

Triggering the alerts

As mentioned, your window and door sensors can be linked directly to an audible smart alarm, or in cerrtain cases, an existing home alarm.

Any attempt at forced entry will automatically sound a loud siren to startle the intruder and alert neighbours, while simultaneously pushing video feeds from external cameras to the phone app.

If you have a modern burglar alarm, or other smart alarms, you can trigger those systems' sirens with the use of a smart home hub, which vastly extends the capabilities of your existing alerting systems.

The evening lock-up routine

One of the most common security lapses is simply forgetting to close a window after a warm day, or leaving a door unlatched. When sensors are tied to a central smart hub, the system handles the thinking automatically.

The smart hub can be programmed to run a silent check at a specific time every evening or exactly at sundown.

If the lounge window, utility door, or a side gate has been left open, the system will send a gentle reminder to the phone: "The kitchen window is still open."

Garage door sensors/timers

Protecting against absent-mindedness

It is easy to drive away from the house or go to bed and accidentally leave the garage door wide open, exposing your bikes, tools, kids' toys and vehicles to potential opportunist thieves.

We can configure sensors - with the aid of a smart home hub - with custom timers: if the garage door remains open for more than 5, 10, 15 minutes or whatever your desired time windows are, an automatic or audible reminder will be sent to your mobile device or voice assistant to remind you to close the door and secure your property.

Hidden benefits of smart contact sensors

Slashing Heating Bills

If a window is left wide open while the central heating is blasting, energy and money are wasted. Sensors can be linked directly to smart radiator thermostats (TRVs). If a bedroom window is opened to let in fresh air, the heating in that specific room turns off automatically, turning back on only when the window is securely shut.

Protecting Valuable Spaces

Sensors aren't just for exterior boundaries. They can be placed on internal doors, such as medicine cabinets, alcohol cupboards, or home offices containing sensitive paperwork, ensuring a notification is triggered if unauthorized hands try to open them.

Intelligent sensor scenarios

Placement	The Automation	The Daily Benefit
Front Door	Detects an arrival between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM.	Automatically triggers the hallway smart lights to turn on, ensuring a well-lit entrance.
Back Patio Door	Sensor is opened while the household is away.	Instantly triggers maximum security protocols: sound the siren, flash the outside lights, and record camera footage.
Garage / Shed	Left open for greater than 20 minutes.	Sends an escalating alert to the smartphone to ensure the property isn't forgotten.

Expert calibration and integration

For contact sensors to be effective, they must be perfectly aligned, securely mounted, and properly grouped into "Home", "Away", and "Night" modes within a smart hub.
