A real buzz word that is floating around now is the smart home. While we all have a general idea that this revolves around technology that focuses on convenience what does it have to do with security, and who really are the leaders in the evolution of the smart home?

There are some crossovers between security and the smart home, and this a segment of security that is really beginning to grow. What is important to keep in mind is that while the true smart home technology is based on convenience security is based on providing protection to your home and family on various different levels. You want security measures in place to provide protection from unwanted entries, against perils like fire and flood, and life security for the disabled. These are not considered conveniences.

When looking at the importance of security it should also mean looking at the right experts to make sure that you have the right security protection in place. These experts put the emphasis on keeping your safe. Now while you may be able to get many security add ons through the providers of smart home technology it has to be realized that their focus is on your convenience and not your protection. These are two major differences and while the two can be combined the smart home owner will rely on the two separate areas of professionals who are able to meet these needs.

When you are looking at the smart home rulers the platform for this is beginning to change. Samsung is now adding to its realm of entertainment smart home offerings. They have indicated this with their purchase of a company called Smart Things. Their mandate is to entice homeowners to make sure everything in their own is there for the makings of a smart home. They do this through the selling of compatible products. Then there is the Apple Home Kit compatibility offerings that can link devices in your home so it can be transformed into a smart home. As this trend of smart homes progresses you are definitely going to see more big brands jumping on the product wagon.

When it comes to your security and counting on professionals whose main focus is on the protection of businesses and homes then you need a company like Pre-lock. This is a company that doesn’t turn its back on smart technology but will definitely offer it through its product offerings only if it is going to enhance the security of the home and is not just purely based on convenience. A good example of this is their offering of the dbell wi-fi Smart Video Home Doorbell Security Intercom. You have the convenience of knowing and answering who is at your door no matter where you are but the focus here is on security.
