Smart Home a Necessity in Today’s Era

Most of us have not seen a completely smart home in our lives. One may wonder that if our parents did not need it then why should we? The reason is pretty simple. Times have changed and we do not have the same lifestyle which the previous generations did. We live in nuclear families and travel much more. Hence we need to automate some tasks and need to use technology for security and monitoring when no one is around.

Today, we are expected to travel for work and it has supposedly become easier to travel around the world as compared to few decades ago. This might be true physically but can be very stressful mentally especially if you are a parent. Male or female, all parents do worry about their kids and other family members while they are away. Busy schedules and time zone differences do not always let you connect with them via phone or even instant messaging. Luckily, a good home automation system can help you keep in touch and assure safety while you are away.

Security cameras can be installed in your house, especially in your children’s bedroom and the video can be viewed through your mobile phone wherever you are. Whether your kids are sleeping, studying or playing, you can keep an eye on them through your mobile phone. When the kids know it, they also follow your instructions properly. A number of options are available for live streaming, saving videos at particular times and sending to your phone or laptop and watching highlights etc. This system detects motion in front of the camera and saves the video at that time. Hence, you can stay away from home and still not miss all the action.

There is also an option to send regular alerts to your phone as and when certain event happen. For example your spouse reached home or left for work, kids came back from school or went out to play. You can also make sure that your domestic help actually came to clean the house as promised and send a message otherwise. You can also get alerts if any of the doors are left unlocked and lock them remotely. Similarly, you can take better care of the elderly and they do not have to walk around to check on the kids or the locks at night. They can check it all whether they are sitting the garden, balcony or their bedroom.


A home automation system can give you a better control over your home even while you are away. Most of the equipment today uses wireless technology and hence are hassle free. It is not just the western countries that are using home automation, India also has a huge demand for the same.  If you hire a professional firm to automate your home, it will make your life easier as they will handle the installation and maintenance. You can get used to being assured of the security and whereabouts of your family members.
