Install Home Automation Solutions without hampering your savings

Automation was once found only in homes of the wealthy. It was a kind of status symbol. But today, with the solutions becoming more affordable, it is now available at low costs comparatively.

Home Automation is intended for safety, security, comfort and convenience. These things are a part of automation solutions and are beneficial for the users. The devices manufactured are used to monitor and control:

•          Lighting
•          Provide access to door locks
•          Manage energy saving
•          Detecting smoke, gas and motion
•          Securing from intruders
•          Watching over property and loved ones

An advantage is that all these functions can also be controlled through your computer, tablet or a smartphone. This enables you to be virtually present everywhere and keep a watch on everything. In case of any danger, you are intimidated via a message or a phone call which helps you to take necessary action regarding the same.

There are many benefits of automating your home. For example: you can begin with one room at a time and slowly proceed to the other ones. This can vary according to your budget. This is the flexibility that automation solutions provide.

If you are still apprehensive about your decision, you can watch the video or go through the manual and then decide for yourself which product would suit your lifestyle. Installing an automation solution would never be a disadvantage for you; instead it would be something that you would be proud about.

You may be of the thought that automation solutions contain high end products which may require professionals to install it. But with the help of videos, user manuals and DIYs, any layman can install it by oneself. The automation solutions add to the value of the house by making it technologically superior.

Celebrate New Year’s Eve with Automation Solutions

With the ringing in of the New Year, people are busy with their New Year resolutions. Many of them opt to lose weight, chase their dreams, do things they love, etc. But how about taking a resolution for a better living place? Sounds better, Isn’t it?

Automation provides safety, security and convenience. We have friends and relatives visiting us on the occasion of New Year. We always try to put our best foot forward. We think that while others visit us, our house should be represented in the best way. We try to redecorate our houses, prep up the furniture, paint the walls, improve the décor, etc. and even I am no exception to that. I always end up adding new things to the décor to improve the look of the house when someone’s visiting.

Once I had gone for a house warming party on New Year’s Eve. I thought it would be the usual one where we would go, have food, have fun, meet each other and come. But I was amazed by what greeted me. It’s always said that the first impression is the best impression. And it seemed true in this case. The moment I rang the bell of their flat, the door opened automatically. The temperature inside the room was apt for the function.

As I moved around her house, I was amazed. When I used to step in any of the rooms, the lights would turn ON/OFF automatically. This was just amazing….I didn’t need to reach the switch board to turn it ON/OFF. Not only the rooms but also the bathrooms and kitchens seemed to be working based on the movement it sensed.

I was asking myself how this was possible. It seemed like a magic show to me where I stood like an eager child waiting to explore the next thing. I was so inquisitive that I went to my friend and asked her what she did to her house. How come everything was working automatically? And I was curious to know the reason behind it.

She then explained me that it was nothing but Automation. With the help of automation solutions, you can give a complete makeover to your house. The home automation products are user friendly and affordable. I decided then and there that I will get my home redone with automation solutions. And the best thing is that the automation solutions are devoid of any external wiring in the house which is otherwise the greatest concern.

How IP Cameras can help curb suicides

As the same coin has two sides, many things around us have its own advantages and disadvantages. We are the ones who have to choose. Things are created for the progress of mankind but it is we who always see the negative part involved.

When things are used in the right manner, it strikes the right cord and is beneficial for us. Now-a-days when everything is becoming so unpredictable, it has become important to keep a tag on things all the time as you don’t know what the consequences might be.

Today’s generation is way smarter than the one before. They have exposure to social media, are Smartphone users and are equally reactive to situations around them. But amongst the lot there are also children who deny coming out of their comfort zone and interacting with others. It is difficult to predict these children. You never know when and what they might be thinking.

A recent case that I came through is of a student studying in Class VII. He was an average and a shy student who never interacted much with other children. Not even to his close aides. Once after the examinations, their results were out and this boy came to know that he had flunked in a particular subject. He kept mum as usual. And expecting this to be his normal behavior, nobody enquired anything with him.

Both his parents were working so he used to be alone at home. As per routine, he came home that day, changed his clothes and freshened up a bit. God knows what was going on in his mind when after a while he gulped down a bottle of pills that were lying on the dressing table. He felt unconscious and fell on the ground.

Fortunately, they had an IP Camera installed which his parents used to check at regular intervals as he used to stay alone. When they checked the camera they were shocked at the particular scene and rushed immediately to their residence. They rushed him to the hospital and he was saved. Had it not been for the camera, they would have not known what was going on in the house and it would have been too late by the time they would be home. He was only saved because he was treated on an immediate basis.

Later he was counseled on the same and started a new lease of life with a positive note. I never imagined that installing a camera would make such a huge difference. Really it’s such a small decision but proved as a life savior!
