How to secure and manage your home remotely?

Home-Automation

Leave your home with great peace of mind

Whether you are lying in the sun, climbing some mountains or at the sea side, relax with the certainty that everything is going well in your absence thanks to connected objects.

Keep an eye on your home

 

No need to invest in expensive alarm systems to monitor your home remotely. Today, it's easy to install a connected camera like Thomson's 512392 Motorized WIFI 720P IP Camera. Simple to connect to a power outlet at home, this discreet camera is controlled from a smartphone and transmits images in high definition and color. With its motion detection sensor, it gives the alert to the slightest sign of life inside the home thanks to its engine that can cover a wide horizontal and vertical surveillance zone. If an alarm goes off, a look at the camera will confirm the break-in or reassure you if it's a false alarm. The camera will be just as convenient outside of the holidays period, just to check that the children are well back home or that the cat is not climbing up the curtains....

 

This camera is compatible with the Thombox surveillance system. It is equipped with a built-in microphone to hear and record what is happening and connects to the home network in WiFi. For optimal operation, consider installing the camera to film the front door and the french glass doors if your apartment is located on the ground floor. Please note that, if you have a babysitter or a home help, you must inform them of the presence of a video surveillance system, if it is connected in their presence.

Detect intruders

 

In addition to a camera, there are alarm and detection systems that are easy to set up, without the need to subscribe to a central monitoring station. Thombox solution from Thomson can be installed in a few minutes and protects your home, at an affordable price. The kit includes a central box and an infrared wireless indoor motion detector that is compatible with pets, a magnetic wireless aperture detector to place on a door or window, and a central remote control. If the house is big, you can add more sensors. Once installed, these devices monitor the house and alert you on smartphone or tablet, via email and phone message notification, of the slightest intrusion. If your camera confirms the intrusion, you can then start the alarm siren remotely.

Turn on the heating before coming back home.

 

Cutting the heating before going on vacation is a good ecological and economical gesture, but the return home is sometimes a little difficult if it is very cold in your absence! That’s why, to leave your sweet home, without any fear of a (cold) return, you can install connected heaters like Thomson's THRFIT1000 which can be remote controlled from a smartphone.

 

The application "Smart Comfort" allows to check the indoor temperature and adjust it exactly to the degree. It can especially turn on the radiator remotely the day before your return to let you find a warm and cozy "home sweet home". This radiator also makes savings all year round, thanks to its presence detectors that adapt their temperature to your habits. The app tracks energy consumption accurately to better understand what to do in order to lower the heating bill.

The radiator is also compatible with Google Home® and Amazon Alexa® assistants, and can therefore be driven by voice commands.
