Home security cameras and alarm systems are two pillars of smart home security https://www.secuexpress.com/smart-home. The residential intruder alarm market is predicted to have a mild growth in the coming years. The report of IMS Research, an IHS company, revealed that the residential sector accounted for 40.7% of the $2.7 billion global intruder alarm market, and is forecasted to be one of the fastest-growing verticals with a five-year CAGR of 5.3% from 2012 to 2017. From interviews of Asian manufacturers like Jing Hualong (JHL), 20 to 30 percent of annual growth can be expected. The connected home features are predicted to push the whole market upward.
For smart home consumers, especially DIY users, the wireless alarm kits feature easy installation with minimal hassle and installation expense. The wireless intruder alarm kit for the smart home generally consists of a central control unit, PIR motion detectors, door/window contact sensors and remotes, available with WiFi/PSTN, WiFi/GSM and GSM/SMS alarm systems. Sirens and panic buttons are important add-ons. Smoke, gas leak, flood, glassbreak detectors are optional accessories.
At present, major wireless standards for home alarm kits are composed of RF proprietary systems based on 315MHz, 433MHz and 868MHz radio frequencies in addition to WiFi,Z-Wave and ZigBee. The proprietary systems ensure signal transmissions in a stable and interference-free way.
To avoid false alarms, it is a trend to integrate network cameras for visual verification. Visual verification is believed to prevent false alarms bringing about constant annoyance from traditional alarm systems. It enables more effective police response, and reduces false alarm fines. The current solutions include motion sensors with built-in camera modules or the alarm systems connecting with external network cameras.
