The concept of home security solutions emerged in the early 1990s wherein the solution was predominantly similar to car alarms. They were expensive and unreliable and the rate of false alarms was also very high. However, with progress in the technology, home security solutions have also advanced gradually. A wide variety of features, such as night-vision, cameras, electronic and smart locks, motion-sensitivity, wireless devices, internet connectivity, and more, became commonly available for utilisation by homeowners. Such enhanced security features, in turn, increased the interest in security solutions, subsequently increasing the demand.
However, as in case of any advanced technologies, these security solutions also involve issues such as software glitches, non-compatibility issues, connectivity issues, radio or electrical interference, and more. There are extensive initiatives being taken by industry players in order to overcome these issues and thus, provide a highly effective security solution for homeowners.
