The most expensive incident in a UAE home is often not a burglary — it is a leaking water heater while the family is away. Here is how a smart home covers both.
When people think of home security, they think of cameras. Cameras are useful, but a complete picture includes access, leaks and alerts that tell you what really matters.
Water: the underestimated risk
Water heaters on the roof or in lofts, AC condensate drains, washing machines and pool equipment can all leak. In an apartment, a leak can also damage the neighbours' flat below. A leak sensor plus a motorized valve on the main supply closes the water automatically and sends you an alert.
Access for family, staff and guests
- Personal codes or cards with schedules: the cleaner on certain days, the gardener in the mornings.
- An entry log that shows who came and when.
- Temporary codes for guests or contractors that expire automatically.
Intercom that comes with you
A video intercom on your phone lets you see and talk to whoever is at the gate — a courier, a guest or a technician — and open it remotely.
Cameras with local recording
Professional cameras record to a recorder inside the home. You watch them through an encrypted app, and the footage is not stored on unknown servers. Respect neighbours' privacy when positioning cameras, and check the current local rules for cameras in shared areas.
Alerts, not noise
An app that pings you every time a cat crosses the garden gets muted within a week. We configure alerts that matter: motion near the back door at night, the gate left open, a leak, the kids arriving home.
One button when you leave
"Away" arms the alarm, locks the doors, sets the AC to a safe temperature, closes the shades and starts presence simulation with lights. See security and access control.
