In 2017 more than eight billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices were used, and a projected 20 billion or more IoT devices will be used in 2020 (Security Review of Consumer Home Internet of Things (IoT) Products). The Internet of Things represents a diverse technology and usage without knowing the business opportunities and risks. The Internet of Things is changing the dynamics of security industry. It allows data to be transferred seamlessly from a physical devise to the internet. The growth of number of intelligent devices will create a network full of information that allows supply chains to assemble and communicate in new ways. Many new companies are venturing out into the new competitive market of security doorbells. Security doorbells are a newer technology that has allowed homeowners to feel more comfortable in their homes. In the early 1900’s the first doorbell was invented, and we have come a long way since then. Americans have become so concerned with crime; they are installing video doorbells at their homes for added security. With this new technology in our hands we can see who is at the door without opening the door. If someone is near your door a notification is sent to your smartphone. You then could talk to them if that’s needed. If for instance its someone breaking in and you’re not home, you have the ability to sounds a silent alarm for local law enforcement. The security doorbells’ main objective is to prevent and detect any crime.
Having all of these advantages at the tips of our fingers is amazing. Americans around the country are feeling safer with a security doorbell installed. The device itself is different from company to company but they all have top of the line cameras for detailing individuals. The range of the camera is very impressive as well. With any security doorbell you can see a full 180-degree view.
As seen in figure 1.
Home security systems are a new technology since they have been around for 8-10 years. I can see this concept of home protection monitors skyrocketing in the next 5 years. Many more Americans are seeing the added benefits of installing a home security doorbell at their house. Internet of Things is on the rise, I am very interested to see where our lives go, co-evolving with this technology.
