The world of computer technology is continuously advancing each and every
day. We look back at what we had 5 years ago and are amazed to see how far we
have come in such a short time. To know what to expect in the upcoming years is
impossible, for technology is at such a constant increase. Computer technology
is a wonderful tool and can benefit many people if you are willing to accept it.
One of the advancements on the rise is Smart Houses. A Smart House is a house
that is controlled by computers with artificial intelligence. Many people are
choosing to turn their houses into smart ones in order to create a safer and
more technological environment. Throughout my report, I will discuss some
features that I would include in my own smart house, such as safety and
convenience. I think the most common reason that my house will be a smart house
is for safety purposes. Not only does it give a peace of mind to know that my
house is protected at all times, but it gives protection in times of danger.
Brink’s Home Security provides several packages which you can accustom to your
price range and allows you to pick the package which is right for your home.
The standardized system is controlled by a digital keypad, which allows you
to type in a 3-digit number that enables the system. It also features three
panic buttons that directly contact the police department, the fire department,
and the hospital in one quick touch of a button. This package comes with 2 door
and window sensors that set the alarm off if they are opened while the system is
armed. It also comes with a motion detector that detects heat and body
movements. If any of these features are triggered, a siren will sound which
makes your family and the intruder aware that the Brink’s monitoring center are
being notified. Some extra features are a glass break protector, smoke & heat
detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. The system also provides a keyless
keyfob that allows you to enable or disable the system with a touch of a quick
button. As you can see, the Brink’s Home Security provides a thorough package of
home safety features. Not only is it reliable, but also gives a secure way to
