Security is a huge concern for Housing Agencies in social housing. The next step in secure, safe housing is automation and IoT technology.
According to Yale’s Specifications Manager Vivienne Taylor, “There is often a social attitude, whether real or perceived, that the presence of social tenants brings with it an increase in antisocial behaviour, and owner-occupiers can be concerned that this will have a negative impact on the value of their property.”
The Solution:
To combat this perceived or real attitude, greater security measures can help tenants feel safer in their homes. Smart cameras and sensors are the perfect solution. Door sensors and sensors in the home are the perfect example. These sensors will monitor when a door is opened and any movement within the home, this will automatically send alerts to Housing Agencies letting them know that their tenants could be at risk.
Smart devices can also be added to communal areas. This can include sensors, alarms or cameras. Not only would they do everything a normal device like this can do, they would also be able to monitor average attendance in communal areas, for example, letting you know if there are more people there than there should be.
Connecting IoT:
But for these devices to work they’ll need constant connectivity and that’s where we come in. Daisy Anywhere can connect each device on a low-data, low-cost payment plan that utilises the UK’s best networks.
Daisy Anywhere uses a SIM card to provide cellular connectivity to everything from security cameras to fridges. Using it with your security solutions provides constant connectivity on a safe, secure network. Daisy Anywhere’s unsteered connection means that it will connect to the strongest signal in your area.
