Trends in Smart Security Systems

The trend of security intelligence in the 21st century, an era of information, witnesses the rapid development of high technologies such as the internet, microelectronics, optoelectronics, and communication. Security systems have gradually transitioned from analog products to digital, networked, and intelligent surveillance products alongside the wave of information technology and the entire information industry’s growth.
Smart security systems, with the advancement of science and technology and the takeoff of information technology in the 21st century, have entered a new domain. The boundary between smart security systems and computers is gradually blurring. Without security technology, society would become unstable, and the progress and development of global science and technology would be affected.


The principle of smart security systems is to maintain safety and manage security. Security systems are integrated systems composed of security products and other related products, capable of collecting all data affecting management from existing multi-brand, multi-method, and multi-device prevention systems, and providing data extraction, data analysis, decision support, and business applications.


The importance of smart security systems in daily life has achieved remarkable success. With the growing demands of enterprises and residential communities, digital smart security is currently facing new development opportunities. Due to the particularity of the digital smart security industry, the state has always encouraged the development of the smart security industry through policies. To address the safety and prevention issues of enterprises and residential communities, multiple relevant documents have been signed and issued by the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Public Security to strengthen the intelligent security prevention facilities of enterprises and residential communities.


Security management systems present the situation, status information, and equipment conditions of the defense area through visual and graphical user interfaces, enhancing situational awareness, discovering potential threats in advance, assisting users in making better decisions, and responding to emergencies and contingencies in a timely manner through equipment linkage, thereby reducing the likelihood and harm of incidents.


Functions of smart security systems: 1. Automatic defense Smart security systems take into account the convenience of property owners. To avoid triggering alarms when entering home, owners can disarm the system by calling a number or sending a text message from their mobile phone. Within a set period, the villa’s smart security system will automatically initiate defense. The villa’s smart security system can intelligently handle video alarms, local audio-visual alarms, local on-site announcements, phone and text message notifications, and remote on-site supervision.


2. Anti-theft system Intelligent access control and infrared curtain devices are primarily designed to prevent unauthorized door opening. The equipment automatically triggers alarms and sends text messages, phone calls, or WeChat reminders to the owner. The infrared curtain’s function is to automatically close windows and notify the owner when an attempt is made to illegally enter through windows.




3. The system is equipped with fire, gas leak, and weather protection features. It detects indoor smoke concentration and gas leaks, and automatically triggers alarms and emergency measures during windy or rainy conditions. Intelligent detection devices act based on the data collected, following pre-designed protocols such as opening or closing windows.


Smart Home Security System’s Four Major Functions:


1. Emergency Button: A quick and simple way to seek help during fires or emergencies. This button sends signals to home automation or building management systems, alerting property or security centers. Suitable for homes with elderly and children, it should be installed near beds, toilets, and easily accessible places.


2. Automatic Alarm and ‘SOS’: Smart sensors detect illegal intrusions, triggering alarms and alerts when activated. The alarm signal is sent to property departments through home terminals or building management systems. Monitoring centers and security personnel can immediately call the police or check the situation to prevent accidents.


3. Alarm and Event Management: Once the homeowner leaves, the smart home security system activates, remaining in a state of readiness. It displays the type of alarm triggered, such as door and window alarms, gas alarms, or even the possibility of an elderly person falling.


4. Automatic Dialing Notification System: Allows users to set multiple emergency contact numbers. Different types of alarms can reach different individuals, and users can also set the system to send alarm notifications as push messages to their phones. This automatic remote alarm notification is very common in home security systems.


With the advancement of the Internet of Things, the security industry has surged both domestically and internationally, perfectly integrating with smart homes and intelligent transportation. From biometrics to video surveillance, security technology is rapidly moving towards intelligent processes. Data shows that the total output value of the domestic security industry reached 500 billion yuan in 2020. Clearly, under the strong support of national initiatives for safe city construction, domestic security companies are about to embrace new opportunities.
