Home Security: Your Safe Haven, Intertwined with Technology
South Africa is unfortunately riddled with crime and risks. This has led to the development and popularity of a variety of ways to combat crime and protect your home and family. Your home should be a place where you can unwind and provide a safe environment for your family, children, and property—all of which you’ve worked so hard for.
So, why not enhance your home security and make it simpler with the integrated solutions Advanced Living Solutions has to offer?
How Technology Can Help Secure Your Home
The first step to using technology for home security is to choose products and systems designed to work together seamlessly. At Advanced Living Solutions, we offer several tactics to enhance your security:
- Physical Deterrents for Home Security: The obvious ones—a high, sturdy wall, a properly configured electric fence, secure gates and garages, and protected doors and windows.
- Active Deterrents for Home Security: This includes a well-designed alarm system with sensors, active deterrent camera systems, and an intercom.
- Analytics & Automation for Enhanced Home Security: The internal software and features of your security technologies work with your automation system for seamless operation.
The Power of Automation in Home Security
By using automation software, the possibilities for home security are practically limitless. All technologies communicate with each other and are viewable from one central app. Integrating your automation system with smart devices and lighting further simplifies and enhances your home security experience.
Scenario: One-Touch Home Security
Imagine this: with one touch of an arming button, the system ensures your electric fence is armed, your alarm system activates, doors and gates lock, and you can view the status (open or closed) of your doors, windows, gates, and garage doors. The system even alerts you if anything is left open.
Scenario: Alarm Triggered – Enhancing Home Security
Let’s say your garden alarm sensor is triggered. The system can automatically turn on all the lights in the garden, flash them, and bring up the live camera feed on your keypads and TVs.

Remote Video Intercom: A Home Security Advantage
A remotely accessible video intercom provides a significant home security advantage. When a visitor rings, the live feed appears on keypads throughout the home and a notification is sent to your phone. You can see, speak to, and even open the gate or garage for the visitor – all remotely. This is also great for managing access for deliveries, service providers, or pet sitters, adding another layer of home security.
Here is a more detailed explanation of how automation can help bring everything together.
Smart Alarm System: One-Touch Control for Home Security
With a smart alarm system, you can arm and disarm different parts of the system separately using buttons like ‘inside zone’, ‘outside zone’, ‘night mode’, and ‘all zones’. For example, at night, you can press ‘coffee’ on your keypad to disarm the zones leading to the kitchen and dimly light the way, while the rest of the house remains secure.
Moccupancy: Simulating Presence for Home Security
The ‘moccupancy’ feature simulates the presence of people in your home when you’re away. This is done by automatically controlling lights, TVs, and other devices to mimic typical daily activities. This deters potential burglars who often target empty homes.

Active Deterrent Cameras and Analytics for Proactive Home Security
Modern IP camera systems go beyond monitoring; they actively prevent threats. They have built-in sirens, flashing lights, and two-way audio, triggered automatically when suspicious activity is detected. Advanced analytics, including AI-driven facial recognition, help distinguish between regular activity and genuine threats, reducing false alarms.
Conclusion
These are just a few examples of how Advanced Living Solutions can enhance your home security and peace of mind.
