LiveGuard Adds Home Automation & Home Security Capability to Games Console Devices
Glamorgan, UK (PRWEB UK) 30 April 2014 -- LiveGuard has extended MyLiveGuard, its combined Home Automation, Alarm and CCTV solutions platform, to take advantage of the market for android-based device sales. The new android-based software module turns an android device into a feature-rich system hub from which home owners can protect and control their home with a smartphone.
“Falling technology costs and the consolidation of the smartphone as a central lifestyle hub mean people have new expectations about the way a whole range of services are delivered – and home security is no exception,” said Mark Naldrett, LiveGuard’s Sales Director. “Extending our platform to android makes Home Security and peace of mind suddenly accessible to a much wider range of homeowners."
“Games console purchasing, for example, just became a whole lot easier to justify; if you needed to justify it that is,” said Mark Naldrett, Sales Director. “Our software platform makes a games console a powerful dual purpose device so that when it isn’t entertaining it’s helping home owners/renters safeguard the things that are precious to them – their home, their kids and their possessions."
A Games Console enabled with LiveGuard’s solution allows home owners to use a smartphone to remotely view what’s going on inside their home in real-time no matter where they are in the world via wireless IP cameras.
If the system detects a problem of any sort from wireless sensors (intrusion, smoke, flood), it makes a voice call to the absent home owner and even sends video footage of the problem. If the alarm goes unanswered it will then contact specified friends and family in rotation to ensure a rapid response to the situation.
Additionally, home owners can use their smartphones to remotely control lights, heating controls door locks, cat flaps, curtains and much more on a manual or scheduled basis to simulate occupancy when away from home, prepare their property for their return home and manage energy more efficiently.
“It’s the ultimate Games Console device," concluded Naldrett. “Games Console manufacturers can add extra competitive edge to their products and tap into the hot Home Automation/Security market for additional margins while their home owner customers benefit from a device that both entertains and protects them."
Android Games Console manufacturers interested in benefitting from LiveGuard’s white label software platform are invited to contact Mark Naldrett direct on +44(0) 7900 603536 for more information.
