Angelique Charbonnnier, Marketing Manager, explains to us that home security is an important value for a growing number of people. A recent survey conducted on a sample of 6500 people in Europe reports that they are safe at home (89%). But this does not reduce the attention to safety devices: the 42% have activated smart security systems, there is great attention to closing doors and windows before leaving the house or before going to bed. Also because 20% have suffered burglaries at home. The company’s new security solutions therefore play an important role for many people.
In recent years they have launched several smart devices, which add to the non-connected products for which the company has become famous all over the world. But today they launch several new products, which they work with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Homekit, Philips Hue e non solo. Fabrice EstornelHead of Alarm and Surveillance, announces the four new devices presented by the company: Yale Smart Alarm, Smart Video Doorbell, Indoor e Outdoor Camera.

The app Yale Home allows you to monitor the situation, with notifications as soon as the alarm sensors reveal suspicious activity. Designed to protect properties of all sizes, both internal and external, thanks to technology Horizon+. This security protocol allows you to protect homes, gardens, properties, by continuously monitoring the perimeter – which you can extend with sensors and other devices, all connected with the Yale Smart Alarm.
You can use different devices in the system, for example by activating the security camera if a sensor detects movement. Furthermore, it is very flexible with its areas (up to four), which allow, for example, to activate the alarm in the garage while you are in the office. Finally, you can use advanced features such as cellular connectivity.

A security ecosystem
Markus Henkelman, Director Prodcuts Yale and Smart Residential EMEIA, explains that these products and other smart solutions integrate into a complete ecosystem. The app Yale Home allows you to manage all your smart devices from a single app, by creating the Yale Smart Security Ecosystem. Not only that, by integrating the various products it becomes possible to find automations and intelligent solutions to simplify the use of these products.
You can for example activate privacy mode when opening a Smart Lock or disabling a Smart Lock, avoiding recording when you want to protect the privacy of those at home. Or you can allow access to domestic workers or dog sitters, in a very simple way. A particularly useful alternative for those who rent their own home is to provide a code to open the door, deactivate the alarm and any other options you think are worth adopting. To then deactivate the code at the end of the rental period. And the possibilities are even more.
Henkelman also explains that Yale has signed many partnerships, with various smart home solutions (Google Home, Alexa, Apple Homekit, IFTT), but also with companies such as Philips Hue, Schneider, Bosch and many others. Also, he works with smart hosting agencies (RemoteLock, opertoetc.) and video intercom (DoorBird, Akuvox).
