Savant introduces a suite of what it calls "Savant Entry"-- a series of products allowing homeowners to see and communicate with anyone approaching a house entry point, such as the front door, side door, garage or gate.
Introduced as part of the Savant 8.9 software and hardware release, the Entry solution sends notifications to homeowners via Savant Pro App secure encrypted connection. Users can respond and unlock the door or gate, as well as check via video intercom on anyone approaching the entry point. They can even simply monitor the status of an entry point, without anyone ringing the bell.
The Entry solutions are designed to work from both inside the home or remotely within the Savant Pro 8 iOS/Android app. In addition, the solution promises an array of premium features, including high-powered night vision capability, advanced motion detection with available notifications and up to 3 months of video storage for events at the door.
Through the integration customers can use voice commands to stream video from security cameras on the TV using the Google Assistant via Google Home and Chromecast. Voice commands include "Okay Google, show me channel one," or "Hey Google, show me the front door." All control is, of course, hands-free.
The D2101KV incorporates a 1-call button and a multifunction keypad. Aimed at single-family homes and commercial properties in need of an access control system, it is made from brushed stainless aluminium and offers an integrated RFID reader and the ability to assign as many as 100 different codes for access. The intercom can also send HTTP requests to broader smart home systems to trigger events via the keypad.
“The Water Leak Detector is a "notification" sensor, designed to give homeowners important information in advance of events,” Nortek says. “Water damage is the number one residential insurance claim in the U.S. This new sensor notifies homeowners in the first stages of a leak, allowing them to react quickly to resolve the problem.”
The camera has a 120-degree wide-angle lens, allowing customers to capture faces and license plates from multiple angles. True Detect heat-sensing technology prevents false-alarm triggers of the pet movement or tree blowing variety, while heat-based PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detection distinguishes the heat of larger objects, including people and cars.
