smanos Smart Home Technology

Who doesn’t love opening presents? The anticipation, the curiosity about what could be in the box so lovingly wrapped with paper and a bow. Just that moment before we unwrap is one of the best in the whole world.

Thanks to e-commerce advancements, consumers nowadays receive packages similar to gift boxes every time they order something online. Have you noticed that unboxing and product review videos are becoming a must before consumers make any significant purchasing decision? Especially for tech and gadgets lovers!

Those wanting to find out what is in a box featuring a smanos smart home security system don't have to wait for others to post unboxing videos!

The Open Box playlist on the smanos YouTube channel provides an overview of what you can expect from all your purchases. The videos showcase the sleek design and styling of all smanos products and highlight how form and function can be integrated to help you create the smart and secure home of your dreams, today.

For instance, the W020 WiFi alarm system with the IP6 HD camera (W020i) provides a quick overview of what’s in the box and how the system can be used.

The holiday season is upon us, Christmas trees and decorations are going up all around. Under many Christmas trees, beautifully wrapped presents are starting to appear.

While enjoying all the festivities and joyful gatherings the season brings, there is one thing you should not overlook. UK Home Office statistics show that theft from residential properties increases by as much as 20% during the holiday season. Valuable presents and the cover of dark make an inviting proposition for thieves. But fear not, there is a smanos alarm system for any property type and size. And as a special Christmas gift, many of these feature in special seasonal deals.

Featured among the holiday deals are the smanos X300 and X500 SIM-enabled wireless intruder alarms and the W100 dual WiFi / phone line alarm system – and all three will notify you if an alarm is triggered no matter where you are. You can also pair any of the systems with smanos IP6 HD WiFi Camera to keep an eye on your loved ones and/or your property.

Installation is a cinch - smanos wireless systems and accessories are quick and easy to install and use, straight from the box. With no messy wiring required or need to re-decorate, the cutting edge designs will fit harmoniously with any style of home décor.

The term latchkey kid may have been around for over 50 years, but in all that time successive generations of parents haven’t stopped worrying about their children being home alone between school finishing at 3pm and the parents getting home from work sometime after 5 or 6pm. While the pressures of modern life drive both mothers and fathers to be at work full time, that doesn't stop parents from worrying whether their children have made it home safely. There is of course no substitute for being at home with the kids, but the latest smart home innovations from smanos may help to alleviate some of the worry. The X500, X300 or any of the WiFi smart security system and IP6 HD WiFi camera work together to alert you after the children get in the door and turn off the alarm; this works via a simple SMS text message or push notification to your Android or Apple smartphone.

Once received, it's a simple matter of tapping on the IP6 app; not only can you check on the children using the HD video feed, but you can also speak with them using the two-way HiFi audio feature. You could also speak with your children directly to/from the X500 as if you were on the phone.

As any dog owner will know, leaving Fido at home while you are at work or at the shops can be a worrisome scenario. Dogs become a key part of the family, and it can be gut-wrenching being away from them.

It can be pretty uncomfortable for them, too! Especially if they get anxious, lonely or bored. While unwanted dog hair on (or even in) the bed or sofa can be frustrating, having a dog go through the bin can be a house-proud pet owners worst nightmare – not to mention if the chilli sauce from last night stains the carpet!

But imagine being able to check in when you are missing them and see what they are up to while you are out, or even perhaps get notified as soon as they disturb the bin lid.

Well you no longer have to just imagine it, thanks to beautifully designed and easy-to-install smanos smart home monitoring and alarm systems.

The smanos IP6 HD WiFi camera lets you see and hear what is going on and what Fido is doing via an easy to use smartphone app designed for Apple or Android devices. The built-in microphone and speaker ensure high-quality two-way audio communication, and the industrial-grade Sony image sensor renders sharp video footage night and day.

When coupled with a smanos intrusion system such as the W020, you can be alerted if intruders try to get in from outside, or when pets try to raid the bin!

Conversations surrounding home security tend to focus on keeping intruders out of a home or building. And while the impacts of burglary are obviously distressing, far greater security risks exist. A survey by the UK Government agency responsible for managing floods has identified the average cost of a home flooding is £28,000, compared to £7,300 losses from fire damage and just over £1,000 for a burglary. Part of the reason for this is that people are aware of detectors that can warn of an intruder, or the presence of smoke in the home, but very few realise that electronic flood detectors exist as well. However, most smoke/fire/gas leak and water/flood detectors only report problems to the people who are at home. They do not let you know any emergencies when you are out. And that leaves your belongings and pets at risk every time you leave the house. This is where smanos is different. We believe in keeping your home safe from any danger wherever you are. We have developed a range of smoke alarms, gas leak detectors and flood detectors that work with our latest WiFi and GSM cellular alarms. So no matter where you are, your home can alert you if there is a problem. You can also make sure the problem is fixed and your pets and belongings are safe!

Does this sound familiar? You are living in a shared accommodation at university but constantly worried about personal items got stolen when you are away? Usually the first thing you do is to check the door lock. With the increase in digital devices and computer equipments, this is an important feature to look out for before signing any letting contract. But we all know a lock is not a barrier to theft. 

We often hear stories of food, CDs and money missing. One of my college friends, the treasurer of the fencing club I attended, had a substantial amount of the club’s money in her room.  Before she could get to the bank to pay it in, the room was broken into and the money got stolen. Then began the arduous task of reporting the incident to the police, dealing with insurance claims and covering the loss. This had a major impact on my friend and caused real disruptions to her studies.

Fortunately, today there are beautifully designed, cost-efficient, easy-to-install smanos Smart Home monitoring and alarm solutions available to protect your stuff. The smanos alarms feature open/close door sensors or movement sensors that will send a push notification to multiple preauthorized smartphone users once an alarm is set-off.

The new smanos IP6 HD WiFi camera works in combination with the W020 WiFi alarm system and once an alarm is triggered it can send out the push notification to your smartphone and store footage of the intruder!

And this is how it works...

(Apr 27, 2015 – Amsterdam) smanos, an award-winning innovator and trendsetting developer of wireless smart home and DIY security systems, is proudly bringing its Red Dot design icon as well as its highly acclaimed WiFi and cellular portfolio to Secutech in Taipei from Apr 28~30. The complete smanos smart home portfolio speaks minimalistic elegance, self-installation and self-monitoring, and will be available at Stand 5201 at Taipei Nangang World Trade Center. From WiFi, cellular, app-enabled alarm and automation systems to remote energy, security and health management, smanos solutions cater to today’s mobile-driven lifestyles and ever-evolving residential needs, and ensure property owners have complete control, comfort and visual confirmation right at their fingertips within a few short minutes and easy swipes and taps.

“We’re excited to unveil the smanos K1 SmartHome DIY Kit, first announced at International CES in January and now a Red Dot product design winner, and to showcase our latest offerings to distributors, dealers and retailers in the region,” said Hayden Hsu, VP Marketing. The K1, the ultimate home automation and security center, is smanos’ latest wireless smart home gateway, combining butler- and guard-like functions into a stack of aesthetically pleasing round discs. “The discs come with aluminum frames and texturized plastic surfaces, particularly designed for everyday wear and tear,” said Sam Xu, Lead Industrial Designer. “smanos K1 connects to up to 50 wireless accessories with ease, and its intuitive operation both on-site and on the smartphone is a breeze. Users, young or old, can rely on their basic senses to see, hear or touch to check if K1-enabled things at home are working properly.” Such connected but wireless things include locks, HD cameras, alarm detectors/sirens and environmental sensors.

Comparable with high-caliber smartphones these days, said Daniel Chung, Business Development Director, smanos K1 is easily mount-and-play, and adding/removing features is just like adding/removing smartphone apps. “With such intuitive operation, gesture-based password protection and self-tuning capability, your smart and connected home has just become that much more adorable and affordable with smanos K1.”

The IP6, a new addition to smanos’ WiFi portfolio and an HD camera for home security and serenity, has a wide field of view at 110 degrees (equivalent to 2 home cameras from the competition combined) and a state-of-the-art cooling mechanism that cannot be found elsewhere in the residential DIY security sector, said Lily Chen, Senior Product Manager. “smanos IP6 is an intuitive, plug-and-play home camera that delivers uncanny, smooth, HD-quality video at 720p, without any complications or LAN setup.” Simply download the free app from App Store or Google Play, register for free, power on your IP6, scan the QR code in the back, and upon a WiFi auto link, this little gadget is ready for any action. “Even if it is powered on 24/7, heat dissipation of smanos IP6 is cleverly taken care of with the sleek, compact, ceramic-like plastic design,” Chen stressed.

With just one QR code scan, you can share (or revoke) your IP6 camera views with your friends or loved ones, and enjoy memorable moments with them, Chung added. “The built-in HiFi microphone and speaker ensure seamless 2-way communication between you and your loved ones, keeping either party in the know, on the go. One smartphone can control multiple smanos IP6’s; and vice versa, one IP6 can be viewed by multiple users simultaneously.”

Expect to find more on display, including cellular- and WiFi-based alarms as well as wireless smart home accessories and sensors. Do watch this space for more updates on more profit-generating and user-friendly smart home sensations from smanos.

Designed in the Netherlands and marketed worldwide, smanos is our complete security, monitoring and automation system lineup for today’s homeowners, Hsu said. “What makes smanos a must-have brand to distributors and retailers is that we’re truly committed to researching, designing and delivering innovative, comprehensive and easy-to-use smart home solutions that will help them outperform their sales and profit targets.” Worldwide, smanos has garnered phenomenal recognition and media coverage over the past 18 months, and growth momentum is still accelerating. What’s being demanded in the residential market these days is smart, simple, sleek, mobile yet compact and integrated ingenuity, and smanos will continue providing just that, with even more home automation, remote management and monitoring options.

The IP6, a new addition to smanos’ WiFi portfolio and an HD camera for home security and serenity, has a wide field of view at 95 degrees (equivalent to 2 home cameras from the competition combined) and a state-of-the-art cooling mechanism that cannot be found elsewhere in the residential DIY security sector, Borghardt said. “smanos IP6 is an intuitive, plug-and-play home camera that delivers uncanny, smooth, HD quality video at 720p, without any complications or LAN setup.” Simply download the free app from App Store or Google Play, register for free, power on your IP6, scan the QR code in the back, and upon a secured WiFi connection, this little gadget is ready for any action. “Even if it is powered on 24/7, heat dissipation of smanos IP6 is cleverly taken care of with the sleek, compact, ceramic-like plastic design,” Song stressed.

With just one click, you can share (or revoke) your IP6 camera views with your friends or loved ones via email, and enjoy memorable moments with them, said Hayden Hsu, Vice President. “The built-in HiFi microphone and speaker ensure seamless 2-way communication between you and your loved ones, keeping either party in the know, on the go. One smartphone can control multiple smanos IP6’s; and vice versa, one IP6 can be viewed by multiple users simultaneously.”

Expect to find more on display, and do watch this space for updates on more profit-generating and user-friendly smart home sensations from smanos.

Designed in the Netherlands and marketed worldwide, smanos is our complete security, monitoring and automation system lineup for today’s homeowners, Hsu said. “What makes smanos a must-have brand to distributors and retailers is that we’re truly committed to researching, designing and delivering innovative, comprehensive and easy-to-use smart home solutions that will help them outperform their sales and profit targets.” Worldwide, smanos has garnered phenomenal recognition and media coverage over the past year, and growth momentum is still accelerating. What’s being demanded in the residential market these days is smart, simple, sleek, mobile yet compact and integrated ingenuity, and smanos will continue providing just that, with even more home automation, remote management and monitoring options.
