PRESS RELEASE
SwannOne enables users to securely monitor their home and control aspects such as heating and lighting from wherever they are via one simple app
UK – 18th September 2015 – Swann, a global leader in DIY security monitoring, today announces the availability of a wireless, security-centric, smart home system, SwannOne. SwannOne enables home automation and an easy way to secure and monitor homes or businesses via one simple app. The SwannOne Video Monitoring Kit is available to buy now from Maplin for £349.99. A starter Wireless Smart Alarm Kit can also be purchased for £199.99 and all aspects of the kit can be purchased separately if desired including additional cameras, sensors, sirens and smart plugs. Other kits are available from Screwfix and Costco. Availability at PC World and Currys will begin from 5th October 2015.
SwannOne offers complete security and convenience with products and services combined in one solution including video monitoring, alarms, access control, lighting, heating control, energy management, sound alerts and much more via a smartphone or tablet. The solution is powered by the SwannOne Smart Hub, which incorporates the latest wireless technologies that allow users to add devices via WiFi such as cameras, sensors and accessories to record and monitor what’s happening at home.
Using the SwannOne app for iOS or Android, users can access home devices from anywhere with convenient features such as home and away modes, scheduling rules for lighting, heating and locks, as well as professional monitoring services. The connected homeowner can turn any appliance on or off with smart plugs based on the rules and schedules that they create. For example, the electric heater can be turned on remotely so it’s ready when the user gets home from work on a winter’s day. There is also no need to worry if the iron is left on when leaving the house for work as it can be turned off remotely. Other features such as built-in microphones will analyse certain sounds like breaking glass, baby cries, and car alarms to alert the user.
