Smart home Demo

Comfort

The smart home technology for activating temperature controls ensure that you don’t go home to a house that is too cold or hot again.

Also, smart home automation may be used for streaming video and music throughout your home. In the middle of the night, sensors will turn lights automatically on at low level to offer safe yet energy efficient passage.

Energy Efficiency

You cannot manage what you aren’t able to measure. Use home automation systems to reduce cooling and heating requirements together with blinds that close automatically when the temperatures reach a specific point. Timers and sensors will ensure lights aren’t unintentionally on, while an ‘all-off’ scene will switch everything off when it's not in use.

Convenience

With smart home systems, you can complete multiple tasks by the use of simple voice commands or a touch of the button.

Pre-set scenes will simplify your life – whether it’s waking everyone up and out for an early morning start [radio on, blinds up], entertaining guests [playlist on, lights dimmed], or bedtime [blinds closed, downlights off]. Pre-programme scenes to simplify your daily routine.

Security

You can electronically access your security cameras remotely with the use of Smart home technology and it alerts you if sensors pick up strange movements. When away from home, lights and blinds switches may be programmed to run as though someone was at home.

Types Of Air Conditioner Systems

The best option for most homes is the reverse-cycle split-system air conditioning. Let's look at what this means.

Type                                                      Best for cooling:

1. Split-system An open-plan space or room of about 60 square metres. Prices range between $600–$5500.
2. Multi-split 2 to 3 rooms that are reasonably close together. A single outdoor unit can connect separate indoor units. Prices are similar to those of a split-system.
3. Ducted Best for large homes. Ducting connects air outlets to a central unit and sensors for each room. For more details see our buying guide for ducted air conditioner. Price range from $5000+ (could easily cost $10,000 or more).
4. Wall/window Open plan spaces and rooms of about 50 square metres. Often installed on an external wall or window. Smaller units may be plugged into the standard power point; larger ones might require additional wiring. Though not so common. Prices range between $400–$1100.
5. Portable Areas in homes that can't use split-system air-conditioner (e.g. renters). When needed a single unit may be moved from one room to the next (but normally not easily). Though most come with a flexible duct which has to be attached to the window to release the heat outside. It’s not as efficient as the split-systems. Prices range between $300–$1300.

Security cameras

The most important and desirable aspects of any security camera are resolution it offers. Security Cameras provided by MasterCall Industries can show you the differences. For most situations, higher resolutions are always preferable. Then again, keep in mind that higher resolution video streaming requires greater bandwidth and storage. By increasing the resolution, the quality of an image will improve dramatically. And because of that, a number plate or face will have huge numbers of pixels-per-inch, hence allowing for finer details to be selected and recognisable.

The 4MP camera can actually provide you with significantly higher pixel numbers compared to the 1080p monitor and TV, typically, they're used to handling this. Further, this is backed by the fact that many cameras can automatically resize the stream display so as to fit on monitors that don't support that camera's resolution - for instance, viewing the whole 2688 x 1520 stream may not be possible on a monitor that can only output 1920 x 1080. It’s possible to view such stream using its native resolution, however, you would have to scroll for you to view the complete image since some of it is off-screen. The advantage is noticeable when you zoom in on distant objects of interest.

The network-based 4MP IP security cameras can provide video resolutions of up to 2560 x 1440p and these are 30 percent greater than the 2MP/1080p. For example, the 6MP CMOS sensor can capture roughly 50 percent more details in an image than the 4MP sensor and even double what the 3MP sensor can offer. Also, it captures 4 times what a 1.5MP sensor can. For those images viewed on a computer monitor, TV, or a smartphone, this will not matter, however, it will have a huge impact on anyone who actually wants to print out their images.

The 4K/8MP security cameras come with extremely high resolutions of up to 3840 x 2160p. This means it has 3840 horizontal by 2160 vertical pixels, which will result in 8,847,360 pixels overall. That’s twice the 2K resolution security cameras that are roughly 2688 x 1520, to output 4MP.

When looking at the Dynamic Range, then you are looking at the light level difference in an image, that is between the darkest areas and the brightest spots. For example, on a day with few shadows and little sunlight, the dynamic range will be fairly low, i.e. you don't have areas of deep black or even have extreme bright spots. However, on sunny days, in an area with distinct shadows, you’ll have a more distinct difference between the darkest areas and brightest areas, and this is known as WDR or a wide dynamic range.

Also, there are dynamic ranges that might extend beyond what the human eye or the camera can perceive. An example of this is when you happen to take a photo of people in front of a bright window. Hence, the camera might either expose that person properly, interpreting the scene through the bright window “washed out”, or it could give priority to the area through the window, therefore, leaving the individual underexposed and rather hard to see. In such a case, the scene’s dynamic range is wider than what the camera can handle.
