Problem and Solution Approach
Today, most homes are left unprotected as traditional home security systems are insufficient in many aspects: First, they are costly, due to high initial and/or high running costs. They are cumbersome to de-/install and often require a professional installer, if at all permitted by the landlord. Armed, the systems bear the risk of sending false alarms, which causes high public and private costs as the police or security services are automatically informed. Given these shortfalls, we see traditional security systems addressing a small segment of home owners in the upper premium market, while the vast majority of homes are “fair game” to burglars. We are convinced the market is in great need of an affordable, effective and renter-friendly solution.
