A security system component utilizes a sensor placed on a door and communicates wirelessly with a smartphone or tablet. When the door is opened unexpectedly, the sensor triggers an alert that is then transmitted to the users mobile device through a dedicated software application. For example, if unauthorized entry occurs during the night, the house occupant gets immediate notification on their smartphone, enabling prompt action.
This type of system provides a significant increase in home security by offering immediate awareness of unauthorized access, regardless of the users location. This capability represents a substantial improvement over traditional alarms that only sound a local alert. Historically, wired alarm systems were costly and complex to install, whereas this system offers a more accessible and user-friendly security solution, thereby enhancing the safety and peace of mind for homeowners and renters.
