Edinburgh startup Boundary launches smart home security system
The system was designed and created by a team of experts assembled by Edinburgh-based Boundary to solve the problems associated with traditional alarm systems and use advanced technology thinking.
After passing a pre-compliance testing program, Boundary is currently awaiting certification, which is expected to be signed by the end of Q1, according to Class 2 UK & European standards for alarm testing, which it says “not only does the alarm be robust and reliable, but that it is also tamper-proof for prospective burglars “.
It added that Grade 2 certification is also one of the requirements from insurers as well as the police for an automatic Level 1 priority response.
The DIY version – no police, self-monitored – of the alarm system is easy to install and can be easily controlled from a smartphone, “which means that the owner has full control over their siren no matter where they are”. It can be integrated with existing smart home systems, including Alexa and Google Home.
In addition to being completely controllable from your phone, the system provides protection against all known threats, with intelligent sensors designed to minimize false alarms. Users are given a choice of protection levels to give them control, including a key holder option.
