Home Automation/ Smart Home

Home automation or smart home  (also known as domotics or domotica) is the residential extension of building automation. It involves the control and automation of lighting, heating (such as smart thermostats), ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and security, as well as home appliances such as washer/dryers, ovens or refrigerators/freezers. They use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring and are a part of the Internet of things. Modern systems generally consist of switches and sensors connected to a central hub sometimes called a "gateway" from which the system is controlled with a user interface that is interacted either with a wall-mounted terminal, mobile phone software, tablet computer or a web interface, often but not always via internet cloud services.

While there are many competing vendors, there are very few world-wide accepted industry standards and the smart home space is heavily fragmented. Popular communications protocol for products include X10, Ethernet, RS-485, 6LoWPAN, Bluetooth LE (BLE), ZigBee and Z-Wave, or other proprietary protocols all of which are incompatible with each other. Manufacturers often prevent independent implementations by withholding documentation and by suing people.

Gate Automation Systems

A gate is a just a gate, right? Well, there are differences between a five-bar gate and an industrial security gate. And swing gates operate very differently from sliding gates. And sliding gates are like cantilever gates but only one needs a track.

So, with all these differences and variations in size, weight, materials, location and operation, how do you choose the right gate automation to turn manual gates into automated gates? Here’s our starter guide to the different types of gate automation available and what works best where.

Swing Gates

Swing gates have the largest range of automation systems. There are ram style motors, articulated arm motors and underground and in-post gate operators.

Rams

Rams are long and thin. They’re mounted at one end to the gate post and the other end is mounted on the gate. This end is extended out of the motor housing to open the gate and retracted back into the housing to close it. They use either hydraulic pistons or linear screws where a threaded shaft is turned to move the gate attachment point up and down the threaded shaft.

Articulated Arms

Articulated arm motors have a jointed metal arm attached to a motor output. The motor housing is mounted to the gate post and the end of the arm is attached to the gate. When the motor turns, the articulated arm opens or closes the gate.

Underground and In-post motors

Underground motors and in-post motors are discrete gate operators and are either sunk into pits beneath the gate hinge point or installed within the gate post. Arms connected to the hidden gate motors are then attached to the base of the gate.

Rams need a little care to get the geometry right but they’re strong. Articulated arms tend to be a little more tolerant of slight installation inaccuracies and, like rams, have the gate mounting away from the gate hinge so need less force to open and close gates. Undergrounds and in-post motors usually require careful installation and undergrounds need good drainage. They both operate gates from the hinge and need a lot of force as a result.

Sliding Gates

Sliding gate motors push a single rolling gate along a track mounted along the gate’s travel. A gear mounted on the motor output shaft and protruding from the motor housing meshes with a rack mounted along the length of the gate.  Cantilever gates work in a similar way but don’t need track along their length as they’re counter-balanced around a single rolling support point.

Have a look at the illustrations included to see more details of the various types of gate motors. You can also use the table below to see all gate motors types compared against each other.

Garage Door Automation 

Automatic garage doors are great. You arrive at your garage in your car, press a button and the garage door opens magically. Drive your car into your garage and the door closes at the touch of a button.

Photo Beams

A standard on most gate systems, one or two infrared beams are recommended to prevent gates closing on to vehicles or pedestrians. It is better to prevent an impact than act after the impact has happened.

Enhancing Security with the IP Camera

• Tweet

The IP camera is an important component of a security system for the home or office because it is actually a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera that is designed for surveillance, but utilizes Internet Protocol (IP) for sending data and the control signals to and from a computer via a Fast Ethernet connection. IP cameras are also known as Internet cameras because they use the same protocol for data transmission in the Internet. And unlike the regular CCTV cameras, where the images captured can only be viewed using a monitor in a particular room, the IP video can be viewed by the user anywhere in the world as long as there is Internet access.

Proprietary software is available for IP cameras so that the computers to which they are connected to can be accessed by the user through the Internet. It is actually possible to view the images being captured the surveillance camera using a web browser in a notebook computer, PDA or smart phone because a specific IP address could be assigned for the computer to which the camera is connected to. Thus, this particular computer can be provided with its own URL so that whenever the user wants to view what is seen by the camera, he simply types this URL into the browser.

There is the type of security IP camera that requires no wires but uses antenna for receiving and transmitting signals. By using the wireless IP camera system people being viewed will have no hint that there are cameras installed since there are no visible wires. In the hidden location, it has the capability of transmitting IP video data to a certain computer. Such type of security system can be utilized in private offices and other public establishments.

The video data is packed down by means of an applications or software, like as H.264 to reduce bandwidth utilization and the storage space operation in the hard drive. Now, the images’ superiority will be maintained. The H.264 standard is specifically used for compressing images and videos.

There are also some negative sides of using an IP camera for home security and business surveillance. First on the list of the negative aspects of IP camera is less number of IP camera manufacturers which make it costly. Another, the IP camera also needs high bandwidth requirement. The computer network settings should also be set up in using IP camera because this is something which is more complicated. The IP camera has technical drawbacks if is used in dark places and the contrast might not that be clear. On the other hand, there are many benefits of using IP cameras in your home or office which will give you’re the required security and remote accessibility.
