Travel with peace of mind: Somfy Protect keeps your home safe

The power of Somfy Protect: How does it work?

Somfy Protect consists of several wireless components that work together to secure your home. A Protect configuration includes a basic package: Somfy Home Alarm Essential. You can expand this with the components listed below, depending on your needs and the size of your home. Important to note: with Somfy Protect, you don’t need an (expensive) subscription.

Motion sensors

Motion sensors form the first line of defense for your home. These sensors detect movement in specific areas and can quickly identify a potential intruder. Thanks to advanced technology, they distinguish between human movements and other movements, such as those of pets.

Intrusion detectors

Intrusion detectors are strategically placed on doors and windows and react to unauthorized openings. As soon as a door or window is opened without permission, the alarm goes off immediately. This deters burglars and alerts you directly via the Somfy Protect app.

Indoor and outdoor cameras

Somfy Protect security cameras provide live video footage and can automatically record videos of suspicious activities. With night vision functionality, the cameras offer a clear view even at night. The footage is sent directly to your smartphone, so you’re always aware of what’s happening at home.

Smoke detectors

In addition to burglary protection, Somfy Protect also offers fire safety. The smoke detectors detect smoke development at an early stage and send an immediate alert to your phone, allowing you to act quickly.

Siren

The indoor siren is a powerful deterrent. When the alarm system is activated, the siren sounds loudly, scaring off intruders and alerting neighbours. This makes it difficult for an intruder to remain unnoticed.

Ease of use with the Somfy Protect app

One of the biggest advantages of the Somfy Protect alarm system is the easy operation via the Somfy Protect app. This user-friendly app allows you to manage the entire system from your smartphone, wherever you are. Here are some handy features of the app:

Real-time alerts: Receive immediate notifications of suspicious activities.

• Live video feed: View live video footage from your cameras to see what’s happening at home.
• Set scenarios: Create automatic scenarios where, for example, your lights, blinds, or shutters switch on and off at different times to give the impression that you’re home.
• Alarm management: Easily arm or disarm the alarm and view the history of alarm notifications.

Moreover, the installation of the Somfy Protect system is plug & play, allowing you to secure your home easily and quickly without hassle. The system is completely wireless, so you don’t need to install complex wiring.

Smart adjustments for extra security

Besides using the Somfy Protect alarm system, there are other smart ways to make your home extra secure during your absence. Here are some tips:

• Presence simulation

Use the scenarios in the Somfy Protect app to make your home appear occupied. For example, set your lights to turn on and off in different rooms at random times. Combine this with automatically opening and closing blinds or shutters. Potential burglars will think someone is home.

• Smart lighting

Use smart lamps that you can control remotely via your smartphone. Turn them on at sunset and off at sunrise, or set a random schedule. This way, it looks like your daily routine is continuing.

• Good neighbours

Ask a trusted neighbour to collect your mail occasionally and keep an eye on things. An overflowing mailbox is a clear sign that no one is home. A neighbour can also take out and bring in the bins to give the impression that you’re home.

• Outdoor motion sensors

Install motion sensors with lighting around your house. As soon as someone approaches your property, the lights come on. This can deter potential burglars.

• Regular checks

Regularly check the status of your Somfy Protect system via the app. Ensure all components are working correctly and that the batteries of the wireless devices are not nearly empty.

Somfy Protect: leave home with peace of mind

The Somfy Protect alarm system offers a comprehensive and reliable solution for securing your home, especially during the holiday season. With a combination of motion sensors, intrusion detectors, security cameras, smoke detectors, and a powerful siren, all operated via the convenient Somfy Protect app, you can go on holiday with peace of mind.

The wireless, plug & play installation and the absence of a subscription make the system even more attractive.
