Celebrate greater security at home with PhoneWatch

See how Smart Homes put your security first at the PTSB Ideal Home Show.

PhoneWatch makes a welcome return to October’s PTSB Ideal Home Show where they’ll be showcasing the very latest in advanced Smart Home devices that can transform your living space into a secure, connected haven. Here’s everything you need to know to get started.

10 Security Essentials by PhoneWatch

Here are ten must-have Smart Home devices to build a secure and connected home with PhoneWatch:

1. Secure Your Home Network and Devices

Start with a strong foundation. Use encrypted Wi-Fi, change default passwords, and keep your Smart Home devices updated to prevent cyber threats.

2. Arm/Disarm Your Home Alarm System Remotely

Control your alarm system from anywhere in the world using your smartphone. Explore the different products and features of PhoneWatch House Alarms.

3. Install Smart Plugs for Automation & Energy Savings

Smart plugs let you schedule appliances to turn on and off, which can help reduce energy usage. By turning on lights when you’re away, it can look as if you’re home and warn off burglars.

4. Add Smart Video Doorbell Cameras

See who’s at your door in real-time and communicate remotely, as if you’re home via your alarm app. Video Doorbell Cameras have many more useful features and with PhoneWatch, you can choose to have your doorbell camera monitored in alarm activation events for better security.

5. Install Indoor Motion Cameras and Sensors

Camera Motion Detectors are usually placed near home entrances or in large rooms. When they detect movement inside your home they sound the alarm and take a picture of the incident. PhoneWatch’s alarm receiving centre will respond and dispatch the Gardaí if required. Other indoor sensors includemotion detectors have the same functionality, but don’t take pictures of alarm incidents.

6. Use Outdoor Security Cameras for Continuous Monitoring

You can keep an eye on the exterior of your home with high-definition, weatherproof cameras. Our Outdoor Security Cameras are professionally installed and maintained by us. You can track all activity in your alarm app.

7. Monitor Smoke, Fire, and Temperature Hazards

Smart home devices such as smoke sensors alert you to fire risks before they escalate. PhoneWatch smoke detectors are monitored 24/7 – even when your alarm is off. Smoke & Fire Monitoring is a critical part of our home security offering. Our smoke detectors feature a temperature and humidity sensor that detects small amounts of smoke and sounds the alarm giving you time to leave the house. PhoneWatch typically responds within 15 seconds and will dispatch the fire services if required.

8. Detect Water Leaks and Environmental Hazards

Our Water Leakage Detectors alert you to the early signs of leaks and mould damage, thereby preventing costly water damage in your home.

9. Protect Entry Points with Contact Sensors

Our Contact & Shock Detectors secure doors and windows with sensors that detect unauthorized access. They recognise shock and vibrations and sound the alarm and alert our alarm centre team. They also have a built-in temperature sensor. You can view temperatures of rooms fitted via our app. This feature is especially useful for letting you know if a child’s room temperature is appropriate at bedtime.

10. Centralise Control with the PhoneWatch App

The PhoneWatch App let’s you manage all your smart home devices from one intuitive app. It’s features include remote arming and disarming, alarm automations, temperature control and picture on demand via camera motion detectors.
