HOMESECURITYMONTH
The smart way to
secure your home
» » TODAY, THE ‘SMART, CONNECTED
home’ is the exception. But, in a decade it
will be the norm. The government has already
announced its intention that every new home
built will have to be equipped with a smart
meter and electric car charging points. In
addition to this, major house builders are
already starting to look at fitting smart locks
as standard and as this begins to happen
fabricators and installers alike need to be up to
speed on the latest developments, before it’s
too late.
One of the world leaders in smart wire
free, wireless, cloud and mobile based access
control solutions is SALTO Systems. Every day
in over 90 countries, over 15 million people
use SALTO contactless products to provide
total control over who is able to access
what, where and when. In this Home Security
Month special, Clearview asked Jack Cowburn,
SALTO’s UK Residential Solutions Manager, to
give us his take on the rise of the smart tech
sector, how companies such as his are adapting
to the changing security landscape, what
products are coming, and how we all need to
stay informed to avoid being left behind in the
‘Smart Tech Revolution’.
WHAT IS RESIDENTIAL
SMART TECH?
There’s a lot going on in today’s households:
children coming in from school, dog walkers,
housekeepers, babysitters. Even grocery store
delivery services are now offering the option
to enter your home to put groceries away.
This has driven a need to not only secure your
house but also give people access when needed.
I think another drive stems from the rise of the
smart phone; people now want everything to be
accessed through their personal device. As well
as accessing heating, CCTV and other smart
home devices the security of your home can
now sit alongside this.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES?
The smart home lock ties into all the
smart home technology and allows the user
to have one home solution including their
access encompassed in their own smart
phone. With a smart home lock there is no
need to carry keys around which eliminates

the chances of lost or stolen keys. Remote
keys will allow you to send access to other
users from your mobile device without
having to get extra keys cut; it will also allow
you to cancel keys on the go if you need to
restrict access. Audit trails will let you know
who has entered the house and who has left
the house.
WHAT ARE THE
MISCONCEPTIONS?
I think the main misconception of smart
technology is how secure it is. SALTO and
Danalock use the highest level of encryption
for this kind of data (AES256). Also, because it
retains a euro cylinder this still complies with
home insurance standards. I think the other
main misconception is that smart technology
is expensive. SALTO have proven this wrong
with Danalock which offers an affordable
smart home lock with the most up-to-date
technology.

FROM SALTO
Danalock has four main versions:
Bluetooth, Zig-bee, z-Wave and Apple
home kit. The Z-wave and Zig-bee
models will allow for numerous
integrations with the smart home
platform including Alexa, z-wave enabled
smart home devices and Zigbee devices.
The apple home kit version allows for
an integration direct with the apple
home kit app and other smart apple
devices, whilst the Bluetooth version is
the simplistic stand-alone version.
The UV2 Module enables you to
control garage doors, doorstrikes,
electromechanical or magnetic locks,
gates, windows, shades, etc. Completely
integrated on the Danalock platform,
it enables operation of such locking
devices with your Danalock V3.
The Danalock key turner adapter will
allow for an existing or new double clutch
cylinder to be retained in the door. The
key can then be cut to fit the adapter
meaning the cylinder does not need to be
changed when fitting Danalock.
Danapad is an easy-to-install, wireless,
smart access keypad that enables
homeowners and businesses to manage
secure access for delivery, contractors,
cleaning and pet services, and those
without a smartphone or access to the
smart home system such as children,
elderly residents, visitors or guests.
Danabridge is a gateway to instant
control of your Danalock from anywhere
in the world. Perform remote openings
or see the battery status of your
Danalock in real time from anywhere.
