”And that means more than security. Of its clients, 85 percent employ some “smart home component,” Boyce said. That could include the ability to disarm the home alarm, lock a door, or look at security camera footage via a cellphone. But increasingly, Boyce said, smart home
components include the ability to adjust components like lighting, heating and air conditioning, and appliances and devices. Defenders projects up to 97 percent of its clients will have some form of smart home technology within 12 months. “We think the
residential security business will continue to grow and the growth will accelerate because there will be more smart home components,” Boyce said.
The keypad, also available in black or white and powered by four standard AA batteries, sees the biggest design improvement, with a 2. 5 inch LCD replacing a tiny monochrome screen. Nicely sized, round backlit rubber buttons replace the tiny oval ones on the old keypad. A proximity sensor is a nice touch, illuminating the keypad for nighttime use. The larger screen also makes the system setup process much easier, since you just pair all the components using easy step through menus on the display. Each component has a small button you press to pair it with the system.
