LG Smart Security Is An All-In-One Home Monitoring Solution

LG has combined home monitoring and automation in an all-in-one solution that it called LG Smart Security, it says the device provides 24/7 professional monitoring as well as the convenience of a central hub for controlling other smart devices. It’s positioned towards people looking for augmented security with easy setup and no long term contract. LG has teamed up with ADT to ensure that users have round-the-clock professional security.

LG Smart Security is the first consumer product that’s secured by ADT Canopy which is a new security-as-a-service offering from one of the world’s leading providers of security solutions, ADT. This partnership will allow users to add the 24/7 professional monitoring solution to their Smart Security device.

It features a 5 megapixel camera capable of recording in 1080p HD and also provides digital zoom capability with a 152 degrees field of view, LG says that it has one of the widest-view lenses in the home security market enabling users to easily monitor entire rooms without any fisheye distortion.

ADT Canopy is a separate option for this plug-and-play device which gives users the peace of mind that a response team is ready to take action in the event of an emergency. There’s no long-term contract as Canopy has a monthly subscription model which starts at $19.99 per month.

It also doubles as a central hub for connected objects and has support for popular wireless formats including Z-wave, Zigbee, BLE and Wi-Fi, which means that it’s already compatible with quite a lot of smart home devices available in the market today.

LG Smart Security is going to be released in the United States in early 2016.
