How it works at home

Smart Security & CCTV in everyday life

A smart security system is one where the cameras and alarm can talk to the rest of the house. When a conventional alarm goes off, a siren sounds. In a smart system, the lights come on at the same time, a video alert lands on your phone and you can see what is going on from wherever you are.

What goes into a smart security system

  • IP cameras: night-vision cameras for the entrance, garden, parking and indoors.
  • Network video recorder (NVR): footage stored locally on a disk at home, with optional cloud backup.
  • Alarm panel and sensors: door and window contacts, motion detectors and glass-break sensors.
  • Safety sensors: water leak, smoke and gas detectors.
  • Alerts and remote viewing: live view, playback and arming or disarming the alarm from an app.

Example scenarios

Movement in the garden at night

When the garden camera detects movement at night, the garden lights switch on and a short clip arrives on your phone. If it turns out to be a cat or a branch moving in the wind, you can tell from the footage. Person and vehicle detection on the cameras cuts down on pointless alerts.

A leak in the kitchen

If the water sensor behind the dishwasher gets wet, you get a notification. Add a motorised water valve and the mains supply shuts off by itself. This is particularly useful in holiday homes that sit empty for long stretches.

When you are away for months

From abroad you can check the cameras, see whether the alarm is armed and, if needed, switch on lights or open the blinds. For owners who spend part of the year outside Turkey, this is often the main reason to install a system.

Planning a camera system

Wired or Wi-Fi?

For a permanent installation we prefer PoE (Power over Ethernet) cameras, where one network cable carries both power and data. That is more stable than Wi-Fi and there are no batteries to worry about. Wi-Fi or battery cameras can fill gaps where running a cable is difficult.

Where should recordings live?

Keeping footage on a recorder at home means recording continues when the internet drops. Cloud storage adds a backup in case the recorder is stolen or damaged. In most homes, using both is a sensible balance.

Angle and resolution

Where a camera points matters as much as its megapixel count. A camera meant to capture faces at the front door is positioned differently from a wide-angle camera covering the whole garden.

Legal and neighbourly considerations

The basic rule is that you monitor your own property. Cameras that look into a neighbour's window or garden, or onto a public area, can cause legal problems and friction with the neighbours. If you want cameras in shared areas of an apartment building, such as the stairwell or car park, you will need to agree this with the other owners and building management. Turkey's personal data protection law (KVKK) also applies, so we plan camera angles with you before installation.

Working with the rest of the house

Security becomes more useful once it is linked to home automation. Lights switching off and blinds lowering when the alarm is set, or the hallway light coming on when the door opens, can all run on the same system. To see who is at the door and let people in remotely, you can add a video intercom and smart lock to the same setup.

Things to keep in mind

  • Put the recorder and router somewhere that is not easy to reach.
  • Change the default passwords on cameras and apps during installation, every time.
  • Plan for power cuts with a backup battery in the alarm panel and a UPS for the recorder.
  • Outdoor cameras need to be rated for moisture and rain.

How we work

From first visit to handover in four steps

Smart home projects go wrong when decisions get made on the day of installation. So we split the job into clear stages from the start.

  1. 01

    Site survey

    We visit the home or the building site and look at the wiring, windows and heating system. We also ask how you actually live in the space.

  2. 02

    Design

    We put together a written plan: what gets controlled in each room, wired or wireless, and which scenes you want. You review it with us before any work starts.

  3. 03

    Installation & programming

    We fit the devices, program the system and test every scene on site. On renovation jobs we work to the same schedule as your electrician and other trades.

  4. 04

    Training & support

    At handover we walk through the app, the wall panels and the scenes together. If you want to change a scene or add a device later, just get in touch.

Frequently asked questions

Smart Security & CCTV questions

Question not listed? Write to us

Yes, if footage is stored on a recorder at home. Without internet, only remote viewing and notifications stop working.

For shared areas you need to agree it with the other owners and building management. Inside your own flat and on your own property you don't need that, though we still make sure the camera doesn't look onto neighbouring spaces.

You decide which user can access which camera in the app. During installation we change default passwords and limit access to the accounts you set up.
