Choosing Smart Security Solutions
Pick the system that will run everything first, then add cameras, sensors and door control that report to the same app. Hikvision supplies the most products here, across AX PRO alarms, video intercom, access control and cameras.
Alarm systems you run from an app
The ESP Fort ECSPHB hub and the ECSPK3, ECSPK5 and ECSPK6 kits are Wi-Fi enabled with GSM backup and have a backup battery giving up to 8 hours standby. The Ajax KIT18 S is built on a Hub2 Plus. The Hikvision DS-PWA64-L-WE panel connects over LAN, Wi-Fi and GPRS, and the Pyronix ENF/KIT1-UK has a two-way wireless panel with a DIGI-Wi-Fi communicator.
Cameras without cables
Where there is no power or Wi-Fi, the EZVIZ EB8 connects over 4G LTE from a 10,400 mAh battery and pans and tilts for wide coverage. The Pyronix BatteryCam2 kit pairs a 3MP battery camera with a USB-C SolarPanel2, and the EZVIZ LC3 combines a 4MP camera with a wall light of up to 700 lumens.
Doors and gates
The Hikvision DS-KIS604-P(C) video intercom kit pairs a 2MP PoE door station with a 7-inch touch monitor and supports remote unlocking. For a gate, the Optimus E1K 4G intercom forwards calls to up to 3 numbers and has relays and auxiliary inputs for automated doors, gates and barriers.
Sensors beyond intruders
The GJD D-TECT 50 IP is a PoE perimeter PIR that integrates with VMS and camera systems. The Aico Ei1020 and Ei1025 report temperature and humidity, the Ei1025 adding CO₂, to an Ei1000G Gateway.

Frequently asked questions
What are smart security solutions?
Smart security solutions are alarms, cameras, door entry and access control that connect to the internet and report to an app. An event such as a door opening or a person on camera can trigger a phone alert, a recording or a remote unlock. Many systems can be armed, viewed and managed away from the property. The range here includes app-controlled alarm kits, cameras, video intercoms and access control terminals.
How is a smart security system installed?
Many smart alarm kits are wireless, so the hub connects to power and the internet and the detectors pair with it through an app, which suits a DIY fit. Wired cameras, door stations and access control usually need cable runs and an installer, and a monitored or insurer-approved system often needs a qualified engineer. The range here includes app-paired alarm kits and PoE door stations.
How do I choose smart security products?
Start with the platform that will run the system, because detectors, sirens and keypads usually pair with hubs of their own family rather than with other makers' panels. Then add cameras, door control and sensors that work in the same app, and check how the devices connect, such as Wi-Fi, 4G or PoE. The range here includes Ajax, Hikvision AX PRO, Pyronix, Texecom and ESP Fort alarm systems.
What smart security suits a business?
A business usually needs smart security that can grow and be managed centrally. That often means a graded intruder alarm with app control and monitoring, network cameras with AI detection, and access control that records who enters. Face recognition terminals, card readers and video intercoms can tie into one management platform. The range here includes access control terminals, card readers and AI network cameras.
How do smart home security systems work?
A smart home security system links its hub, cameras and sensors to the internet through the home router or a mobile SIM. When a sensor or camera detects something, the hub raises the alarm and the app sends a notification, so the owner can watch live video, talk through a camera or disarm remotely. The range here includes Wi-Fi cameras, a 4G battery camera and app-controlled alarm hubs.
