Philips Home Safety 5000 series: Key features
The Philips Home Safety 5000 series is the world-first home safety range featuring non-line-of-sight-motion sensors that detect presence without being hindered by blind spots or interference from walls or other objects. It uses the combined Wi-Fi and thread sensing technology.
Thread is a wireless standard that enables smart home devices to work together through a mesh network without requiring a third-party hub or service.
These motion sensors which are developed by Versuni in partnership with artificial intelligence of things (‘AIoT’) company Nami, can detect motions in homes in real-time without needing a camera in every room.
The sensing technology is powered by machine learning algorithms and can filter out vacuum bots and pets, as well as detecting human presence. Unlike traditional PIR motion sensors, they are immune to high temperature impact or sunlight rays.
The Philips Home Safety camera and sensors are hub-free which makes them easy and quick to install. The digital motion sensing software is embedded in a smart plug for minimum intrusion and visibility, a pack of three sensors and a door sensor that can create a zone of up to 1.500 sq ft, which can be extended by adding more sensors or additional zones.
The dedicated Philips Home Safety app provides users 24/7 control and insights into their home security from anywhere. Thanks to dual storage capabilities, the cameras and doorbell record locally to an SD card, and can also back up the content to the cloud. Should the Wi-Fi drop, the smart home devices will continue to record locally. End-to-end encryption of equal standard as those trusted by banks guarantees the safe preservation of recordings.
The 360-degree indoor camera claims to offer 2K clarity and enhanced night vision. It will also be able to do various activities like pan, tilt, motion tracking.
