Moving with the times:
Criminals are always adapting their skills, honing their techniques to evade and try and bluff their way past modern security systems, so it’s essential that modern smart home security features continue to evolve too.
Somfy’s technology has recently benefited from two giant leaps forward, with updates to the Somfy Protect App for Somfy protect cameras that can be installed and updated for both new and existing customers.
Video Recording:
When it comes to keeping burglars at bay, CCTV cameras are an undoubted deterrent. In a survey of former criminals, they placed cameras right up there with guard dogs among the things most likely to make them avoid a property.
But it’s not enough for a camera to just see an intruder, the evidence needs to be preserved for the police and for possibly insurance purposes. Unlike with many other systems on the market, the new update means that when movement is detected, a video recording lasting 30 seconds can be downloaded for up to the next seven days. What’s more, the service is completely free of charge for Somfy customers.

For complete ease of use, the update means the videos can now also be uploaded and downloaded directly from Dropbox, Google Drive and Onedrive, letting you preserve them easily for future use in a way that enables you to share and download them easily.
