The three steps of the network planning technique are network realization, network synthesis, and topological design.When constructing a network, it’s also crucial to consider security, network applications, availability, traffic requirements, and accessibility. • Determining the network’s logical and physical design The physical and logical design of the network are used to create network architecture.Physical design is the organization of network applications/devices such as hubs, PCs, routers, and switches.Logical design is a description of conceptual network design (data flows, IP structures). The way of communication that connects two computers connected to a network is known as the logical layout of a…
Automation, actuators, app, Bluetooth, controller, digital assistants, geofence, hub, IFTTT, IP, modules, network, protocol, sensors, smart devices, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave are some of the smart home terminology related with the topic’s scope.These terminologies are briefly defined here. The communication of devices controlled by a central hub and accessible remotely via a smart phone is referred to as automation. Automation creates scenarios and adheres to regular habits such as morning and night rituals. Actuators are designed to do activities in response to data provided by sensors, either manually or automatically. In the smart home, an app is a piece of…

Motion detection is a great tool for analyzing a scene and sending alerts when motion occurs. But it’s prone to false alarms because let’s face it, there are a lot of things in a scene that can move: a tree branch blowing in the wind, a stray cat, things that aren’t truly a threat. Smart Motion Detection (SMD) is an advanced technology that mitigates false alarms and keeps your security operations running efficiently. But how does SMD really work? Let’s find out. Put the Algorithm to Work A deep learning algorithm lets SMD differentiate between human and vehicular shapes within a scene,…
The main difference between wired and wireless alarm systems generally comes down to installation scenario and cost.Generally, wired and wireless alarm systems offer the same features – the only difference is that one system is powered over cable, while the other is powered over bettery. It is typically cheaper to use a wired system if you are pre-wiring a house or have easy access to run cables. However, if a technician is unable to run cabling on your property, you will need to use a wireless alarm. While the hardware costs are more expensive, labour costs are lower. Wireless Alarms…
