Connected alarm: better security uptime

Most residential security alarms are connected with the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) to a central alarming system. However, cheap GSM jammers are now widely available on the internet, making burglar intrusion much too easy. Sigfox provides a back-up connectivity to ensure alarm transmissions to security companies in the event the primary GSM is jammed. A reliable security system enables insurance companies to curb the cost of theft insurance.

Connected smoke detectors: better uptime and fire alerts management

Smoke detectors are a critical life saving device that must be operational in the event of a fire. IoT connected smoke detectors transmit functional information through the Sigfox network and can send real-time alerts. Alerts can be configured to phone calls, SMS, and emails, informing property owners a smoke detector is malfunctioning or any security provider to handle a smoke detection alert. A reliable smoke detector and a solution to better react in case of fire enable the reduction of fire related insurance claims.

Car thieves using GSM jammers to steal vehicles have met their match with Sigfox IoT trackers. Because Sigfox uses radio signals that can’t be jammed, trackers will always transmit GPS coordinates without any interference if a theft occurs. Sigfox enabled trackers facilitates collaboration between insurance companies, security providers, and the police to recover stolen cars, motorcycles, lorries, utility vehicles, bicycles, and just about anything with wheels. IoT tracking solutions have a positive financial implication for insurance companies and offset cost of customer premiums.

An IoT thermic flow solution detects water leaks anywhere within a property’s plumbing system. In the unfortunate event of a water leak, a real-time alert is sent to the property owner’s phone or email. Early detection of water leaks can reduce the impact of water damages thus insurance claims.
