Smart Home. Wednesday , August 01st , 2018 - 23:40:56 PM
The best part of this new market is that if you are moderately handy or capable of doing some handy work around the house you can set it up and monitor it yourself without too much effort. In order to truly realize the capabilities and energy efficiencies of a smart home there are certain things you should consider before getting started. Where you live, dry climate, humid, temperate etc. What your budget is, not only what you can afford to spend on changes, but also what your highest utility costs are and where you might want to save some money.
On a budget, one cannot expect impervious defenses from hackers or casual snoops. But you must spend some time thinking about security. Step one is to change any default device passwords. Step two is to limit access to your private files from people who don't need it (should as guests). Step three is to install and maintain antivirus software and firewalls on your server andor other devices in the network. Finally, private information should be securing by encrypting it so only the password holder can open it. Consider encrypting all the secure files on your server such as financial and personal information, digital document scans etc. On the flip side, your smart home can be a security asset, not just a risk. With your network ready, LAN or WIFI enabled cameras can be plugged in around your home and setup to stream video to the server. Finally, physically secure your server. It should be kept somewhere safe from damage and thievery.
