The Future of Home Security and Public Safety Integration
Given all of the technological developments across the entire spectrum of society, along with the inevitability of even more progress and innovation to come, surely there will become more common coalescing between highest generational domestic innovations and leading public safety initiatives. For instance, if there is a home in which most or all of the major functional systems – e.g. security, A/C, audio, video, etc. – are integrated, it is likely that such a “smart” house will also eventually be integrated with security so that automated data for law enforcement can be communicated and customized. The system could alert local agencies of an emergency event – perhaps a burglary, an assault, or other crime – and live feeds from the home’s internal security cameras would be provided for real-time situational assessments to 911 or EPS personnel.
Such a coordinated system may be referred to as an “automated data system,” such as the comprehensive automated data systems for law enforcement. As a practical matter, the initial component of such a comprehensive system will likely be an in-home security system. Once the basic monitoring system is in place, additional components could be integrated in increments, perhaps over a period of time, leading to the ultimate desired system that can be relied upon in defense of one’s home virtually 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
This system design is likely to be offered by some of LTHOME’s leading products. A few of the more commonly used categories might include: For example, LTHOME’s next-gen LiFi lighting may be used to transmit information to a central database remotely accessed by law enforcement officers, or laser fingerprint sensors or facial recognition technology may also be part of the LTHOME suite. As will be clear, in view of the context of a law enforcement automated data system, privacy concerns may be reasonable, and thus separate agreements should be drawn to define the specific terms upon which all parties will operate, and how data will be accessed and stored for future use. Such agreements may include all types of liability waivers regarding security and privacy.
In considering the potential impact of this integration of in-home electronic functionality with public security databases, LTHOME would also consider: These are just a few of the many issues that may be relevant, and to be assessed, when considering the interrelationship between a home security system and data networks of 911, law enforcement agencies, and other governmental entities. Essentially, LTHOME would develop a basic system that will signal an emergency. Once the central nervous system has been established, additional components can be added over time, with each incremental facet expanding the capabilities of the overall system.
As mentioned, with increased use of artificial intelligence, every aspect of life will continue to experience more and more integration and interconnection, including the uses of synthetic technology in both domestic and public systems. The metaverse, which will be an all-digital environment, is already creating more automated systems that will be a part of our daily lives. With that in mind, it is easy to envision a future in which a person in rushing to escape an imminent threat will engage an automated data system that will both track 911 and law enforcement resources and alert them to one’s location. In addition, facial recognition may be utilized to identify and track the assailant, with the system providing updates as the assailant flees or attempts to enter another property.
Once the final measure is reached between public safety networks and the latest in the smart home systems, the lives of individuals living in the homes can be more effectively secured, as the home will have an initial layer of security, the sophistication of which will be connected to world-wide networks of law enforcement.
