Home Security, Monitoring and Automation (SMA) is not only for customers seeking to keep track of potential intruders. What's happening inside the home can be equally important, if not more so, when customers are seeking to monitor the wellbeing of their homebound sick or elderly family members. With baby boomers growing older—and living longer than previous generations—there are millions of elderly Americans who wish to continue living independently, but require some assistance in times of need.

uControl provides an inexpensive alternative to in-home care or assisted living. A combination of window, door and motion sensors allows relatives to "check in" remotely to assess recent activity or non-activity. Sensors also allow for the monitoring of medicine cabinets and pillboxes. Live video feeds and pictures offer additional safety and peace of mind. Remote lighting and thermostat control ensure comfort. Emergency pendants allow an independent senior to sound an alert when assistance is needed. All of these features, bundled with a home security service, make it easy for elderly family members to remain independent and enjoy their golden years. In addition, your customers are happy to pay for the service, as they stand to save exponentially compared to the cost of in-home care.
