  1. I was having a conversation yesterday, about the future of the security industry etc. It seems IMO we have become a little stuck in our ways to the point of being massivly behind the times. We (well i do) moan that we were once seen as a skilled and specialist industry and this isnt really the case anymore. ie what was the last revolutionary product we had. id say that fogging is coming more to the fore, but this isnt really new more an evolution of an existing idea. Where are we going? is it into integration and automation or is that just a dream that the DIY automation manufactures will control via amazon, or something apple will release? I personally feel the future is with more interconnection, ie i want to use my phone to be able to see at a glace what is happening, if i so wanted hook it into my twitter feed and my facebook status. Who will make the first social networking aware product? I dont mean send that my alarm is now disamed and im down the pub, but why cant it collect my emails for me, my friend requests so i can sort them easily. We have internet enabled fridges for gods sake, why are we so behind the times. Why cant we use IP and WIFI anfd Bluetooth and Zigbee for interconnections, they are good enough for the rest of the world..... but not us? Are we that special? I remember a member on here once said that we could offer advertising supported systems using these new (at the time) touch screen keypads, like google and iphone apps that are free with advertising. He may have been 5 years ahead of his peers, including me as i though he was mad. I would say he was spot on, the mobile phone market has proved the model. Many people are prepared to take a free or subsadised product as long as they can make that choice, why not So to recap i Have an android smartphone, that can show me the weather at home, the weather at work, i can get live cctv images from any place i choose (assuming i have a compatible dvr), i can update tsi, twitter and facebook, i can take a HD video of my little girl playing. Hell i can even talk to people on it. But what about my expensive professionally installed security system..... what can i actually do with that. I can..... wait for it...... turn it on....... and i can even turn it off. Wow I want info, i want integration, i want it to run my security lighting, interface with my heating system, tell me my gas is running low in the lpg tank. That i havnt armed the garage, the front door isnt locked and my internet enabled fridge has a compressor fault. But sadly ill just part set it for tonight as thats about its lot.
