has been working behind the scenes for some time to develop a comprehensive smart security range. The aim was to provide installers with a comprehensive range of products that covers all aspects of smart home security, is simple to install and operate and offers them an ideal opportunity to make the most of the huge rise in demand for smart home products that shows no sign of abating. Marketed under the brand name Fort, the


complete range of smart security products, which includes intruder alarms, video doorbell, video security light, sensors and a selection of 1080p cameras, will all operate under a single APP – the ‘Click Smart+’ APP – which will be completely subscription-free, with no additional fees incurred. By bringing the operation of the new Fort range under the well-established, tried and tested Click Smart+ APP from Scolmore, users will have control of a raft of connected home and security products all from one secure, easy to access platform. The Fort Smart Security range has at its core


accessibility and simplicity for both the installer and end user and has been designed to bring simple, smart solutions together for a safer and more comfortable home. The Fort smart security range features contemporary styling and has been designed to be simple to install, maintain and use and provide a hassle-free security solution. At the heart of the Fort smart security range is


the smart intruder alarm, which will support up to 32 RF devices and provide remote monitoring and alert notifications directly to the Click Smart+ APP. The smart alarm is available in handy kits or can be purchased as separate devices for a tailor-made system. The Wi-Fi Smart Alarm Hub includes an inbuilt


siren, backup battery with up to eight hours standby time and GSM backup facility (Sim not included) for additional system security. The Hub is compatible with a range of battery powered RF devices that can be controlled to provide whole home security in and around a property. In addition, the Fort range includes Wi- Fi security devices such as a video doorbell, video security light and a selection of 1080p cameras, all of which are supported on the same APP and do not require any additional


subscription fees other than a Wi-Fi connection. The Fort range also offers a range of security


devices that does not require a hub. By connecting directly to Wi-Fi, the various devices add an additional layer of security to your property. The range security devices include a video doorbell to monitor visitors, security flood lights with inbuilt cameras to deter intruders at night and a range of simple to use cameras for a range of applications, such as monitoring loved ones and pets or simply to provide reassurance whilst monitoring your property.


As the pandemic recedes… The perennial


key drivers for smart home adoption – such as security, convenience and energy


saving, will continue to exert their influence.


ESP believes a key element to the projected


success of the new security range is its subscription-free APP. Unlike some systems on the market which will provide a free basic system, but charge for additional devices and


functions, users of the Fort smart security system, powered by Click Smart+, will have full access to all devices and functions with no subscription fee or hidden costs to pay. The APP provides an easy-to-use platform to remotely arm and disarm the system, whilst producing real time events such as activations and low battery indication status. In addition, the APP supports a range of Click Smart+ home automation products which enables a range of sockets and switches to be activated in certain system scenarios. Neil Baldwin, continued: “We have seen the


market for home security solutions grow enormously in recent years, fuelled by the rapid development in new technology, as well as a demand from end users for solutions to keep their families and properties secure. “We believe our Fort smart security range will


challenge some of the operators in the marketplace. The fact that users can access and control all Fort smart security devices, as well as the Click Smart+ smart home devices, all under one easy to use and subscription-free APP will make it an attractive proposition for installers and end users. For the wholesaler, it adds another potential revenue stream, in the form of a comprehensive new security range from a supplier with a longstanding reputation within the security products sector.”
