As a part of the research for this module i thought that now would be a good time to go through some slight competitor analysis research, this is for me to see what other digital home products are being widely used and what i can learn from each of them to try and gather inspiration for the idea that i am going to come up with.
The Ring Doorbell is a smart security device that allows all homeowners that owns one to watch and talk to visitors at their door through a mobile app. It features a built-in camera, microphone, and motion sensors, which have real time video and two way audio. This means users can see and talk to whoever is at their door, whether they are home or not. The device connects to Wi-Fi, allowing remote access through smartphones, tablets.
One of the key reasons the Ring Doorbell is effective is its motion detection and video recording. When someone approaches the door, the device sends an instant alert to the user's phone. Even if the visitor does not press the doorbell, the motion sensors can detect movement, which helps to make sure that homeowners are aware of any activity near their entrance.

It integrates with a wide range of compatible smart products like lights, security cameras, door locks, and more. The system is primarily controlled using the Apple Home app and it can be managed using Siri voice commands.
One of the key strengths of the Apple Home Kit is its strong focus on privacy and security. Unlike some other smart home systems. The Apple devices communicate through high end encryption, meaning your data remains secure and private. Apple also requires all Home Kit enabled devices to meet strict security standards, which helps in reducing the risk of hacks or unauthorised access. This makes it one of the safest smart home platforms available.
