There are a large number of homes across North America that have been hardwired with security systems that are now outdated, so the 'Konnected' alarm panel looks to help bring them into the 21st century.

The 'Konnected' unit works by being used to replace your existing alarm keypad, which instantly adds a series of modern functionalities without having to pay high costs to big companies. This instantly makes your home smarter and eliminates monthly fees that can come with traditional security companies to keep your costs as low as possible.

The 'Konnected' alarm panel also works with the Samsung SmartThings network and will offer Home Assistant integration in the near future. This makes it a simple solution to create a smart home in an instant without high price tags.
