China's home security market has long transcended basic notifications and is rapidly advancing in the fields of intelligence, scenario-based solutions, and data value mining. Leveraging the world's largest security industry chain, a mature AIoT ecosystem, and immense user demand, the industry is forging ahead along three core paths: smarter algorithms, more seamless interactions, and deeper scenario penetration, establishing a globally leading competitive advantage.

Diversified product functions

The core value of home security in China has long since evolved from basic "high-definition pixels," "remote viewing," "motion detection alarm," and "voice intercom" to a deeper understanding of users, proactive adaptation to specific scenarios, and personalized services. Home security applications are specifically targeted at four core user groups: young people, the elderly, infants and children, and families with pets.

Targeting young groups, in terms of functionality, many companies are targeting "multiple interactions" as the product's explosive point, such as deep interaction with natural voice, multiple control methods, rich intelligent scene linkage, and even integrated simple entertainment or information broadcasting functions.

For example, Huiruitong 's "Rock" and "Lingdong" smart home solutions use "intelligent scene prediction algorithms" to enable the system to perceive user needs in advance and automatically switch home scene modes, seamlessly connecting the entire process from waking up to sleeping, achieving a convenient experience of "knowing before action and being intelligent first".

For the elderly, safety and security are a fundamental need, and health care is a growing trend. Smart security systems for this group need to deeply incorporate "age-friendly" elements.

For example, biometric smart door locks solve the problem of forgotten keys and passwords; millimeter-wave radar technology enables contactless, high-precision fall detection and alarms; AI behavioral recognition algorithms analyze the daily activities of the elderly and provide early warnings for risky behaviors such as prolonged restroom stays, unusual wandering, and prolonged bed rest; and one-touch emergency call functionality is essential. Furthermore, vital sign monitoring, such as heart rate and respiration monitoring through contactless sensors, is also being integrated.

Currently, the industry is experiencing a surge in interest in the smart healthcare market . Whether it's smart home companies like Leelin and Anjubao, burglar alarm system manufacturers like Haowen and Alian, or tech companies with a presence in robotics like UBTECH, nearly all have already made moves in the healthcare market .

Smart care is key for infants and young children. Product functionality requirements focus on cry/noise detection, sleep quality analysis (with reminders for turning over or kicking the blanket), heart rate/blood oxygen monitoring, virtual safety fences (to prevent entry into dangerous areas), and temperature and humidity monitoring. AI algorithms can distinguish the meaning of different cries (hungry, sleepy, uncomfortable) and send notifications, significantly reducing caregiver stress. Companies like Haima Daddy, Juzhi Technology , EZVIZ, and Lecheng have all launched products specifically tailored to this need.

Pet families are experiencing strong demand for both safety and companionship. Pet camera products have evolved to include high-definition observation, remote voice interaction, automatic feeding, integration with smart feeders, AI pet behavior recognition, preliminary AI health checks, behavioral or visual analysis of abnormal conditions, and lost pet recovery. Pet cameras from Xiaomi and Haipuu are experiencing impressive sales on e-commerce platforms.

Closed-loop application of data collection

In addition to its functionality, the value of home security equipment is also building a closed loop from "data collection to intelligent analysis to value application."

Security equipment can be seamlessly linked with lighting, door locks, sensors, air conditioners, curtains, audio and video entertainment devices, etc., to achieve complex and seamless scenario-based experiences such as "one-click arming and shutting down electrical appliances when leaving home", "automatically lighting up path lights when getting up late at night", and "automatically disarming the alarm and turning on the air conditioner when recognizing family members returning home".

In addition, some platforms can generate periodic "family activity reports" for users, such as information on the elderly's sleep and rest patterns and pet activity levels, to help users better understand the status of their families. With full user authorization and privacy protection, this data can be used to coordinate responses with smart home insurance, community security services, and emergency rescue services.

It is obvious that China's home security equipment is no longer just an independent product, but is increasingly becoming the core perception and execution hub of the smart home ecosystem. Interaction has also developed from early mobile phone app control to today's voice control, touch screen device , automated scene triggering, and even combined with body sensation and gestures, making security protection and care services within reach when needed and silently in place at other times.

Conclusion

Today, Chinese security manufacturers are no longer content with simply "telling what's happening" but are committed to "understanding what it means" and "what they can do for users." It's worth affirming that, thanks to a deep understanding of local user needs and a strong industry chain, Chinese home security is accelerating towards a smarter, more intimate, more seamless, and more valuable future.
