Abstract
Recent advances in the areas of wireless communication and sensors led to a decline in prices for smart technologies while devices became more powerful and reliable. Yet, the deployment as well as the functional range of sensor and wireless communication technology in residential buildings is still limited. In a possible application scenario for these technologies, home safety devices like smoke detectors, motion detectors, and burglary alarm systems are equipped with
wireless communication modules, thus making them a part of the Internet of Things. This means that safety devices (the "Things") in the physical world can communicate amongst each other and get integrated with the digital world of the Internet. The paper at hand discusses the role of smart prevention technologies within this emerging domain using the example of smoke detectors. The research gives an overview of costs, barriers for wide-spread use, and success factors of "smart smoke detectors" and proposes an infrastructure for smart prevention technology. Due to their natural interest in loss prevention, the paper also focuses on the relevance of smart prevention technology for insurance companies. The research examines the role of smart prevention technology within the Internet of Things from various angles and therefore represents an overview of this emerging topic that prepares the ground for future research
