Smart & Secure: The Future Of Garage Door Technology
When it comes to storing your vehicle at home, safety and security are often top priorities, where recent developments in garage door technologies have made it harder for break-ins to take place. Garage doors are now available in a traditional manual format or a more modern electric design.
But the garage door industry is a place of fast-moving technological innovation, where many design and engineering bodies are looking to create the next best thing in garage security. Read on for an insight into some of the newest developments in garage door technology.
Solar Panel Doors
Electric cars and home charging points have become a regular feature of the automotive industry in recent years, but the next best thing will be a garage door that has all your electric car needs incorporated into its design. These doors will have external solar panels that gather energy from the sun during the day, and then charge your parked car overnight. Any excess energy can then be used to power your home, or be fed back into the national grid.
Smart Doors
Smart home technology has seen a number of developments in recent years, where new products will add your garage door to your network of domestic gadgets. These doors will be controlled by a centralised home security app, where you can open or lock your garage door from your phone, or schedule your door to open when you’re nearby, using a GPS locator.
Digital Doors
One garage door innovation that is a little further off is a secure and sturdy door with a surface glass digital front, where the external part of the door consists of a multi-purpose screen that can project news or weather information as well as security updates as you approach. A similar hologram design could project an image of a shut garage door even when it is left open, in order to deter thieves.
Integrated Security
If you’re investing in a new garage door then it is likely that security is one of your top priorities. As such technological advancements in garage doors are geared towards safety improvements, where invisible cameras or alarms are built into the door itself. Alternatively the door will contain a smart sensor that can recognise you or your car, making it impossible for an unknown party to break in.
