Home automation or smart home (also known as domotics) is building automation for the home.

It involves the control and automation of lighting, heating (such as smart thermostats), ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and security, as well as home appliances such as washer/dryers, ovens or refrigerators/freezers.

Wi-Fi is often used for remote monitoring and control.

Home devices, when remotely monitored and controlled via the Internet, are an important constituent of the Internet of Things.

Modern systems generally consist of switches and sensors connected to a central hub sometimes called a "gateway" from which the system is controlled with a user interface that is interacted either with a wall-mounted terminal, mobile phone software, tablet computer or a web interface, often but not always via Internet cloud services.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusion – unauthorized entry – into a building or area.

Security alarms are used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties for protection against burglary (theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection against intruders.

Car alarms likewise protect vehicles and their contents.

Prisons also use security systems for control of inmates.

A lock is a mechanical or electronic fastening device that is released by a physical object (such as a key, keycard, fingerprint, RFID card, security token etc), by supplying secret information (such as a keycode or password), or by a combination thereof.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.

It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point to point (P2P), point to multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links.

Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring such as bars, banks, casinos, schools, hotels, airports, hospitals, restaurants, military installations, convenience stores and other areas where security is needed.

Videotelephony is seldom called "CCTV" but the use of video in distance education, where it is an important tool, is often so called.
