Usually I talk about design and interior inspiration here on the blog and when I show pictures of our home it’s usually of how I updated our apartment in a way that makes it feel cozy and personal. Feeling at home has a lot to do with character you give to a space and with the way you make a place your own. It has to do with the pieces of furniture you feel fit your style but a good home makes you feel safe as well. Safety is probably one of the most important factors in a home. When you don’t feel safe, nothing else really matters in my opinion. So when Bosch Smart Home asked me if I wanted to try out some of their Smart Home products I immediately got excited.

We are trying out the 360° Indoorcamera for a week now and I can truly say that it ads an extra level of security when leaving the house. When the camera is switched on (which you can conveniently do from the Bosch Smart Camera app) it will detect any motion and will send a notification to our phones. When we receive a notification we can check wether it’s our cleaning aid or if it’s really something we need to worry about. The camera has an elegant and minimal design and the lens will go down into the cover whenever the camera is turned off.

While we are travelling for longer periods of time it will really give me a good feeling if I can check upon the house every once in a while. For pet owners it can be nice to check on their pets while they are at work. You can even talk to your pet via a built in intercom when necessary. There is an outdoor version of the camera as well, which can be used to check out the front door when you are home alone for example.

While we are gone in the evening, or while travelling, we can also turn on the mood lights in our home with the Smart plugs. Just like the camera, the plugs can be turned on via the app, which is a nice feature even while at home. When we will be travelling for longer though, we will just set them up to turn on and off at a certain time so that it will seam like we someone is home.
