Home8 has introduced its new Smart Garage Starter Kit, featuring the Shuttle intelligent hub with a built-in siren, HD camera and garage door opener. The platform is made to allow users to visually check in on their garages as well as open and close their garage doors via the Home8 mobile app.

“Garages remain an enticing target for burglars as it gives them quick access to goods or can be used as an entry point into the actual home itself,” stated Daniel Wong, Worldwide Vice President of MivaTek, Home8’s parent company.

“Garages remain an enticing target for burglars as it gives them quick access to goods or can be used as an entry point into the actual home itself,” he continued.

“Our Garage Door Starter Kit serves a dual purpose by taking steps to help prevent break-ins, while at the same time giving users exclusive smart features that can be used for practical, everyday living.”

The Home8 Garage Starter Kit Includes:

• Shuttle Intelligent Hub: The Shuttle intelligent hub serves as an integrated bridge and smart controller, providing wireless access between a user’s devices and the Home8 cloud. It creates a closed network, protecting data with bank-level encryption and anti-sniffing technology, so that only users and those they authorize can access the Home8 system. The Shuttle is also equipped with a 110db built-in siren and 4GB of memory storage.
• Mini Cube HD Camera: The Mini Cube HD camera features motion detection, night-vision and 2-way audio. A ball-and-socket mount can be used to swivel the camera in any direction.
• Garage Door Opener: The Home8 garage door opener pairs with the Shuttle and the existing garage opening system to give users remote access.
• Mobile App: The Home8 mobile app allows users to stream live video and open and close the garage door remotely.
