More and more Irish people are using smart technology to keep their homes safe, according to new research from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). According to The Irish Examiner, the use of internet-connected security devices has nearly doubled since 2022.
These smart security gadgets include home alarm systems, security cameras, and video doorbells that can be controlled and monitored using smartphones or computers. The dramatic increase shows that Irish homeowners are embracing technology to protect their properties.
But it’s not just about security. The CSO found that people are using all sorts of smart devices more than they did two years ago. Smart TVs and game consoles are becoming more common in Irish homes. Even household chores are getting a high-tech upgrade, with more people using smart vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers.
This trend suggests that Irish households are becoming more connected overall, with technology playing a bigger role in daily life. From entertainment to home maintenance and security, smart devices are changing how people manage their homes.
The CSO’s findings highlight a significant shift in how Irish people think about home technology. As these devices become more affordable and user-friendly, it seems likely that this trend will continue to grow in the coming years.
