Your Property, Watched Around the Clock
IoT sensors, thermal imaging, drone roof inspections and traffic-light alerts — failures caught months before they become emergencies, even when you're 10,000 miles away.
Unmonitored properties lose 8–12% of their value every year through deferred maintenance and tenant damage — and minor issues become major failures while you're abroad. You can't hear a water pipe cracking from London or Houston. Our sensor network can.
Every reading below lands in one dashboard with traffic-light status, and any red or amber event reaches you by SMS, WhatsApp and email.
The Technology Stack
| Layer | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Sensing | IoT sensors — water pressure, temperature, humidity, vibration | Continuous data collection from critical building systems |
| Visual | IP cameras (fixed and PTZ) plus an annual drone survey | Visual monitoring, roof inspection and perimeter security |
| Electrical | Thermal imaging camera (FLIR or equivalent) and smart meter | Detect overheating, overloading and consumption anomalies |
| Structural | Crack gauges for high-value assets, plus periodic visual inspection | Detect settlement, cracking and water ingress |
| Data | Cloud-based dashboard, accessible via browser or app | All data consolidated with traffic-light status and alerts |
| Alerting | SMS, WhatsApp and email | Immediate notification on any red or amber event |
The Monitoring Schedule — System by System
| System | Frequency | Method | Escalation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water (leak / pressure) | Continuous (sensor) + quarterly (manual) | IoT pressure sensor + visual inspection | Red: shut-off valve activated and you're notified within 1 hour |
| Electrical | Monthly (smart meter data) + semi-annual thermal imaging | Load monitoring + infrared camera | Red: circuit isolated, electrician dispatched within 24 hours |
| Roof / Envelope | Quarterly (visual) + annual (drone) | Drone + visual inspection | Amber: scheduled repair within 7 days. Red: emergency tarp and repair within 48 hours |
| Structural | Semi-annual (visual) + annual (detailed) | Crack gauges + visual inspection | Amber: monitoring increased. Red: structural engineer called in within 48 hours |
| HVAC | Monthly (filter check) + annual (full service) | Manual checks + energy consumption tracking | Amber: filter replaced. Red: compressor fault repaired within 72 hours |
| Security | Continuous (CCTV) + monthly access-log review | IP cameras + access control | Red: immediate alert and security company notified |
Predictive, Not Reactive
How prediction works
- 1
Baseline
At handover or onboarding we record baseline readings for every system — water pressure, electrical load, temperature and more.
- 2
Trend Detection
Monthly data is compared against baseline. Deviations above threshold trigger an amber alert.
- 3
Failure Prediction
For pumps, AC compressors and water heaters we track performance degradation over time. A pump losing 2% efficiency a month will fail in about 6 months — we schedule replacement before it does.
- 4
Seasonal Pre-Emption
Before the long rains (March–May) and short rains (October–December) we proactively inspect roofs, gutters, drainage and waterproofing. We don't wait for the first leak.
The goal
- Extend asset life by 5–10 years
- Reduce emergency repair costs by 70%+
- Eliminate the "I found out about the leak 3 months after it started" scenario
