About 9DOTs
9DOTs is an integrated smart home device that is the first in Japan to feature a proactive AI agent. It consolidates over 50 functions, including intercom, appliance control, HEMS, and security. The AI autonomously proposes optimal actions based on the situation, enhancing convenience, safety, and comfort for residents. It also addresses challenges for real estate businesses by improving management efficiency and reducing construction costs.
A key advantage of these new functions is that they can be activated immediately without any construction. Existing 9DOTs users can simply subscribe to the optional services directly from their device’s screen. Unlike typical home security services that often require professional installation and incur high initial and monthly fees, these 9DOTs options provide immediate access to security and SOS features at a reasonable monthly cost.
Background and Challenges
Residential intrusion crimes, such as burglaries and illegal entry, continue to be a concern, with an increasing number of incidents involving single residents and elderly individuals at home. There is also a growing demand for immediate notification in emergencies, whether at home or away, due to sudden illness or encountering suspicious individuals. To address these societal issues, Glamo developed these two new functions, aiming to provide a comprehensive security solution centered around 9DOTs.
Security Function: 550 yen/month (tax included)
By simply activating the security mode, 9DOTs automatically monitors the home while residents are away. Upon detecting an intrusion, it immediately sends a notification to the user’s smartphone, allowing for real-time video confirmation and remote alarm operation, all from a single smartphone.
Key features include:
-
Intrusion detection with immediate smartphone notification and automatic recording.
-
Sequential automatic calling to up to three emergency contacts.
-
Real-time on-site confirmation and remote operation via video call.
-
Easy activation and deactivation through the app or the device itself.
SOS Function: 330 yen/month (tax included)
In an emergency, pressing a single SOS button automatically dials pre-registered emergency contacts. The call content is automatically recorded and saved, allowing for later review of the situation.
Key features include:
-
One-button automatic calling to emergency contacts and call recording.
-
Sequential automatic calling to up to three emergency contacts.
-
An optional feature to automatically unlock the front door (available only for properties equipped with Glamo smart locks).
