Ken Hall installed a small security camera in his home when his daughter Gracie was born.

"It's nice to have that sense of comfort, the sense of security to know that at any time during the day I can peek in and see what's going on, making sure that everything's good," he said.

All he has to do is open the app on his smartphone, and he can see and hear his family and friends. He admits it took a little time for his wife to adjust to always being on camera when she's at home.

"In the beginning it was a little strange, but think she's become used to it," he said.

Privacy Attorney Sarah Downey said the explosion of these surveillance devices on the market is a concern.

"Surveillance is everywhere. It's on the streets, it's on our computers, so the home is really the last safe zone and with many of these home surveillance devices, even that sanctity is in trouble," she said.

Downey said she believes security cameras can serve a useful purpose, but will force us to face some interesting etiquette issues.

"You can use it for children. You can use it as a baby monitor. You can keep an eye on pets. But, you can also know in extreme detail what your guests are doing, your adult guests, and that's something that they probably wouldn't expect," she said. "So that's a really huge change for society and for our culture and it's going to have a major, major impact."

Russell Ure heads up bBacksumac, the maker of some of these cameras. He sees these smaller monitoring systems as more than security. He says they're portholes of sorts into our homes.

"It's sort of a new notion of being a family public space inside your home. So this is not, this is not a space that is public to everybody, but it's public to a close member of your family," he said.

Unless it is a new build, the challenge in creating a smart home is that the technology must work irrespective of the age of the property.

While it is far from mainstream, more and more smart home technology is starting to appear in the market. Energy supplier Npower recently started offering Nest, the smart central heating controller from Google in the UK, and last year, rival British Gas launched its internet-connected central heating system, Hive.

But beyond the big energy providers, a new industry is emerging to integrate computer control into the home. In the past, companies such as Lutron were synonymous with intelligent lighting installed in high-end homes.

Like the trend in IT consumerisation, smart home technology is becoming more accessible. For instance, electronics and white goods manufacturer Philips' Hue family provides a Wi-Fi-enabled light that fits into a standard light socket and can be made to dim and change colour using a smartphone app.

Other companies, such as D-Link, are focusing on remote home security, such as its Wi-Fi-connected CCTV cameras. Motorised curtains and shutters can be controlled remotely via RS434 control boxes. Meanwhile, smart TV and stereo equipment manufacturers such as Sonus offer devices compatible with the Digital Living Network Alliance (DNLA) specification, which means they play media and can be controlled via a local area network.

What many of the newer smart home products have in common is that they are underpinned by internet connectivity and cloud services, and, collectively, they are part of what the IT industry calls the internet of things (IoT). These products offer some degree of intelligence either built-in or via the cloud and they may contain a sensor, such as in internet-connected CCTV cameras, fire alarms and thermostats.

Unlike a smartphone, central heating systems and white goods such as fridges and washing machines generally last a fair number of years. Although some newer domestic appliances may have smart technology built in, consumers should not have to upgrade to take advantage of what a smart home can potentially offer.

But these timescales are not compatible with the six to 18-month schedules that seem to drive consumer electronics.

Past experience has shown that the computer industry does not have the appetite or the patience to support products that may be around for decade.

Last year, British Gass Connected Homes business ran a competition in which startups were invited to showcase smart energy technology for the home. Although there were plenty of innovative product demonstrations, a responsible home owner might question whether the technology being embedded in the home, and the companies that provide it, will last as long as the bricks and mortar.
