SK shieldus announced on the 5th that it has begun to address everyday residential security concerns through its physical security brand ADT Caps' home security service 'Caps Home.'
Caps Home uses artificial intelligence (AI) CCTV to detect situations in real-time at the front door, instantly capturing unfamiliar visitors or unusual behavior and sending alerts. In particular, if an unfamiliar visitor stays for a certain period, a warning is automatically sent, and all situations are recorded in high-definition video. In an emergency, it can be quickly linked to a 24-hour dispatch service for prompt response. As such, Caps Home is useful for single-person households, working couples, and families where children often come home alone.
This Caps Home solution is gaining more attention in connection with the recently popular Netflix movie '84 Square Meters.' The film depicts the process of conflicts over noise between floors and the behavior of unfamiliar individuals in front of the door, turning everyday life into a threat, all set against the backdrop of an 84 square meter apartment in Gangnam, Seoul. As of the 30th of last month, this work climbed to the top of Netflix's global non-English institutional sector films, resonating with many viewers and conveying a social message reflecting real-life housing insecurity beyond being a simple thriller.
This is not just the content of the movie. According to the Supreme Public Prosecutors' Office, the number of violent crimes between neighbors and acquaintances in Korea exceeded 31,000 in 2023. This suggests that simple conflicts are increasingly leading to serious crimes such as violence, arson, and invasion. The company explained that if '84 Square Meters' were a reality, Caps Home would have recorded the notes stuck on the door and the actions of unfamiliar individuals, promptly alerting to unusual signs, enabling rapid responses.
An ADT Caps representative said, 'The system that can record every situation happening in front of the house and respond immediately is the key to residential security' and noted, 'Caps Home will become the new standard for home security, blocking everything from everyday minor anxieties to actual threats.'
