What are white label products?

White label products are produced by one company without branding. They are then sold to other companies who add their brand and resell the products as their own to end-users.

In smart security, it is possible for solution providers to include different types of white label products in their systems.

Among the available products is white label hardware, which includes sensors monitoring unwanted activity inside or outside the property of the users, smart door locks, and keypads placed by the entrances of the property. Also, the hubs, which collect the data from the connected devices, are offered as white label products.

White label software is also available for smart security solutions. This could be the interface, e.g. an app, which the users need for controlling their smart security system.

You can also opt for a solution where you offer your customers a smart security system in your own brand, which includes alarm handling services through an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC).

Benefits of using white label products in smart security solutions

• Save time and capital on building your smart security system

When making a smart security solution from scratch, you will spend an extensive amount of time and capital on product development. The process includes the development, testing, and certifying of the products.

In this process, you will likely make mistakes that others have made - and also mastered - before you.

With white label products, you will avoid the common pitfalls. You will also shorten the time to market of your solution, meaning that you will experience a fast ROI.

• Lower risk of false alarms with mature products

In a security setup, false alarms can be costly affairs and connection losses can easily have bad consequences. When providing your customers with a smart security system, it is vital that it is reliable.

By including mature products that have already been tested and validated in large volumes, you will minimize the risk of providing a faulty solution. Instead, you can guarantee your customers a reliable solution from the beginning.

Only products developed by experts in the field of home security should be included in your system. For this reason, it is crucial to team up with the right white label providers.
