Can I see my CCTV from anywhere in the world?+
Yes. Every LiveInSmart CCTV install includes secure mobile access — live view, playback and event alerts on iOS and Android with role-based access for family members and guards.
Are smart door locks safe? What if the internet is down?+
Yes. Reputable smart locks (Yale, Godrej Advantis, Ozone) use AES-128 encryption and work offline — fingerprint, PIN and mechanical key all continue to work with zero internet. App/Alexa control is an additional layer, not the only layer.
How much does a smart security package cost for a 3BHK?+
Basic (4 CCTV + smart lock + video door phone): ₹65,000–₹95,000. Complete (8 CCTV + face-detect gate + smart lock + video door phone + sensors + siren): ₹1.4–2.2 lakh installed and calibrated.
How do I convert my existing home into a smart home without rewiring?+
Use retrofit smart switch modules that sit behind your existing switchboards, Wi-Fi/Zigbee smart bulbs, an IR blaster to pool your AC/TV/set-top-box remotes, a smart Wi-Fi lock and a video door phone. LiveInSmart typically converts a 3BHK in 2–4 days with zero visible wiring change — the mechanical switches keep working and you get app + Alexa/Google control on top.
How much does it cost to convert a home into a smart home in India?+
A basic single-room retrofit starts around ₹35,000–₹55,000. A full 3BHK apartment with lighting, fans, curtains, one AC, video door phone and Alexa integration lands between ₹1.8–3.5 lakh. A wired KNX villa with lighting scenes, curtains, HVAC, security, home theatre and CCTV ranges ₹8–25 lakh. LiveInSmart designs the exact bill-of-materials against your house.
Which is better — Alexa or Google Home for an Indian home?+
Alexa is better for shopping/routines and has the widest local-skill support in India; Google Home is better for questions, calendar and multi-language conversation. Both control the same LiveInSmart lighting, curtains, AC, TV and locks. We usually deploy Alexa as primary and add Google Assistant as a secondary voice layer.
Will the smart home work during a power cut or internet outage?+
Yes. Every LiveInSmart switch and scene runs locally, so loss of internet does not disable lights, fans or curtains. During a power cut, the mechanical fallback on retrofit switches still works; for wired KNX installations we recommend a small UPS on the automation bus so scenes keep running.
Does LiveInSmart provide installation, calibration and AMC for smart homes?+
Yes. Every smart home we deploy includes site survey, single-line diagram, hardware supply, concealed cabling (where applicable), professional installation, scene programming, Alexa/Google onboarding, family handover and a 3-year installation warranty. Optional AMC covers annual health-checks, firmware updates and priority on-site response.
