StreamLabs launches Scout: A smart water sensor for early leak detection
Scout's small size, modern design, and DIY setup make it an efficient standalone device or part of the StreamLabs leak detection system.
StreamLabs, a Chubb company specializing in water monitoring and leak detection, introduces Scout, a compact sensor for real-time alerts on potential water leaks. Scout's small size, modern design, and DIY setup make it an efficient standalone device or part of the StreamLabs leak detection system.
Scout goes beyond typical leak detection, also monitoring temperature and humidity fluctuations to signal the risk of frozen pipes. Installation is quick, requiring no pipe-cutting, and it integrates seamlessly with StreamLabs' Control, capable of automatically shutting off water in case of a detected leak or freezing conditions.
Hemant Sarma, Senior VP of IoT at Chubb, emphasizes the importance of water damage prevention, stating, "Water damage is the number one source of non-weather-related property damage." Scout's alert system includes audible alarms and real-time Wi-Fi notifications via the StreamLabs app, enabling users to take swift action.
Ana Robic, Division President of Chubb North America Personal Risk Services, highlights Chubb's collaboration with StreamLabs in addressing water damage risks. Scout's flexibility allows placement in various areas prone to leaks, providing an ideal solution for condos where automatic shut-off devices may not be feasible.
Available in one, three, or five packs, Scout can be purchased on www.streamlabswater.com and may qualify for insurance premium credits.
