At Digital CES 2021, January 11-14, 2021 (https://digital.ces.tech/sessions), KONKA North America is introducing a line of Smart Cameras - including Video Doorbells, as well as Smart Plugs, and Smart Lighting products. Other sub-categories, such as Smart Switches, will follow.
KONKA debuted in the U.S. market a year ago with three Series of Android TVs that underscored the company’s mission of offering consumers high quality products that utilize the latest innovative technologies while still providing amazing consumer value. KONKA Smart is an extension of that mission and notably, KONKA has integrated features to tie these great products together.
“KONKA has developed a Smart Home line-up that includes the most important products in each sub-category and all of them are controlled by our OneApp with IFTTT.” said Scott Ramirez, KONKA North America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We have created a One-Stop Shop opportunity that provides both ease of use and ease of mind. Plus, our new CameraView App creates a unique synergy between KONKASmart Cameras and Android TVs, making the TV the Hub of the KONKA Smart Home. This creates a great experience for consumers and new merchandising opportunities for retailers.”
The 2021 KONKA Smart Home
When developing the KONKA Smart Home, the company prioritized simplicity of installation, ease-of-use, and effortless interoperability.
