Myfox is a privately held French company that designs and produces connected, sensor-driven and wireless home security equipment.

Its focus is on home automation products that integrate with category eco-systems (IFTTT,Works with Nest…). Myfox's flagship products are the Myfox Home Alarm and the Myfox Security Camera.

The company’s headquarters are located in Labège, France, and Campbell, California (United States). The company’s products are available for sale in several European countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as the United Kingdom. The company launched in North America (United States & Canada) in June 2015.

Myfox was founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Jean Prunet, with the creation of the IntelliTAG smart sensor. This technology is based on the concept of “proactive deterrence.” The vibration sensor attaches to doors and windows to alert users in case of an attempted break-in, with the capacity to differentiate between break-in attempts and normal, everyday events. The end results is a DYI security solution that can catch intruders before they can enter the home.

The brand launched the first connected alarm solution on the market in 2009. The same year, Jean-Marc Prunet, Jean Prunet’s son, took the helm of the company as Chief Executive Officer.

The company grew from its roots in Toulouse, France, to become an international company in 2014. Alongside the launch of the third generation of IntelliTAG, it expanded distribution to Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Spain.

In 2015, Myfox launched two new products, the Myfox Home Alarm and Security Camera. In June 2015, the company entered the North American market. In September 2015, Myfox announced the Myfox Home Alarm’s compatibility with the Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Protect: Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm. In October 2015, Myfox announced the Myfox Security Channel on IFTTT that connects the Myfox Home Alarm and Myfox Security Camera with recipes that allow for interaction between the products, apps and IoT devices.. In 2016, the company announced the availability of 24/7 professional monitoring. The company reached an agreement with Apple in February 2016, and is now available for sale at Apple stores in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as online in over twenty more countries.

Myfox Home Alarm is a DYI security system that works with a Bluetooth key fob to recognize users and automatically disarm the alarm.
