Smart intruder detection solutions

Elvey’s focus on providing quality technology includes the introduction of smart solutions from DSC, UTC and Risco that leverage the Internet of Things (IoT).

DSC’s iotega panel is a self-contained wireless system that provides security and all the benefits of DSC’s high-end technology, using GPRS, Z-Wave, IP and wireless connectivity. The iotega also makes use of FIBARO Z-Wave plug & play devices which are simple to install and use. Added video verification makes for a powerful package.

The FIBARO product range is compatible with voice control technologies – one simply tells the system what to do, and it expedites one’s commands within seconds. FIBARO allows homeowners to monitor the amount of electricity used by home devices, thereby easily identifying which items of hardware are responsible for high energy usage. The system can be programmed to increase energy savings for homeowners.

The scalable DSC solutions allow homeowners to start with security-only and to upgrade to a full home automation system that can support over 200 security and smart home devices. Support is provided for multiple communications protocols, such as Ethernet, as well as a wide range of wireless options such as Wi-Fi, Z-Wave Plus, PowerG and optional cellular (3G and LTE).

The security backend on the DSC iotega panels is powerful due to the fact that DSC has outsourced the backend development to the creators of the cloud-based monitoring platform SecureNet. This platform has fully encrypted VPN communication from the security system directly to the central station and allows users to arm and disarm with zone bypass, view real-time system and zone status, and view history, as well as receive notifications and alerts.

Adding the Risco Smart Home Gateway to a Risco LightSYS2 or Agility3 intruder alarm system allows home automation system management using the iRISCO App. The RISCO Home Gateway connects to the highly secure Risco Cloud via the user’s router and is compatible with a selection of FIBARO Z-Wave devices. Similarly UTC’s Zero Wire panel offers a fully fledged wireless alarm panel that offers home automation through FIBARO Z-Wave devices as well as video verification, all driven through its app.

Elvey employs a specialist technical support team that guides clients through any challenges they may face, including the selection of the best possible solution for their specific application and circumstances.
