Home, office security now just a click away
SECURITY FOR homes or office buildings is now just a click away. With Zicom Electronic Security Systems launching a new range of products for homes and offices, protection from thefts and burglary is easily available now.
The intrusion detection system designed for homes will be connected to a Central Monitoring Station (CMS), which will keep constant vigil over the customer's house and premises, said G. Narayan, State Manager of Tamil Nadu and Kerala of Zicom.
It would also have a video door phone, which would enable the customer to view the person outside the door and speak to the person without opening the door. A motion sensor and gas leak sensor are the other options available with the system.
In the case of offices, the CMS would be replaced by a Video Monitoring Service. The CMS rates could be anywhere between Rs. 200 and Rs. 300, and the Video Monitoring System between Rs. 400 and Rs. 500. But, it would vary in different cities.
Zicom had launched the product in 24 cities in India including Tamil Nadu (in Chennai, Madurai and Coimbatore).
However, the sensors would only detect human flesh. It would not be able to detect animals, Mr. Narayanan said. But, it could take care of multiple entry points.
The system would be useful not only in homes, but hospitals, banks, ATM centres, malls and multiplexes, educational institutions and small and medium establishments.
Mr. Narayanan said that the response had been good in Tamil Nadu, especially in Coimbatore.
The security system would be connected to a 110-decibel hooter, which would sound an alarm when somebody broke into the building and it would work irrespective of the size of the building. "Even if the house has 24 rooms, all the rooms would come under the surveillance of the monitoring system," said Deepak Deleep, Assistant Manager, Service, South. The company had struck deals with a few builders in Coimbatore who evinced keen interest in constructing apartments with a built-in security system. Jewellery outlets and banks too had shown great interest in the product, Mr. Narayanan said.
The security system for homes comes in three packages of Rs. 6,495, Rs. 12,995 and Rs. 22,495. For offices, it comes at Rs. 54,995, Rs. 99,995 and Rs. 1,49,995.
