» KEEPING UP WITH MARKET
trends and customer needs are essential
survival tools for manufacturers and installers
alike, particularly in these unique times.
The increase in popularity and affordability
of simple to install and use Smart security
solutions means that CCTV, video doorbells
and wireless alarm systems are a growing addon
sales opportunity for many installers.
KEEPING A SMART EYE ON THINGS
Burg-Wächter believes that good security
is all about building in layers. Starting with
the perimeter, video surveillance systems are
an increasingly popular part of customers’
security plans. Correctly positioned and
installed CCTV cameras act as a strong visual
deterrent and could provide a useful source of
evidence.
Designed specifically for the self-install
market, the BurgCam Wi-Fi range offers a
choice of bullet, dome and pan-tilt-zoom
cameras, all providing the ability to record
directly onto an SD card for either backup
or use as a standalone unit. Super HD 2K
resolution, face detection/video analytics on
select models and the option to pair up to
6 cameras with a network recorder makes
the BURGcam Wi-Fi range perfect for most
home, small business and retail installations.
The easy to use BURGcam app provides
real-time a real-time monitoring feed on
smartphones, tablets and PCs. It also allows
pan, tilt and zoom control on the Zoom
camera. Together with the configurable
notifications and alerts facility, this video
surveillance system lets customers keep an eye
on their property wherever they are.
REMOTE PROTECTION
Using similar technology
and principles as BURGcam,
BURGprotect is a scalable
wireless smart alarm and
monitoring system that will
notify customers in the event of
a break in, flood or fire.
The BURGprotect wireless alarm
offers next generation technology in an easy
to install and control security system for the
home. This comprehensive yet scalable system
allows customers to build a tailored solution
that matches their needs and can be easily
expanded to meet future requirements.
The central control unit with built-in
sounder, wirelessly connects to up to 200
accessories including movement, contact,
smoke, vibration and water sensors as well
as external sirens and remote controls. A
simple scan of a QR code on the accessory
is all it takes to add each component to the
system. An integrated app provides a real-time
monitoring feed for both BURGcam and
BURGprotect on smartphones, tablets and
PCs, offering the convenience of remote access
and notifications.
What sets BURGprotect apart from the
competition is the innovative three methods of
connecting to the internet via LAN, WiFi and
sim card. Together with the central control
unit’s eight hours of battery backup, this
ensures that the user is always aware of what
is happening at home, even if there is a power
cut or loss of broadband connection.
The Set 2200 starter kit includes Central
Control Unit with built in sounder, two
wireless magnetic door contacts, a PIR wireless
motion sensor and a remote control key fob to
arm/disarm the alarm.
An outdoor weatherproof siren can be
added and provides an additional deterrent,
whilst a wall mounted keypad offers a
traditional way to arm/disarm the alarm.
CHIMING IN SMARTLY
For customers and installers looking
for an entry point into the “internet of
things” security systems, video doorbells are a
step up from traditional doorbell and spyhole
viewer combinations. Burg-Wächter’s Door
eGuard DG8500 is an easy to fit video doorbell
system for both house and apartment doors.
Activated by either a simple button push or the
infra-red motion detector, this Wi-Fi enabled
camera sends a notification to the free Tuya
Smart app, which is available for both Android
and iOS. This allows home owners to easily see
visitors to their house via their smartphone, even
when they’re not at home.
The DG85000 features a 720P camera
with 160 degree lens along with integrated
infra-red LEDs, to give a wide HD quality
view, even in low light conditions. The inbuilt
speaker and microphone utilise noise
suppression technology to provide crystal clear
two-way audio communication. Convenience
is further increased as the Tuya app is
compatible with both Amazon Alexa and
Google Home, allowing Door eGuard to fully
integrate into the modern smart home.
The integrated SD card allows the recording
of both video and audio without the need
for expensive cloud-based storage services.
Utilising the build-it PIR sensor, the camera
can record whenever motion is sensed for
playback later via the app – perfect for
keeping an eye on unwanted visitors.
Marking the DG8500 out from the
competition is the separate chime box that
features 16 different ring tones. The chime
box is both battery powered and fully wireless
with a 30m range, so can be placed anywhere
around the home. The external unit is IP55
rated and comes with a sun-visor/rain-cover,
ensuring the Door eGuard 8500 can survive
the best (and worst) of the British weather.
Designed to be easily installed, the Door
eGuard 8500 is a direct replacement for
existing 2-wire doorbell installations, whilst
a separate 12V power supply is available for
fresh installations.
