Outdoor Living Smarter sales solutions » 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. www.burg.biz 46 » AUG 2020 » CLEARVIEW-UK.COM
