Contrary to popular belief, most burglaries happen during the day whilst the home owner is out. This, combined with the increas- ing adoption of smart technology, means installers are ideally placed to make the most of the growing customer demand for smart home alarm and remote monitoring systems. With over 100 years in the security industry, Burg-Wächter is known for quality, innovative se- curity solutions. Newly launched into the UK & Ireland, the BURG- protect wireless alarm offers next generation technology in an easy to install and control security sys- tem for the home. Lying at the heart of the BURGprotect system, 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 exter- nal sirens and remote controls. This comprehensive yet scalable system allows customers to build a tailored solution that matches their needs and can be easily expanded to meet future require- ments. What sets BURGprotect apart from the competition is the inno- vative three methods of connect- ing to the internet via LAN, WiFi and sim card. Together with the central control unit’s 8 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 magnet- ic 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. Keeping Customers ‘Appy BURGprotect is setup and controlled via the free BURGpro- tect app which also offers the convenience of remote access and notifications. A simple scan of a QR code on the accessory is all it takes to add each component to the system. The app has recently been updated to become an even smarter security solution, as it now integrates with Burg-Wäch- ter’s BURGcam video camera system. Video surveillance systems are an increasingly popular part of customers’ security plans, used as both a visual deterrent and for gathering vital evidence. De- signed specifically for the self-in- stall market, the BURGcam Wi-Fi range offers a choice of outdoor zoom, dome, bullet and indoor cameras. The new integrated BURGprotect app provides a re- al-time monitoring feed on smart- phones, tablets and PCs. It also allows pan, tilt and zoom control on the Zoom camera. Together with the configurable notifica- tions and alerts facility, this video surveillance system lets customers keep an eye on their property whilst either out and about or relaxing in their garden. Burg-Wächter offers a portfolio of over 4,000 security products, ranging from traditional safes, post boxes and padlocks to smart video surveillance, entry management and wireless alarm systems. Nationwide technical and sales support and custom- ised training is available from Burg-Wächter’s dedicated UK and Ireland teams. www.burg.biz/uk
