HARDWARE & SECURITY

Hardware expert VBH has added the Q-Smart electronic smart handle to its range of premium quality window and door hardware and furniture .

» IT ’ S A KEYLESS PRODUCT WHICH gives the homeowner three methods of gaining access . The first is a proximity fob that communicates with a reader built into the handle unit ; the second is via the Blusafe app that allows the user to use their mobile phone as a key , and the third is finger print recognition . The large reader pad is concealed under a hinged tab to keep it dry .

The app enables the main user to send permanent or temporary timed keys to people ’ s phones VBH say that this eliminates any need to lose control of physical keys by leaving them with neighbours or in a ‘ safe ’ place ’. The app has the added benefit of keeping a log of operations , thus providing visitor management records

VBH Head of Sales , Dan Powell , advises , “ Everyone who has seen

Q-Smart has been very positive and they all remark on the fact that , by having no less than three means of operation , every member of the family ’ s personal preference should be covered .”

No mains wiring is required as Q-Smart is battery powered . The handle warns when the batteries start to run low , but if the user does allow them to go flat , enough temporary power can be provided by plugging in a micro USB power source . VBH supply one with each unit .

Dan concludes , “ Q-Smart is a great way for fabricators and installers to get new business and more profit by offering a simple step onto the smart ladder .

“ From a fabrication and installation point of view Q-Smart is very simple to fit and from the salesperson ’ s perspective it ’ s easy to sell . This is due to its compact size , its choice of colours and the fact that it is feature-packed but simple for the end user to understand and use .”

Q-Smart is fully tested at BSI and certified to ETSI TS103 645 ( CYBER ; Cyber Security for Consumer Internet of Things ).
