ERA Protect Launch
Next generation of smart home security is backed by BSI IoT Kitemark
» ERA , THE UK ’ S SECURITY specialist , has launched ERA Protect , the next generation wireless smart security system and the first of its kind to attain the prestigious BSI IoT Kitemark .
Bringing alarm and camera excellence , ERA Protect offers the ultimate in security confidence and even when there is a broadband outage , the built-in 4G roaming SIM allows crucial data to be sent to the secure ERA Cloud , all controlled by one intuitive smartphone app .
ERA Protect offers a multitude of capabilities and features that empower users to take charge of their smart security from start to finish .
BSI IOT Kitemark – an industry first
Extensive research and development by the innovative ERA team to deliver a completely different offering , has resulted in ERA being the first organisation to attain the BSI IoT ( British Standards Institution Internet of Things ) Kitemark . BSI developed the IoT Kitemark in response to the rapid growth of internet connected products and is designed to help customers confidently and easily identify IoT devices they can trust to be safe , secure and functional . This verification is a reflection of both the hard work and investment made in ERA Protect to deliver the ultimate in accessible , but serious , security .
The ERA Protect difference Building on previous product ranges to continue developing a serious security solution that can be relied upon and trusted , rather than a gadget , the ERA Protect range launches with an Alarm , Siren , Accessories along with an Outdoor camera and Floodlight camera .
The first major difference between ERA Protect and other alarm systems is the way the alarm and the cameras work together . Wirelessly connected and operating fully in harmony , the settings allow cameras to be controlled via the same app and triggered as a complete system during alert situations . What ’ s even more unique , is that if the broadband connection goes down , the 4G roaming SIM will still allow the video recordings from cameras to be stored to the cloud upon alarm trigger . The result gives a robust , security-driven system that can be tailored to fit individual needs – with all the help and support that ERA has become well-known for .
One ECO System – one app
All ERA Protect products are fully integrated and work seamlessly together using the intuitive , easy to use smartphone app . One simple app allows users to view and monitor their precious homes or premises at any time from anywhere in the world – via the high quality 1080p HD video imagery - giving them ultimate convenience and reassurance .
Being wireless , unlike time consuming , costly hard-wired systems , ERA Protect can be easily connected - and disconnected - should customers move house . In addition , the system can be added to at a later date – maybe an additional PIR or camera is required - giving great flexibility .
With no fixed long-term contracts to be tied into , ERA Protect ’ s subscription packages are optional and can be cancelled at any time should circumstances change .
Confidence is key Confidence is a key concept for ERA Protect – a theme that runs through every aspect of the system .
Completely revolutionary to a smart alarm smart system , ERA Protect offers a unique professional monitoring capability and ‘ on the ground ’ local authority response if required . This means a house can be monitored by professionals and in an alert situation , someone will contact the authorities directly if it is a verified intruder . This is a huge confidence boost for the elderly , or people away from home and not able to attend their own home in an emergency . What ’ s more , the Professional Monitoring is available on short-term basis adhoc and no long-term expensive contracts are required meaning you can opt in and out of the professional monitoring when it suits you .
To give customers added confidence , ERA have also invested effort into small things which make big differences . For example , the motion detection in cameras is PIR driven which significantly reduces false alerts and therefore instils more confidence .
Cameras have protected wiring so vandalism is reduced and a lot of focus has gone into making sure the alarm system itself can ’ t easily be jammed or affected by power cuts .
