Verisure UK has raised the bar in home protection yet again with the launch of its latest innovation in home security. Heralding the future of home security, the updated alarm suite gives homeowners a 360 approach to their home security with a whole new approach to home access, intruder detection and verification, and police notification. New features The cutting-edge security system gives homeowners more control than ever, before with new features including photo burst motion sensor cameras and smokescreens to impair intruder vision. Homeowners can see what is happening in their home or business at all times and have the ability to remotely control the alarm system via the Verisure app or website. The new system is also equipped with the latest anti-jamming technology to prevent criminals from blocking or bypassing more traditional alarm systems. Coverage The Verisure system covers every step in protecting property, including: Deterrence – external cameras provide a strong deterrent to would-be intruders. Detection – shock sensors detect intruders before they enter the home. Verification – remote monitoring will verify any incidence through high-quality images and sound. These quality images can be used as evidence in any subsequent prosecution. Response – Police notification and activation of a smokescreen. Control – Homeowners have complete control of their system via an app or website. According to Horacio Perez, the Operations Director at Verisure, “With criminals forever seeking ways to outsmart alarm systems, Verisure is making sure it stays one step ahead using cutting-edge technology to give homeowners the best possible protection." Innovative features Some of the innovative features of the latest system include: SVK (Siren-Voice-Keypad): A full voice communications system, SVK combines an alarm siren, voice notification, and SOS button into one device. Zerovision: Designed to generate a smokescreen in the event of a burglary, ZeroVision reduces visibility in a room to zero. By impairing the intruder's vision, the smokescreen forces them to leave and/or slow down, which increases the likelihood of arrest. Photo Detector: Motion sensor cameras combine photo burst capture functionality with infrared technology - meaning that no matter what time of day or night, the system will capture, photograph, and display all intruders. These award-winning cameras can capture live video whenever movement is detected. Control panel: Homeowners have total control over the system via the control panel. Not only does it include an SOS button and climate sensor (with notifications if thresholds are reached) but can also be controlled by voice for ease of use. 24/7 protection Perez continued, “Up until now alarm systems have focussed on monitoring, with some having the ability to contact emergency services in the event of an alarm. Verisure’s latest offering goes much further allowing homeowners to act in the event of a break-in giving them more control than ever before. This next-generation technology will give homeowners the peace of mind that their properties will be protected 24/7.”
