WOODBRIDGE, ON, April 17, 2009 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the
release of the 5870API Wireless Asset Protection Sensor, an ideal way to guard
against theft in both residential and commercial applications. One of the newest
members of Honeywell’s popular 5800 Series family of wireless devices, the
5870API easily affixes to virtually any valuable requiring protection within a
home or business, including paintings, flat screen TVs and other electronics,
family heirlooms, safes, machinery, office equipment and more.
While Honeywell has historically introduced innovative solutions for burglary
prevention, the 5870API is the first solution designed to specifically address
the need for theft protection on the premises while enhancing the burglary
protection already in place. It lets sensors transmit signals that movement has
been detected even when the panel is disarmed. This is ideal for environments
where the use of a constantly armed panel is not practical—such as colleges,
hotels and any areas requiring free-flowing human traffic.
The 5870API employs an accelerometer—similar to those used in automobiles to
detect impact and deploy air bags—to recognize movement. Dealers can program the
devices to send alarm signals to security panels, alerting guards and other
security personnel or central stations when the protected object is being moved.
The 5870API is fully supervised to monitor for low battery, tamper (front
case cover and removal from asset) and trouble conditions. For more information,
please call 1-800-467-5875.
