Honeywell Releases Stand-alone Version of Total Connect with Video Capabilities
Remote Video Monitoring Technology Can Now Be Installed in Any Home or Business With or Without a Security System
MELVILLE, N.Y., July 7, 2010 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) has introduced a
stand-alone version of its Total Connect® technology that allows security
dealers to offer remote video monitoring capabilities with or without a security
system. With Stand-alone Total Connect with Video, customers can remotely access
live video of their homes and businesses using the Apple iPhone® and iPad™
devices, as well as desktop PCs and laptops. Additionally, this functionality
will soon be available for RIM’s BlackBerry® PDA.
Stand-alone Total Connect with Video does not require an alarm panel or
intrusion sensors. This makes it ideal for homeowners who currently are not
ready to buy security systems but may want to add security technology in the
future. Dealers can simply install Honeywell IP cameras that securely transmit
data through Honeywell’s AlarmNet® communications network via the Internet.
Using the cameras’ built-in motion detection capabilities, customers can easily
program these cameras to detect movement in selected areas of a home or
business. When the cameras detect movement, the system can initiate email alerts
to the customers, who can then use their mobile devices to view the event.
“Total Connect has become more than just a security technology, it’s a true
lifestyle-enhancing technology,” said Gordon Hope, general manager of
Honeywell’s AlarmNet. “Offering Total Connect’s video capabilities as a
stand-alone system allows people to take advantage of many of its benefits. And
it offers security dealers another path to RMR anytime they visit customers,
regardless of whether they actually sell them a security system.”
When integrated with security, Total Connect can alert customers via email of
security incidents happening at a home or business. It also can alert users to
non-security events, including environmental events such as extreme temperature
changes and flooding conditions. The technology also allows the user to arm and
disarm the security system remotely, bypass zones, or even open a garage door or
turn on a light.
