ADT launches Singapore’s first wireless MotionViewer that Detects genuine intrusion

ADT Singapore has launched MotionViewer, the first wireless video intrusion detection system for homes and small and medium enterprise businesses. Built around a dedicated mobile GPRS network, MotionViewer combines "motion detection" with an "embedded video camera" (PCAM) to first detect the intrusion and determine if the alarm is genuine by viewing the video recording from the PCAM.

With MotionViewer, the intrusion detection alarm and the real-time video capture will be transmitted to ADT’s 24/7 Central Monitoring Station. Through instant video confirmation, the monitoring team can respond immediately by alerting the police or by neutralizing the false alarm. Video verified alarms are treated as "crime in progress" and the police can take action immediately.

Mohammad Salim, General Manager -- ADT Security Services Singapore, said: "One of the key concerns when an intrusion alarm is detected is to determine if this is a genuine alarm in order to dispatch the law enforcement response. In most countries, the police force will take action upon visual confirmation of genuine intrusion. With video confirmation, our customers can identify whether the intruder is an insider job or outside their circle of trust."

"Worldwide statistics from the U.S. Department of Justice -- Office of Community Oriented Policing Services indicates that about 98% of the alarms monitored are false. Currently, alarm security service providers rely on the CCTV systems combined with alarm intrusion detection devices to obtain visual confirmation of genuine intrusion. The standard security system does not allow for immediate response to address genuine intrusion. Now with MotionViewer, we can detect genuine intrusion immediately and police can act on the case faster, thereby minimizing the risk and loss to our customers," added Mohammad Salim.

Secured by encrypted wireless communication, MotionViewer is a military-grade radio transceiver frequency of 868MHz device that covers an incredible range of up to 600 meters (line of sight). A mobile security system, MotionViewer can be shifted easily and installed at any location, including warehouses, construction sites, retail shops, boats and small commercial areas. The sensors can be hidden at any location specified by the customer. MotionViewer subscribers will be able to receive all intrusion video clips through their email or smart mobile phones -- via mobile GPRS network. They will enjoy privacy as the camera is only triggered during alarm detection. In addition, they can enjoy peace of mind and the high quality service provided by the dedicated monitoring team at ADT, the world leader in electronic security solutions.
