Stay Connected To Your Home: Introducing the
Motorola Home Monitoring and Control System
NEW YORK CITY. – 14 October 2004
– Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced the immediate availability of
the Motorola Home Monitoring and Control System from www.motorola.com/shop,
and beginning November 1st from select retail outlets nationwide.
Keep Informed While You Are
Away
The Motorola Home Monitoring and Control
solution is a coordinated system of wired and wireless cameras, wireless
door/window sensors and environmental devices that work together to provide
real-time information about what’s happening in your home.
The included Home Monitoring and Control
software provides an easy way to configure and control the System. Right from
the desktop, the software lets you monitor real-time activity from cameras and
sensors placed around your home. You can program the software to automatically
record activity from these sensors whenever a certain event occurs (such as a
door opening), and/or have a notification sent to a mobile phone or email
account.
Further, you can program one device
to trigger another, extending your security options. For example, if a door or
window sensor is triggered, that event can enable a wireless camera to record
the event.
Customizable to Fit Your
Home
Consumers can extend the functionality of
the System by adding extra devices. For example, by connecting a wireless door
sensor, working parents can set up an email notification to let them know when
the kids open the front door after arriving home from school. Environmental
sensors can be configured to alert a mobile device about a water leak or extreme
temperature—before the basement is flooded or the pipes freeze.
New devices can easily be connected to the
system through “one-touch discovery” – a feature that attaches
the new device to the system simply by pressing a button. The System supports
three wired cameras, and up to 14 additional wireless devices (see the product
package for specific configuration details for each sensor
type).
Experience the Freedom of Seamless
Mobility
Packed with features to keep
homeowners connected, the Motorola Home Monitoring and Control System
offers:
• PEACE OF MIND. Provides
everything homeowners need to help them stay connected to their home, offering
the peace of mind that comes with the ability to monitor the people and things
important to them. The System even can augment existing home security systems
with information from a variety of sensors and
cameras.
• REAL-TIME INFORMATION. Monitor
continuously updated information directly from the home right from a computer or
laptop. Configure notifications to be sent to a mobile device or an email
account.
• SAVE AND PLAYBACK. Store
recorded images and video to view later on, or archive them for storage.
• EASY CONFIGURATION. Have the
plug-and-play system up and running in minutes. Easily add new devices with the
touch of a button. Configure them through the included software for your home
PC.
“The Motorola Home Monitoring and
Control System can help keep you aware of what's happening at home --
even when you're not there. Now, you have the peace of mind that comes with the
ability to monitor your family and home, by using this synchronized system of
devices and sensors to get real-time information directly from your
house,” said John
Burke, Motorola corporate vice president and general
manager, consumer solutions. “Since the System works with your existing
broadband and cellular service, consumers get a seamless connection between home
and ‘away’ – staying connected wherever they
go.”
