Wave hello to our new partnership and the new Aiphone WAVE

Reduce exposure to germs in high-touch areas. Introducing Aiphone’s touchless sensor for gesture-activated calling.

Everyone’s priority due to the current pandemic is to diminish contact with high-touch surfaces. Therefore, the WAVE’s touchless sensor provides a means to do just that, but with the added reliability you’ve come to expect from Aiphone.

Compatible with the IX Series door stations, it’s easy to add to new or existing installations. It’s a contactless way for visitors, vendors, and employees to initiate a call and reduces the spread of germs and bacteria; with a 10cm detection zone to help avoid unwanted activations.

Simple Sensor Lowers Risk

When security communication is required – and lowering the spread of bacteria is critical – this is the product to solve for both needs. The IX Series system’s crisp audio and clear video still screens visitors, but now, there’s the option to call with the simple wave of a hand.

Perfect for any high-traffic entrances

Combine the touchless sensor with IX Series standard door stations for a reliable method to call inside without touching the exterior intercom.

Reduce spreading germs in high-volume, high-traffic applications:

Schools and day cares
Office buildings and high-rises
Clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies
Parking lots and garages
Anywhere an IX Series door station is installed

Remove spiders from your CCTV cameras. Stop false alarm triggers with SpiderEx.

If you are the owner of a CCTV system, or an engineer on call-out for an alarm trigger, then you know the nightmare that is spiders nesting over CCTV cameras. Whether you’re wasting personal time trying to bat the critters away, or you’re wasting precious business time when you realise your call out is nothing more than an 8-legged creature, there is a solution that works to protect your cameras and reduce false call outs.

SpiderEx is the spider repellent spray designed to banish those pesky arachnids from your CCTV cameras and alarm sensors. Although made for the CCTV industry, the product has become a rather handy, multi-purpose spray; proving very popular in the domestic market.

Spray, Leave, Done. It’s that simple.

SpiderEx sets into a clear lacquer, essentially forming a barrier that spiders really do not like. Simply spray the product 30cm away from the area you wish to apply it to. If using on security equipment, cover the optical surface with a clean cloth whilst spraying the camera housing. Then, the product will set and remain effective for up to 6 months. Of course, this is dependent on weather conditions; so we suggest to ensure you check your cameras after torrential rain.

If you are using the product indoors, please ensure the room is well ventilated. Also, remove all pets from the room whilst spraying the product.

Luminite announce a range of new features for the OCULi wireless PIR camera.

The current COVID-19 crisis highlights the need for visual verification equipment standing in for security personnel; and passively protecting sites. In turn, this has sparked a great amount of interest in OCULi. The standalone OCULi unit is a powerful PIR detector featuring a built-in camera, that will only send notifications upon a detection event; thus, eliminating the need for constant monitoring.

OCULi is fully wireless and battery-operated, making it perfect for protecting vulnerable areas such as vacant properties and construction sites where you cannot install CCTV due to wiring and power limitations.

Updated Power Supply

The most critical new feature is the updated power supply. This new feature uses batteries in series; therefore, extending battery life and supporting rechargeable lithium batteries to use in conjunction with solar panels.

When using rechargeable batteries and a solar panel, you can leave OCULi’s modem online for users to view live images via the mobile app or web portal. The unit recognises changes to the arming schedule immediately and reduced time in server image uploads means it only takes three seconds (typically).

Speaker Updates

When using OCULi with a speaker, events automatically trigger and air a bespoke message once the video finishes recording. The user can record the message and write it onto the SD card.

SIM Changes

Furthermore, Luminite has now simplified SIM activation and their non-network specific UK SIMs make use of EE network coverage.

“OCULi is designed to offer the end user a host of functions without power. The updates our team have been developing around power supply and the use of solar energy makes OCULi a compelling option for installers to offer certain sectors of the market, where traditional security devices cannot be used due to power constraints.” – Graham Creek, Managing Director at Luminite.
