Essence Security, a part of Essence Group, a technology group developing and supplying wireless, cloud-based security solutions for homes and businesses, has announced the integration of its proactive, smoke-generating intruder prevention solution, MyShield, with major monitoring station software providers around the world. The most recent and notable being EBÜS, from the German software company Accellence, and the American company COPS Monitoring.
The Israeli-based company points out that additional software providers integrated with MyShield include ESI France, Azursoft, Insocam, NXGEN, AlarmControl, Mastermind, Moni, Shrakrak, AlarmSpace, and SoftGuard. As a result of these developments, availability of Essence’s range of MyShield security smoke solutions will expand significantly across Europe, The United States, and South America Essence Security notes.
“By partnering with these leading providers, we are making it possible for people around the world to experience the advanced protection offered by MyShield,” says Dr. Haim Amir, CEO and founder of Essence Group. “These integrations support our relentless pursuit of excellence in security, ensuring property owners receive the highest level of protection.”
Essence Security explains MyShield’s integration with these monitoring station software providers allows property owners across the globe to benefit from the platform’s high level of efficacy and proactivity in deterring intruders while ensuring high levels of safety. According to Essence Security, MyShield’s advanced detection capabilities, real-time video verification and audio warnings, along with its fast-acting smoke intervention, enables monitoring providers to deliver swift and decisive responses to security threats to improve overall safety and security for customers.
Also available through these monitoring station software providers is the MyShield Next solution, a variation of MyShield without an integrated camera, for scenarios where visual verification is unnecessary or where existing cameras are already in place. MyShield Next is also offered as a wired device for areas with no LTE CAT-M coverage and integrates seamlessly through wired input into existing security alarm systems. Highly adaptable to the specific needs of both end users and installers, MyShield Next is suitable for a variety of use cases and configurations.
Essence Security boasts its MyShield device deploys a veil of harmless yet disorienting smoke that fills a room in 30 seconds, forcing intruders off premises before they can cause harm to people or property. MyShield, the company continues, acts as a “first responder,” significantly narrowing the window of time in which intruders can operate and providing an enhanced level of security to residential and commercial users, which Essence Security stresses is particularly advantageous in high-risk environments with lone workers or unoccupied buildings where rapid response is crucial.
“Working together with Essence Security brings a new level of sophistication to our monitoring capabilities,” comments Hardo Naumann, general manager for EBÜS at Accellence Technologies. “MyShield’s real-time intervention capabilities are setting a new benchmark in security response, and we are excited to offer this to our clients.”
Essence Security says the easy-to-install, MyShield’s battery-powered system includes an integrated motion detector, high-definition video camera to eliminate false alarms, voice announcement and rapid action remote smoke deployment. It utilises cellular IoT networks and can be used as a standalone app-based solution or integrated into existing security systems. The low-maintenance device can be easily moved to ensure properties have 24/7 security on demand for reliable protection.
