Securitas Direct provides 3G home surveillance system powered by RADVISION technology

Spanish security systems company Securitas Direct provides 3G home surveillance system based on RADVISION’s SCOPIATM interactive video platform and 3G vide. The security solution is developed by CESTEL, a major Spanish system integrator and service provider.

 

 “3G mobile access to surveillance cameras is a solution that our customers are looking for,” said Mr. José Luis Martin, Securitas Direct’s CTO. “The solution provided by RADVISION and CESTEL allows easy access to 3G video streams from any device, anywhere, in real-time and with no need for a client download, resulting in an efficient and manageable large scale deployment.  The superior video quality and smooth operation enhances our surveillance and security offerings significantly.”

 

The initial deployment targets an installation base of 7,000 households throughout Spain. Home cameras, connected to the security system via ADSL can be accessed by 3G mobile subscribers, who are called when a manual or automatic alarm triggers the system. The cameras and other electrically controlled devices such as doors, gates and alarms can be activated by the number pad on the 3G mobile phone.

 

“Securitas Direct and CESTEL are pioneering new paradigms in home surveillance and security and leading the market towards widely-deployed remote interactive multimedia access. The remote voice and video communications service is also appealing for personal monitoring of the elderly, nannies, babysitters, household pets and more,” said Alon Barnea, General Manager of RADVISION’s Mobility & Service Provider Business Unit.
