Many people are turning to internet protocol (IP) cameras to monitor their home or business from a remote location. This technology is readily available, affordable and easy for “do it yourselfers” to install and operate. The cameras are viewable on any PC with a logon pass code that is set up by the user. Many providers also offer DVD recorders or PC cards that can record 24/7 for viewing and archiving at any time during a 30 day period.
What will they think of next?
There is a little known product that was designed for yacht security surveillance that will soon be discovered by the residential and commercial market consumers. What separates this system from the rest starts with the fact that it was built to operate under the harshest conditions. If it can withstand the marine environment, it will prove to be rock solid in other applications.
The Marine Guard WatchMate system adds a few features that are perfect for monitoring your home or business in a multitude of ways that other IP systems don’t. The systems come with available wireless security and supervisory devices that make it quite unique. You can add:
· Wireless contacts to monitor door or window openings.
· Wireless temperature sensors to monitor your desired hi and low temperature thresholds.
· Wireless high water sensors can be used to detect flooding in vulnerable areas.
· Cameras have built in motion detectors that can activate when movement is detected.
· Wireless appliance modules that can turn lamps and appliances on and off.
· Wireless Magnetic key keypads to arm/disarm complete system as you leave/enter building.
These systems are virtually plug and play and can be installed in very little time by anyone. Another incredible feature is that you can set the macros on each and every device to function when and how you would like. This means greater flexibility in having the system adjust to your needs instead of the other way around.
The main feature of these systems is they can be set to text and e-mail you and anyone else you desire directly through the gateway, over your existing internet connection. There is no need to use a central monitoring company and you are in control of all aspects of your IP system remotely from anywhere in the world.
One person I know uses the system in a unique way. He has a large investment in a salt water fish tank that he can look at over the internet, be alerted of hi or low water temperature, detect overflows under the tank, remotely turn lights on and off and even shut the filter down remotely if it’s pumping water out. Now that’s thinking outside the box! Visit the Marine Guard WatchMate site to see how this outstanding concept might work for you.
