When we crossed the technology bridge almost 2 years ago by offering text messages and email bundled into our security packages, I wondered how long it would be until other security companies could figure out how we were doing it. When we continued to progress with a totally online billing system that allows our customers to see, change and update their billing information without ever having to pick up the phone, I knew we had taken another leap into the future, but with addition of video along with the intrusion, I think we have crossed over the top!
Fixing the blind security system has been no easy task and started several years ago when Rottweiler Security started asking the questions why so little information was provided to customers who have security systems. The typical monitoring solution was only interfaced with a "Are you OK? " response. Without the information provided to all members of the household, it seemed lame at best when lives might be in danger. Solution? Our Web Enabled Monitoring package! It fixed both the line cut issues with land lines, disconnected land lines from home owners and provided serious information to multiple owners and family members of intrusion information.
Now, we have crossed into another realm of technology by welding the security system with a video clip of the intruder. Rather than law enforcement arriving with little detail of who the intruder is, we now can provide the actual video clip of who they are! Armed with that information law enforcement can identify the actual intruders and a clip of what they did while on the premises. This provides the first level of video analytics. Since Rottweiler leads in video surveillance solutions in the Atlanta market, Rottweiler plans to introduce another level of video analytics to the commercial platform this year.
Called the Rottweiler Watchdog © ™ it also comes with cellular transmission since cellular transmissions so far will not be knocked down. The entire system is wireless and has several incredible features.
- Does not require power (How about that!),
- Does not require a land line,
- Comes in a weather proof cabinet,
- Can be used any place cellular signal is available,
- Camera's can be up to 600 feet away.
The best part of it all, its mobile! When you move, you do not need to replace your security system hardware! Simply remove the camera components and off you go. Installation is quick. So if you are only going to live in a home temporarily, set up your security system anyway and no need to redo the contract, you just update the address location. Then when you move, either across town or to another state, you have a solution that will work with you!
