Luminite, the UK-based manufacturer of Genesis wireless PIR detectors, has integrated Dedicated Micros‚Äô (DM) network communications protocol into its ‚Äúsmart‚Äù IP Masthead Transceiver….
The Genesis wireless PIRs can now be monitored and managed remotely, using Dedicated Micros recorders and controllers. Graham Creek, Managing Director of Luminite says: ”Dedicated Micros recording and control systems, including the IP Infiniti, Oracle and SD Advanced product ranges, can now communicate by network to the Genesis IP Masthead – a transceiver which co-ordinates and manages data from up to 64 Genesis wireless PIR detectors. Critical alarms and tampers, such as intrusion detection, anti-shock and anti-cloaking and management alerts, like low PIR battery strength and weak wireless signal, can all be accessed. DM users benefit from a far higher level of PIR system intelligence. A site response or key holder alert for critical alarms can be initiated and a routine maintenance visit for low battery or weak wireless signal strength warnings can be instigated. PIR system intelligence of this type significantly increases the effectiveness and efficiency of CCTV systems, whilst reducing the likelihood of false alarms.”
DM users can map PIR detectors to video channels and an electronic “health-check” verifies the correct operation of all the PIRs within the Genesis system, every few seconds. The Luminite protocol is open, allowing for third party integration using a software development kit. However, digital and network recorder manufacturers wishing to integrate with the Genesis IP Masthead and enable this level of system functionality should contact Luminite on 020 8368 7887 or visit luminite.co.uk for more information.
