LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 21, 2007 Ć¢ā‚¬ā€œ Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced the launch of Pro-Watch with VISTA integration, a single interface that combines an easy-to-use access control system with video and intrusion. Pro-Watch offers a complete security management solution including access control, alarm monitoring, video badging and CCTV system interface. Pro-Watch with VISTA integration is the next generation of the Pro-Watch platform. It incorporates industry-leading security products into a powerful, comprehensive security solution for customers.

Ć¢ā‚¬Å“By offering a robust software interface that now includes VISTA compatibility to the enterprise market, Honeywell can now provide true end-to-end solutions for our customers,Ć¢ā‚¬Ā said Joseph J. Crowley, product marketing manager for commercial products, Honeywell. Ć¢ā‚¬Å“We now have a unique opportunity to provide integrated scalable solutions that are specifically tailored to help our customers grow their businesses.Ć¢ā‚¬Ā

Benefits of the integrated Pro-Watch with VISTA system include:

Ć¢ā‚¬Ā¢ Enhanced intrusion function. Adding VISTA to an existing Pro-Watch installation allows users to take advantage of added features such as centralized multi-site alarm management and real-time event and alarm reporting.

Ć¢ā‚¬Ā¢ Increased system security for customers. The combination of Pro-Watch with VISTA integration and HoneywellĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢s DVM (Digital Video Manager), Rapid EyeĆ¢ā€žĀ¢ Multi-Media Series and/or Fusion DVRs makes it easy to identify, retrieve, and play back events and alarms.

Ć¢ā‚¬Ā¢ Greater sales opportunities for dealers. Because it provides a three-in-one solution, dealers are able to offer end users substantial enhancements to existing systems or significantly improve the operation of new security systems by reducing training and labor.

Ć¢ā‚¬Ā¢ Incremental revenue advantages. The new Pro-Watch integration allows dealers to add digital video or intrusion functionality to existing access installations as customer needs change, creating additional revenue and increased customer retention.

Ć¢ā‚¬Å“WeĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢ve taken three industry-leading security products and merged them into one robust security platform,Ć¢ā‚¬Ā said Carlos Lopez-Reyna, Pro-Watch product manager, Honeywell. Ć¢ā‚¬Å“This is truly a complete Ć¢ā‚¬ĖœOne HoneywellĆ¢ā‚¬ā„¢ solution for our customers.Ć¢ā‚¬Ā
