Las Vegas – DMP held its annual Owners Forum at the Encore Hotel & Resort in Las Vegas the day before ISC West Exhibits opened. As the forum, the company revelaed two new products that DMP dealers will soon be able to add to their offerings: a doorbell camera and gunshot detection technology.
The new DMP Doorbell Camera will be available this summer. It will allow residential and commercial customers to answer their doors remotely from their mobile device. Customers can see, hear, and speak to visitors through the Doorbell Camera by using their mobile device.
The Doorbell Camera will deeply integrate into the existing DMP Virtual Keypad App and control panel family. Attendees of the Owners Forum saw how customers could lock/unlock doors, arm/disarm their system, and receive notifications about their system straight from the Doorbell Camera screen.
“The Doorbell Camera is the first of its kind that fully integrates from App to Panel, significantly extending the remote automation features available through the Virtual Keypad App,” explained Mark Hillenburg, DMP’s Executive Director of Marketing.
Doorbell camera hardware will also support the use of proximity readers and advanced video verification tools, making the Doorbell Camera ideal for both commercial and residential markets.
The Gunshot Detector is a new detection device that identifies gunshots within an indoor area, similar to the way a motion detector or smoke detector works, in conjunction with a standard alarm panel. The device detects gunshots through advanced acoustical analytics that reside within the device.
This incredibly accurate technology discriminates gunshots from any other loud sounds and then communicates its detection as an alarm to the central station, local management software or system users through push notifications allowing an appropriate response by first responders or onsite guards.
This simple to install and manage system is impervious to privacy concerns because it is only connected to a traditional zone on an intrusion control panel. Unlike existing gunshot technology, the DMP detector does not require an additional special system, is easy to install and is very affordable.
“We believe the Gunshot Detector will give first responders the information they need to accurately assess active shooter situations, providing precise real-time information as to the location and movement of perpetrators,” Hillenburg said.
Through the integration of our access control systems, schools, banks, and other public buildings can be immediately locked down to start appropriate safety procedures. The DMP Gun Shot detector will be available this summer and is compatible with DMP XT and XR Series Panels.
