Essence Security, part of the Essence Group, has announced the integration of its innovative smoke-generating intruder prevention solution, MyShield, with monitoring station software providers worldwide.
The most recent integrations include EBÜS from German firm Accellence and American provider COPS Monitoring. Other software providers now integrated with MyShield include ESI France, Azursoft, Insocam, NXGEN, AlarmControl, Mastermind, Moni, Shrakrak, AlarmSpace, and SoftGuard. These developments will significantly extend the availability of Essence’s MyShield security smoke solutions across Europe, the United States, and South America.
MyShield’s integration with these monitoring software providers allows property owners globally to benefit from its highly effective and proactive intruder deterrent capabilities, ensuring 24/7 protection. The solution’s advanced detection features, real-time video verification, and audio warnings, combined with its rapid smoke intervention, enable monitoring providers to respond swiftly and decisively to security threats, enhancing overall safety and security for customers.
Additionally, MyShield Next, a variation of MyShield without an integrated camera, is now available through these providers. It caters to scenarios where visual verification is unnecessary or existing cameras are already in use. MyShield Next is also available as a wired device for areas lacking LTE CAT-M coverage and can be seamlessly integrated into existing security alarm systems through wired input. This versatile solution is suitable for various use cases and configurations, tailored to the specific needs of both end-users and installers.
“By partnering with these leading providers, we are making it possible for people around the world to experience the advanced protection offered by MyShield,” commented Dr. Haim Amir, CEO and Founder of Essence Group. “These integrations support our relentless pursuit of excellence in security, ensuring property owners receive the highest level of protection.”
The MyShield device deploys a harmless yet disorienting smoke screen within 30 seconds, forcing intruders to vacate the premises before they can cause harm. Acting as a ‘first responder,’ MyShield significantly reduces the time intruders have to operate, providing enhanced security for residential and commercial users. This is particularly beneficial in high-risk environments with lone workers or unoccupied buildings where rapid response is crucial.
“Working together with Essence Security brings a new level of sophistication to our monitoring capabilities,” said Hardo Naumann, General Manager for EBÜS at Accellence Technologies. “MyShield’s real-time intervention capabilities are setting a new benchmark in security response, and we are excited to offer this to our clients.”
“We are pleased to announce our partnership with Essence to bring MyShield’s cutting-edge intruder prevention capabilities to our alarm company clients and their customers across North America,” added Jim McMullen, President of COPS Monitoring. “With MyShield, security dealers now have access to an innovative security solution that can give their customers peace of mind, knowing our dispatchers will have new tools to deal with intrusions quickly and enhance the potential for mitigating loss.”
MyShield’s battery-powered system is easy to install and includes an integrated motion detector, high-definition video camera to eliminate false alarms, voice announcement, and rapid-action remote smoke deployment. It utilises cellular IoT networks and can function as a standalone app-based solution or integrate into existing security systems. The low-maintenance device is easily movable, ensuring properties have 24/7 security on demand.
