LILIN Americas, an entity of Taiwan based IP video manufacturer
Merit LILIN and UK based GJD Manufacturing announced a new joint initiative designed to accelerate the adoption of IP-based perimeter and intrusion detection technologies throughout the North American video surveillance sector.
The two companies are teaming up to reduce false alarms common in standard motion detection sensors that occur while monitoring and illuminating large areas for intruders, while at the same time providing convenient, cost-effective compatibility with most major VMS and home automation systems, including LILIN surveillance,
Mirasys Carbon,
Milestone
XProtect,
Wavestore, Control4, Crestron and RTI.
As part of the agreement, LILIN will distribute GJD presence detection, LED illuminators and security lighting systems through its network of North American distributors. This step brings added depth to LILIN's already extensive portfolio of IP-based video products and gives its customers new technology that complements the company's solutions.
"The addition of the GJD product line is an excellent fit for us," remarked Joe Cook, Vice President of LILIN Americas. "Our clients will have access to genuine GJD products and with the launch of automation drivers, dealers will have an increased amount of solutions available for high-end applications in motion sensing and illumination with easy integration over IP using PoE."
Mark Tibbenham, Managing Director of GJD, said: "Teaming up with LILIN Americas is a great opportunity and honor for GJD. Our detectors and illuminators will sit alongside and interconnect with LILIN's world leading technologies making them readily available to LILIN's already extensive customer base and Custom Integrators."
Reducing false alarms
Even with advanced motion detection in place, false or nuisance alarms can be tripped by an event as simple as a change in the level of sunlight in the monitored area. False alarms needlessly waste the time, effort and money of on-site security or first responders when they must come to the scene.
GJD employs unique optical adjustment systems and programmable detection beam ranges to avoid false alarms caused by environmental factors and boundary overspill, giving advanced warning to security personnel of actual intrusion attempts so they have time to respond and protect the facility against theft, liability issues, attack or sabotage. GJD sensors precisely detect intrusion and greatly increase the effectiveness of onsite security, access control systems and video surveillance equipment.
