"Motorola and Honeywell are both leaders in their respective industries, and our anticipated relationship is expected to bring a new level of expertise and resources to service providers in expanding their offerings to include connected home security," said Leon Hounshell, Division GM, 4Home Connected Solutions Group, Motorola Mobility.
The Picture of Connected Home Security:
Motorola and Honeywell's connected home security system would allow subscribers to protect, monitor and control their house while at home or away. A user interface on the TV, computer, smart phone or tablet hosts a range of customized services including security system control, energy management, alerts and notifications, and live video surveillance. 24/7 central station monitoring to meet a range of subscriber levels and needs are satisfied as well.
The concept solution combines the strengths of the two companies. Motorola's software platform was designed on open standards to enable service providers to offer a variety of new services that work across a range of devices and protocols. Honeywell's security systems and remote services provide end users with protection from burglary, fire and other threats, in addition to enabling system monitoring and management via the web and mobile devices. Together, Motorola and Honeywell will provide a turn-key security system that delivers Honeywell's trusted alarm panel hardware with device management from Motorola's open software platform, allowing simple integration of a range of connected security devices, scalability to millions of subscribers, and the infrastructure to support third-party services.
"We are looking forward to this collaboration with Motorola as it highlights the synergies in our approach to the connected home market," said JoAnna Sohovich, President, Honeywell Security and Communications Americas. "By integrating Honeywell security with Motorola*s software platform, we will once again be delivering scalable, mass-market solutions that optimize security functionality for both subscribers and service providers."
