DSC makes a powerful statement with PowerSeries Neo, a new feature-rich hybrid platform which leads the industry in redefining security.

PowerSeries Neo captures the flexibility of a modular, hardwired system with the simplicity of a wide range of wireless devices and peripherals, resulting in a ground-breakingly comprehensive and versatile hybrid system for residential through to medium-sized enterprises.

PowerSeries Neo offers an extensive selection of peripherals and devices which have been created with simplicity of installation and user-friendliness in mind. The bundled power of PowerSeries Neo is harnessed by distinctive software solutions, reminding you every step of the way that this isn’t your typical security system.

Infused with PowerG 2-way wireless communication, PowerSeries Neo’s revolutionary technology forms the core of an unprecedented line-up of features designed to decrease operational costs for dealers while providing ultimate reliability for end users.

PowerG offers a variety of industry-leading features to include:
Multichannel, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum technology to ensure the seamless transmission of secure communications between the devices and the control panel. Adaptive Transmission Power translates into up to eight years of battery life for the system’s devices and peripherals, reducing battery- replacement incurred costs. High transmission ranges allow for devices to reliably communicate within up to 2km/2187 yards line-of-sight, therefore reducing the cost of installing additional repeaters to service larger premises. TDMA synchronized communication technology prevents messages from colliding by splitting channels into various time slots, allowing for an increased amount of data transmission and ensuring that devices are able to consistently communicate when needed. 128 bit AES encryption offers exceptionally high level of protection against analysis tools and digital attacks. Other powerful features include protection against lost alarm messages, interference and frequency blocking.

PowerSeries Neo utilizes innovative, regionally compliant alarm verification solutions such as visual verification and two-way audio and sequential detection, greatly reducing incremental high costs that can be incurred by false alarms and unnecessary site-checks while adding to the security professional’s RMR. Leveraging numerous technologies as well as the highly effective Support Software, users can accurately but also remotely assess the situation inside the premises when an alarm is triggered by a burglary attempt, fire or other emergency. The software capabilities also eliminate the need for unnecessary site checks – ultimately saving time and cost while enabling responders to be alerted to any potentially dangerous situations.

The modular and scalable structure of PowerSeries Neo provides a cost effective, tailored solution for even the most demanding installations.

PowerSeries Neo’s control panels can be coupled with one or more of a complete line of expansion modules, offering potential for added expansion capabilities, features and services, protecting the investment in the system and ensuring growth in the future.

A wide range of devices leverage the most innovative technologies to capitalize on the convenience, versatility and superior capabilities which the 2-way wireless PowerG technology offers. PowerSeries Neo devices require minimal installation time due to less wiring requirements, allowing for installation of devices in even the most challenging areas. The broad selection of devices includes PowerG- enabled motion detectors, contacts, wireless keys and various life- safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Designed with a scalable approach to cater to future needs, the vast selection of available devices and peripherals available for PowerSeries Neo is seamlessly integrated with an exceptionally comprehensive remote service software suite to support innovative leading-edge features such as alarm verification and remote diagnostics.

Flexible communications are a prerequisite for a system as powerful and as feature-rich as PowerSeries Neo. As traditional phone lines become less common and more users choose VoIP or mobile phones, PowerSeries Neo offers optional cellular and/or IP communication methods to cover a wide range of installation needs. When connected to any PowerSeries Neo control panel, alarm reporting paths can be combined through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), cellular and/or IP channels. For installations where no phone line is present, the cellular and/or IP communicators provide high speed, reliable and secure alarm communication paths while maintaining the security professional’s ability to offer additional RMR services such as alarm verification.

The foundation of a ground-breaking technology platform like PowerSeries Neo lies in its innovative software solutions. Boasting the most comprehensive suite of support software in the industry designed specifically to help security professionals significantly cut time and cost invested in the installation, DSC propels PowerSeries Neo into the future of security systems.

DSC has created a powerful combination of software for PowerSeries Neo, featuring a comprehensive system administration software and a robust set of issue resolution tools which offers remote diagnostic, inspection and maintenance capabilities, to cater to a wide range of industry needs. The result is a powerful and easy-to-use suite of software focused on delivering unprecedented functionality through remarkably user-friendly interfaces.

Tailored to fit a wide range of operational structures, PowerSeries Neo’s software suites cater to a set-up as simple as a single onsite employee managing a single security panel through to entire teams remotely maintaining and controlling multiple panels through a network of PCs, significantly cutting manpower and maintenance costs.
Rich features such as firmware-upgrades, real-time status dashboards as well as real-time feedback ensure that all the data is not only rapidly processed accordingly to successfully manage maintenance and issue resolution, but also is packaged in an extremely user-friendly interface so that authorized users can easily run customized status reports as required.
