Professional security installers have voted to award ADPRO iRespond and the HeiTel by Xtralis the accolade of Software/IT Products of the Year.
The ADPRO iRespond mobile app and HeiTel Nano, which is a video transmitter for body worn cameras, give the fire service and other first responders advanced notice of on-the-ground details in emergency situations.
ADPRO iRespond gives first responders event notification and live remote video views at sites protected by ADPRO Remotely Managed Multi-service Gateways (RMG), including the FastTrace 2 & iFT Series.
Via a simple PIN issued by the central monitoring station police, paramedics or the fire service can obtain recorded and live situational awareness of a threat so they can respond faster and more effectively. The free application is available for Apple mobile devices in the iTunes app store.
The HeiTel by Xtralis Nano transmitter transmits live and recorded video, bi-directional audio, and GPS information over wireless technologies including 4G, LTE and CDMA mobile phone technology as well as satellite, Wi-Fi and broadband networks. Battery powered the Nano transmitter works with a wide variety of cameras and is ideal for body-worn vest configurations.
Live and recorded video can be accessed remotely from a control room, PC, laptop, iPad, PDA, iPhone or Android device. Up to six people can access images simultaneously in different places via different methods.
“We are extremely proud to have won a PSI award three years in a row,” said Mick Goodfellow, vice President of European Sales for Xtralis. “Being chosen by professional security installers over six other solutions is a clear validation that Xtralis solutions continue to deliver value and innovation to security markets.
“Worldwide interest in iRespond and the Nano transmitter is incredible, as first responders embrace Xtralis technology for efficient threat response. These solutions not only protect end customers, but also reduce risk and increase effectiveness of first responders.”
