Zicom launches new home security device

Zicom Electronic Security Systems Ltd announced a foray into the consumer segment with the launch of ZICOMhome, a security system for homes, in Jaipur.

Talking about the latest venture, Shirish Deshpande, vice-president (sales & operations, consumer service group), Zicom Electronic Security Systems Ltd, said, "ZICOMhome is our biggest launch yet and through it we will offer customers protection, safety and freedom from fear."

Deshpande added, "We have launched ZICOMhome nationally and will cover 24 cities in the first phase. We have plans to set up over 600 retail outlets in the next three years. The focus will be on the northern region with around 200 retail outlets planned in the states of Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. In Jaipur, we plan to open two retail outlets."

ZICOMhome is an easy-to-operate electronic security system that works at the press of a button.

The critical element of ZICOMhome is the main panel, which is the brain of the system. The central monitoring station (CMS), an innovation which has revolutionised electronic security in India, has also been put into operation to monitor every home using the device.

The CMS keeps a watch on the homes using the tool, thereby enabling ZICOMhome response executives to monitor a customer's premises at all times, regardless whether he is at home or away.

"We are also launching ZICOMbusiness which includes TFT monitor, digital video recorder and colour dome camera. The product is designed to suit the security needs of shops and business establishments.

"A state-of-the art video monitoring station (VMS) has been set up to offer 24x7, 365 days of video monitoring service. With the help of the VMS facility, any act of intrusion can be viewed live. It will also enable the consumer to see the recorded images later," he said.

The company also promises users of ZICOMhome and ZICOMbusiness an insurance cover up to Rs 3 lakh on burglary. It also guarantees free replacement of ZICOMhome products within the warranty period of 12 months.
