A POWERFUL NEW WIRELESS PIR DELIVERS HIGH PERFORMANCE AND SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS

PRESS RELEASE APRIL 2008
Luminite Electronics have launched their new GENESIS Wireless Key Point for remote monitored CCTV sites. The advantage with a wireless key point over hard wired alternatives is that it significantly reduces installation costs and provides the flexibility of a portable key point as well.
The new system is fully duplex allowing the operator to get conformation of whether the system has been set or un-set. The system is secure by way of a five digit PIN providing 100,000 differs. The radio transmission is fully encrypted and the encryption key is changed on each transmission. This method ensures the highest security. If a wrong PIN is entered more than three times a relay will open on the receiver.
There are two types of key point, Static and Portable and any number of mixed key points may be used on any one system. Both models are powered by a 9 volt PP3 lithium battery (not supplied) which provides over two years of operation on an average site. The static model is in a carbon fibre finish and is waterproof to IP66.
Both portable and static models have an operating range of up to 300 metres and the static model incorporates anti tamper. For more information on Genesis system see www.luminite.co.uk/genesis

LONDON, 2 FEBRUARY 2007 - Luminite Electronics, the UK's leading manufacturer of intelligent Passive Infra Red detectors, has launched Genesis, an exciting new wireless solution. Costing less than traditional solutions, this new PIR offers a range of powerful and innovative features and will meet the requirements of the most demanding CCTV and security applications

The Genesis wireless PIR has an improved detection range with a choice of four different lenses to meet most installation applications. In addition, it can transmit signals well beyond 1 km depending on environmental conditions and, with the use of repeaters, will achieve more than ten kilometres. Using wireless PIR detectors enables installations to easily conform with BS8418 standards which requires all PIRs to be installed in view of cameras and looking inwards. The unit is battery operated with an operational life of up to two years before they need changing.

Genesis features a new algorithm that increases sensitivity whilst reducing incidences of false alarms from events such as moving trees, sunlight reflection, flapping tarpaulins and plastic bags. There is also an anti- cloaking feature as well as shock sensing and anti-tamper. Uniquely Genesis offers a remote text output that enables alarm messages to be recorded onto video pictures using a DVR. These alarm messages can also be viewed in the monitoring centre alerting staff if attention to a particular unit is required.

Genesis is ideal for larger deployments as up to 64 PIRs can be connected on a single system for maximum coverage. In addition to event detection and tamper alerts, each unit transmits a wide range of data including battery condition, unit ID and pulse count setting, which enables the sensitivity of each PIR to be tailored to local conditions. This data can also be received using an optional handheld instrument enabling systems to be quickly and easily walk tested or configured by a single person.

According to Graham Creek, Managing Director of Luminite Electronics: "The new Genesis PIR has a range of advanced features and delivers improved performance without requiring costly dual technology systems. It will enable installers to increase the resilience and reliability of their systems whilst achieving compliance with BS8418."

Genesis is one of the strongest PIRs currently available with a waterproof casing constructed throughout from polycarbonate, offering greater robustness and resistance to cracking. Genesis does not use any metal ball joints to eliminate the fatigue and fracturing that often occurs as a result of corrosion on traditional units. In addition, build quality is maintained to the highest standard using the latest SMT techniques and gold plated circuitry for greater reliability.
