Chamberlain®, the world's largest garage door opener manufacturer and leading do-it-yourself access control innovator, introduces the Wireless Office Alert System (Model CWV1000). This wireless, motion-activated, two-way alert and intercom system provides an affordable, convenient and easy-to-install access control solution ideal for small business and home office owners.
Designed for two-way communication, the Wireless Office Alert System includes one motion sensor, with a built-in microphone and speaker, and a base receiver unit also equipped with an intercom. As a pedestrian or vehicle approaches, the motion sensor located outside the office or home alerts the system user of the presence of a visitor with light and sound detection. Simultaneously, the intercom is activated on both the motion sensor and base receiver to provide secure, crystal clear two-way 900MHz digital communication. The weather-resistant motion sensor features a wide detection area, transmitting a signal to the base station which can be placed up to 1,000 feet away. The motion sensor also features an adjustable sensitivity control to prevent false alarms from small animals, while the receiver can be muted for up to an hour. Small business or home office owners can also expand the system to include as many as eight sensors, allowing multiple zones to be monitored.
Ideal for small businesses and home offices, the Wireless Office Alert System can allow employees to screen clients or guests and accept deliveries when used in areas such as loading docks, receiving areas, front entrances and reception or lobby areas, resulting in additional security surrounding the business or home as well as added convenience. Portable and lightweight for indoor or outdoor use, no wires or power connection is required for installation or functionality, allowing for easy, do-it-yourself installation and flexible placement of the sensor and base station receiver. The base station and sensor are powered by AA batteries, though if preferred, the base station can be plugged in with a provided AC adapter for a longer life.
"Whether a large corporation or a home office, protecting the access points of your business is important to your business's security as well as the employees within your organization," states Sandy Scherschel, vice president, sales and marketing – retail products.
