PRESS RELEASE

Consumers Can View Live Footage on their TV Using Google Assistant, Now in 4K Ultra HD Resolution, Offering Increased Video Clarity & Safety

LONDON - August 22, 2018 - Swann, the global leader in DIY security, becomes the first company to launch Google Assistant voice control on its wired multi-camera 4K surveillance systems. Swann is providing users with a first-class home security system that has improved heat-sensing activity detection and amazing 4K Ultra HD video resolution. Easily viewed on TV, computer or handheld device through the HomeSafe View app, the 4K systems are designed for security deterrence with increased image clarity so you can see what’s really happening.

The 4K surveillance systems consist of multiple wired cameras and are designed for 24/7 security monitoring. Each system is fitted with Swann’s True Detect™ technology which allows the cameras to sense heat from large moving objects such as people or cars, and send push notifications to the user, while recording to a local hard drive. True Detect™ virtually eliminates false alerts from weather, rustling trees or small animals in the distance, so that you are only notified when there is a legitimate security concern. Additionally, you can use voice commands, such as “okay Google show me channel 1” or okay Google show me the front door”, via Google Assistant and Chromecast to see what the cameras see on your TV, hands-free.

“The ability to effectively monitor and protect your home 24/7 is an increasing concern for consumers’’, said Jeremy Stewart, Vice President of Global Marketing at Swann. ‘’With the Ultra HD 4K Series of DVRs, we are catering to both the professional market and the home, with the opportunity to stay alerted at all times with amazing 4K video quality and powerful digital zoom. With Swann’s True Detect™ technology you will always know what’s happening!”
