It’s often said that South Africans are a resilient bunch, and history has proven this correct. Johnny Aucamp has joined iPulse Systems as its chief sales officer (CSO), adding a massive boost to the executive team.įrom the editor's desk: Security and resilience IP and analogue cameras provide a hybrid solution.įor more information contact Gus Brecher, Cathexis Africa, +27 (0),, Credit(s)įurther reading: Johnny Aucamp joins iPulse exco Dual compression algorithm capability (recording and transmission) for effective off-site monitoring.ġ0.

GE NETWORX HOME SECURITY SYSTEM FULL
These cameras can be either analogue or IP-based as the Cathexis system is a full hybrid solution.ġ. Also shown on the map are cameras which the operators can drag and drop into a virtual matrix. The high-level map interface shows a map of the entire estate, with the various dwellings coloured to show their status (armed, disarmed, alarm). The Cathexis system provides a full hierarchical interactive map interface which automatically drills down to selected maps upon messages received from the NetworX alarm panels. I believe Cathexis will revolutionise estate and town house security in this country and will become the front runner in estate security.” Patrick Pillay, regional sales manager for Elvey Security Technologies, sole distributor of the GE NetworX NX-8E alarm panels, says: “I am impressed with the expertise shown by Cathexis in the development of an integrated security solution aimed at an area that has previously lacked professionalism and has been swamped by crime. “The interface is via Ethernet with each panel connecting to the estate network via the Cathexis RS232 to Ethernet converter modules,” explains Cathexis Africa’s MD, Gus Brecher. In line with the Cathexis strategy of providing integrated solutions to the market (access control, fire panels, point-of-sale, weighbridges, scales, BMS systems etc), the integration with the NetworX allows the security and estate managers to manage their CCTV and alarm systems via a single user interface. The result is an integrated solution for single sites and large estates with multiple alarm panels and surveillance requirements. To solve the problem, I'd like to use a key fob (or any other 2+ button device) that will turn the lamp module on/off.Īny recommendations for a fob that I can use specifically for this one lamp module? I want the fob to only affect this one specific lamp module and nothing else.Cathexis, a South African developer and manufacturer, has recently completed a comprehensive integration project with GE NetworX NX-8E alarm panels from Elvey Security Technologies. The problem is that the on/off button is often unresponsive (and I've replaced the module twice, and the button is consistently frustrating, so it appears to be a flaw in the design and manufacturing). She uses the physical button to toggle it on and off. It has a window A/C unit, which is controlled with a GE z-wave on/off lamp module. I have an ADT pulse setup, so I know my options are limited in some ways when it comes to home automation.īut, I have a detached garage that my wife uses as an office.
