Designed for quick and easy installation by the user (D-Link claims that the system can be installed from scratch in about 30 minutes, using pre-set default settings) the system connects using the broadband router in the home. Once installation is complete, in-home activities and security options can be remotely monitored and controlled through a personalized Web portal account at mydlink.com. Alerts from wireless sensors around the home are instantly relayed by text, e-mail and voice-call to system owner. It’s also possible to set up alerts for designated contacts, or for activities at certain times of day.Once the Starter Kit is installed, the system can be expanded with a number of high-end features that are available as optional accessories, including infrared motion detection, door/window contacts, keypad, personalized key fobs, fire, carbon monoxide, and water leak detectors. The system can be used for low security applications too, such as letting working parents when their kids get home safely from school, or even monitoring pets during the day. A home video option is available with D-Link IP cameras which can capture and record events with remote access to the images available through the Web site or via mobile phones.A green companion to the Home Monitor is the D-Link Home Energy Monitoring Starter Kit. According to D-Link this Kit lets consumers measure the energy consumption of all electrical appliances in the home, turning the Home Monitor into the ultimate smart energy \'Green Machine\'. Once the Energy Monitor is installed and linked to the Home Monitoring Starter kit, consumers can use the MyDLink portal to program devices to power-down when the home is empty, helping reduce carbon emissions and reduce utility bills by saving electricity. The energy monitoring kit is equipped with two power-usage sensor adapters (additional sensors may be purchased separately) that plug into the home\'s wall sockets near where the electrical appliances are located. By plugging the appliances directly into the kit\'s sensor adapters, users can automatically download energy consumption data to their personal mydlink.com Web page where they have access to real-time power usage levels; daily, weekly and monthly breakdowns; cost conversions and graphical analysis.These two kits make a smart package for homeowners interested in upgrading their security and energy consumption options with one integrated and expandable solution.Scott Kargman is COO of Crossfire Media.

Home Manager is a web-based system that can push and manage content via mobile devices and social networking sites to give consumers an up-to-the-minute connection to their home. D-Link and Intamac are offering third-party vendors the ability to exploit APIs on the platform to add their own Zigbee or Zwave devices to the ecosystem. Black & Decker’s Kwikset Zigbee door locks are the first third party devices to be added.“It’s great to be able to integrate our Kwikset door locks with Home Connect Technology into the new D-Link system,” said Dave Albert, vice president of business development for Black & Decker’s US security hardware division. “We’re already seeing the benefits with innovative new use cases. For example, consumers can opt to have the system automatically unlock all doors in the event of a fire or medical emergency to facilitate immediate access by first responders. This is just one of many examples of how home control platforms can integrate different systems and add value without modification. It\'s a sign of the future.”Pricing and availabilityThe D-Link Home Monitoring Starter Kit has a MSRP of $149.99, while the D-Link Home Energy Monitoring Starter Kit has a MSRP of $99.99 MSRP. Both are expected to be available in the second quarter of this year through D-Link’s vast network of retail and etail outlets, and at D-Link’s online store.

This is according to research carried out by UK-based connected home provider Intamac. Interestingly, over half claimed they’d prefer the fee to be added to their monthly utility bill.The research carried out across consumers in the UK and North America to find out their attitudes towards remote home monitoring and control showed that there’s a keen interest in better managing energy consumption. Yet, while consumers in both regions are eager to have better remote control over their homes, paying for a separate service is another matter.“There’s often a big discrepancy between what consumers ideally want and what they’re prepared to pay for,” said Kevin Meagher, CEO of Intamac. “Consumers across the UK and US are aware of the benefits of monitoring and controlling your home remotely but don’t want the hassle of paying a separate bill for the service.” For utility companies to stay competitive, customer loyalty and retention is key. This means giving the consumer what they want and enhancing their experience. In this case it seems combining bills is the way forward.“As technology evolves and life becomes more hectic people are becoming less tolerant of numerous bills with individual charges and varying payment deadlines,” explained Meagher. “Utility providers need to offer a bill that combines all alerts and monitoring fees so all the consumer has to worry about is a one-off monthly bill.”According to research from the Energy Saving Trust, consumers find energy bills the hardest to understand, with 82% of people not even knowing what energy tariff they’re on. Added to that the current recession with people wanting to conserve energy and money it’s clear that a remote home monitoring and control system appeals. The trick is to make the payment for it appealing too.“Consumers want the best of both worlds – to protect their home and pinpoint cost savings, but without any additional hassle,” concluded Meagher. “Utility companies need to meet users’ growing demands but also recognise the opportunities offered to them if they can extend smart metering into the home – higher retention levels, increased service offerings and ultimately, higher profit margins. It’s a win-win situation all round.” - ends - About Intamac SystemsIntamac Systems is a market leader in the integration and networking of devices within the connected home.

The interface reduces the need for wireless providers to subsidize the femtocell by creating an opportunity to increase average revenue per user (ARPU).  Through this effort, Samsung Mobile is expanding the femtocell value proposition beyond voice and data coverage and “all you can eat” service plans. “Femtocell technology such as the Samsung UbiCell has proven to be a powerful and versatile asset for businesses and entrepreneurs who want dependable and secure voice and data services in the office or home,” said Paul Gilliland, Senior Director, Wireless Systems for Samsung Mobile. “The new open service environment enables new applications that are not possible to access with the macro network while using existing handsets. Through this new program we are empowering developers such as Intamac to create new applications, while also allowing enabling technology companies such as 4DK to expand their mash-up ecosystem to third party developers.” Intamac provides service delivery for the connected home. Its intelligent cloud-based platform allows communication service providers and utilities to offer affordable home security, energy management, telecare, video and home automation services. Its web-enabled service enables true plug-and-play device networking and wireless connectivity to its platform, which allows the mobile handset to become the controller for the connected home. 4DK’s platform extracts the mobile user’s context, for example whether the user is entering their home or leaving their office, to provide context aware notifications. 4DK’s two products solve application interoperability and enable contextually relevant services. SCoutTM is a telco-grade application switch for the network which enables rapid mash-ups of feature-rich, user-aware applications. SCampTM is open source intelligent middleware for the device which provides a simplified, consistent layer for developers to easily access valuable context data from the handset in order to develop contextually relevant applications. SCout and SCamp operate independently, however together they deliver SuperConnectivity® – a dynamic environment where voice and data mash-ups are optimized with user location, preferences and context. Samsung Mobile originally launched the UbiCell personal base station in April 2007 at CTIA Wireless, winning the “Best Cell Phone Accessory” award from LAPTOP magazine. Since its initial unveiling, the UbiCell was also honored with “Best of Innovations” and “Emerging Technologies” awards at CES 2008 and was named one of the “25 Most Innovative Products of the Year” by PC World. Samsung’s femtocell technology is currently available nationwide in the U.S. market with Sprint as the “AIRAVE” and with Verizon Wireless as the “Network Extender.” In November 2009, Samsung Mobile announced that the Samsung 3G UbiCell™ would be its next product in the femtocell portfolio, with commercial availability beginning in 2010. Both the original CDMA UbiCell and 3G UbiCell are ideal for enterprise, home and small office use. The femtocell devices are small plug-and-play base stations that work with users’ existing mobile phones to provide secure, in-home cellular service over existing public broadband networks. Samsung Mobiles 3G UbiCell benefits users by providing higher performance, lower cost coverage in a secure, easy to install solution for use at home.  The Samsung 3G UbiCell will also allow carriers to provide a cost-effective solution to offload increasing 3G traffic from the Macro network, provide superior signal  to address customer’s needs for  in-home coverage, help retain customers with excellent performance for all family members, and provide for new services such as home phone and incentives through bundled pricing. Samsung Mobile has an established track record as a world leader in CDMA, WiMAX, LTE and consumer electronics technologies and offers a complete solution with end-user devices, wireless core and access infrastructure.  Wireless carriers worldwide turn to Samsung Mobile to offer proven end-to-end wireless solutions.  The Samsung 3G UbiCell continues that trend with a higher capacity, dual-band, and dual-mode device to address all CDMA carrier needs to be deployed on a proven, fully integrated network solution. Commercial or entrepreneurial developers interested in creating applications to operate on the Samsung UbiCell open platform should contact: Brett White, MWW Group for Samsung Mobile       (817) 992-6770bwhite@mww.com About Samsung Telecommunications America Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC, a Dallas-based subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., researches, develops and markets wireless handsets and telecommunications products throughout North America.

Intamac will provide a new Smart Energy mobile & online portal monitoring service to work with Current Cost in-home display units, which gives consumers real-time information through the web and mobile handsets. With an easily comprehensible visual of how much energy they’re consuming and the ability to remotely switch devices on and off consumers can actively reduce their energy consumption.Simple and easy to set up and use, consumers can now connect their Current Cost real-time display unit via broadband to the internet, and see how much energy they’re using in the home via both the in-home display and on the web using the Intamac online portal interface. Consumers will be able to view and compare their electricity use on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis, for the whole home and down to individual appliance level. Consumption thresholds can be set, and when triggered, messages are sent by email, SMS, and even to social network and Twitter accounts.“The launch of this new service adds a useful and popular element to our ‘connected home’ offering,” said Kevin Meagher, CEO of Intamac Systems. “We know that in-home displays help consumers visualise their energy consumption and encourage them to make short-term reductions of around 10% on average. By providing a mobile & online monitoring and remote control service we’ll help consumers extend that saving over a much longer period, helping to track and change their energy consumption behaviour patterns. Tying smart energy management into our existing home security, video and telecare solutions means that consumers have an added incentive to conserve their energy, whether driven by environmental conscience or to save the pennies. It’s about making it easily accessible, tangible and understandable for the consumer.”Alongside its web interface account, Intamac also announced the introduction of an iPhone application that gives information on your energy use for remote access via your mobile. A monthly statement is sent to users of the service, outlining their relative consumption levels, carbon footprint, and giving energy saving tips and new product information.“If the information on your energy consumption is readily available and controllable via your PC or iPhone, you’re far more likely to adjust it accordingly,” continues Kevin. “Not only is this beneficial for the consumers’ wallet and their environmental conscience but it also gives service providers the chance to offer their subscribers a new range of value-added services. We’ve already proven that our services combine energy management and home security information in the ‘cloud’, to make complex technologies simple for both consumers and service providers to adopt and exploit.”- ends - About Intamac SystemsIntamac Systems is a market leader in the integration and networking of devices within the connected home.

This is according to research carried out by UK-based Intamac Systems Ltd, a leading global provider of home monitoring and control systems.Intamac surveyed consumers across North America and the UK on their knowledge of the ‘connected home’ and what they’d like to control in their home and why. The research shows that the main reason consumers want to monitor and control their energy settings in the house isn’t to reduce harm to the environment but to save money.“In the UK only 28% of respondents said their priority for remotely monitoring and controlling water and electricity/gas settings in the home is to save the environment. Interestingly, there were even fewer people in the US with a green conscience – just 26%,” said Kevin Meagher, founder and CEO of Intamac. “Their main priority across both regions is to save money, with a few people claiming safety in the home – for example preventing risk or damage from water leaks or fire hazards – as a third factor of choice.”With global warming still a key issue in both the UK and US, consumers need to recognise that conserving energy can have both financial and environmental advantages. The key is to provide an easy way of measuring the effects of energy reduction on your pocket, at the same time as on your household carbon footprint.“It’s a sure sign of the times. Consumers are having to prioritise on their spending and while saving the environment is obviously important, personal finances are at the top of the list,” explained Meagher. “This isn’t likely to change anytime soon if the predicted increase in domestic energy prices is anything to go by. We’ve learned that the best way to help the environment is to help the consumer which is who we’ve designed our new web-based smart energy monitoring service for. Linked directly to an in-home display, it’ll show the consumer where in the house they can save energy and so help reduce their monthly bills.”“Cutting energy costs has many benefits to the consumer and the environment. For the consumer to take it seriously all that’s needed is a simple way of monitoring energy consumption to help identify a way to cut usage levels and so reduce bills,” he concluded. - ends - About Intamac SystemsIntamac Systems is the market leader in the field of internet-accessed monitoring and control.

The new service, LOCKON, launches in Denmark in November 2008 with a media campaign which includes prime-time television advertising, and traditional print and online coverage. Backed by the energy company NRGi, one of the largest Utility companies in Denmark, LOCKON is now selling its new home security product & service self-install Kit, which is set to compete with the established traditional alarm system providers.Using a new range of IP based products connected to the monitoring and messaging platform developed by Intamac Systems, LOCKON is providing a new home security service that makes use of the fact that the vast majority of homeowners now have a broadband connection. Customers order the product online via www.lockon.dk, receive their product kit though the post and connect the control unit directly to their broadband router.  Several variants and specifications of Kit are available, some including IP cameras as standard, giving customers the ability to live-view into their own home whenever they want.  An installation video guide can be viewed from www.lockon.dk, guiding the customer through the plug-and-play installation registration and connection process.\"It is important to us that our alarm service is easy, secure and, importantly, available at the right price.  The products and monitoring service developed by Intamac have allowed LOCKON to be all of these things for our customers. It is an example of modern technology at its best: user-friendly and functional. The system is online 24 hours a day and ensures that your home is never home-alone,\" says one of LOCKON’s two founding Director’s, Torben Kring.By using the Intamac web-enabled monitoring service, LOCKON has been able to provide a “digitalized” version of neighbourhood watch.  Every LOCKON customer is given a personalized online account, through which they can generate and manage their own call-group of close friends and neighbours, editing details and updating information themselves whenever they need.  If an alarm is activated, messages are sent to the homeowner first, and then cascaded through this chain of friends and neighbours by voice call, email and text message, until someone responds.\"We think the neighbourhood watch and messaging feature which Intamac have created for us will be the cornerstone of the LOCKON proposition.  It is already accepted that people’s friends, family members and neighbours help to take care of their house or apartment when they are not home. Now we are giving customers in Denmark a new tool to improve their personal network.  It is a service that people will find very useful, and gives added peace of mind when you are away from home,\" says cofounder of LOCKON, Director Carsten Rasmussen.“We are delighted to see the LOCKON products and services come to market, with an exciting launch campaign” says Intamac CEO, Kevin Meagher; “We have worked hard to develop new capabilities and services for LOCKON, integrating with their innovative pay-per-sensor billing model and the Danish single-sign-on system.  Our partnership is strong, and we’ve already integrated advanced IP camera monitoring solutions into the LOCKON proposition, to help provide their customers with innovative added value service propositions.”                                                                                                                ***Ends***Notes to Editors: About LOCKON:LOCKON is a new IP based home security and monitoring proposition which is designed to take advantage of the fact that the vast majority of Danish homes now have a broadband connection.  The two founders of LOCKON worked for many years at TDC, where they were responsible for developing a wide range of the broadband products and services that are today found on the Danish market.  In addition to the two founders, the energy company NRGi is backing the new business venture.  NRGi is one of the largest utility companies in Denmark, and has been delivering professional security solutions to commercial & business customers for many years.  It is supporting the technology proposition created by LOCKON to deliver self-install domestic alarm and monitoring systems to homeowners across Denmark For more information, please contact: Carsten Rasmussen, Director and founderMobile: +45 20 30 62 98 Torben Kring, Director and founderMobile: +45 20 26 49 26  About Intamac Intamac Systems Ltd www.intamac.com is the market leader in the field of Internet accessed monitoring and control.

For example, consumers can opt to automatically unlock all doors in the event of a fire or medical alert. This is an example of how cloud-based platforms can integrate different systems without modification and it\'s a sign of the future.” “We believe we can give consumers the tools they need to be safe in the home and control the environment to reduce carbon emissions,” said AJ Wang, chief technology officer for D-Link.  “By working with Intamac we are able to complement our home networking offerings and expand our core computing capabilities.  Flexibility is the key with consumers who can choose from a range of exciting service packages with the basic level of service free and the option of various subscription packages designed to meet their particular needs.
