Banks, insurance companies and corporations rely on Chiron for their protection and Security , whilst the securitycompanies themselves trust our product to provide the critical communication links thatmake their businesses has always taken the view that independent testing by third parties is the onlyreal guarantee of product performance andcompatibility. For this reason all IRIS productsare independently tested and they haveachieved the coveted VdS approvals which isthe benchmark standard most widely recognised across Europe.

2 In an area such assecurity, where the fall-out from even a minorfailure can be huge, we believe this is the onlyresponsible route to testing andapprovals policyWho we areWhat is IP?Quite simply IP uses the Internet to carrysecurity Communications instead of the oldswitched telephone network. This means thatvastly more information, of vastly differentkinds can be sent without the need for dedicated lines; information such as voice,data and high definition CCTV. It also allowsthat information to be two-way, so a monitoring centre can communicate with aremote site, interrogate its health, controlcameras and even conduct remote 's also considerable pressure from thetelecommunications companies themselves orthe Security industry to switch to IP. BecauseIP uses less bandwidth than conventionalmethods, it frees up capacity to be used forother purposes such as on-demand , much of the European telecom network is in the processes of planning thewithdrawal of the services that makes non-IPsecurity Communications possible -so soonIP in Security will not be a choice, but acertainty.

3 IRIS Touch has rapidly become established asthe answer to IP based Security providing a simple, reliable and proven wayto convert existing, analogue, Security installations to modern, Internet-based IPcommunications, it has become Europe'smost widely used system - trusted by securityinstallers, monitoring centre operators and end-users widespread adoption is based onthree factors - flexibility, simplicity IRIS Touch range is able to convert virtually any existing analogue basedsecurity installation to IP, no matter its ageor manufacturer.

4 Similarly the receiving unitappears as a standard unit with a serialinterface to the monitoring centre IRIS Touch range has been designedto be simple to install, configure and use. Itrequires no deep knowledge of the Internetand is no more complex to set up than ahome broadband connection. This, in part,is due to a unique touch screen that guidesusers and installers through every step andmakes troubleshooting Touch makes full use of all the advantages that IP brings to Security communication , from remote troubleshootingto CCTV control, to communicationsresilience. It offers dual path backup by allstandard methods, flexible polling and simpler upgrade paths. Indeed, it allowsany analogue installation to become part of the IP benefits of IRIS TouchThe IRIS Touch range has been designed tobe comprehensive, so whatever ever yoursecurity requirements, there's always a modelto meet your needs.

5 From single path firepanels to dual-path units operating via GSM,IP, and PSTN*, IRIS Touch can work withalmost all legacy installations, turning theminto fully-featured IP Security systems quickly,easily and instance, our GSM diallers are among themost sophisticated available, and enable thishighly resilient backup route to be used withconfidence - guiding installers to the GSMprovider with the strongest, most reliablesignal for any given installation no matter itsgeographic the touch screen not only guidesinstallers, it also allows end-users to easilycheck system status and perform simpletrouble-shooting procedures - minimisingdowntime and greatly reducing unnecessaryand time-consuming guideTo help you identify exactly which model in theIRIS Touch range suits your particular needs,we've created a simple on-line guide thatshows the wide combination of primarymethods, backup paths, fire approvals andconnectivity that's available with IRIS visit details.
