Protection One Introduces Home and Business Security iPhone AppNov 13, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Protection One, Inc., a provider of security systems to homes and businesses, has developed an iPhone application that allows users to access their security panels and receive real-time security updates from their iPhone or iPod touch. With the eSecure application from Protection One, the company noted, users can confirm that their security system is armed while on vacation or turn off the alarm while at work to let in cleaning crews or other contractors. When armed, the eSecure system will send text or e-mail messages when motion is detected, a particular door is opened, in the event of a flood, if high carbon-monoxide levels are recorded and even when a liquor or medicine cabinet, safe or other sensitive area is accessed. "No one wants to spend a vacation or business trip worrying about leaving the garage door open or if the security alarm is set," said Protection One President and CEO Richard Ginsburg. "This application puts security at your fingertips and keeps you connected, even when you're away." The application maintains safety and security with multiple layers of password protection. A standard Protection One keypad code is required for access to the eSecure keypad, which is neither stored on the device nor visible to anyone looking at the screen.
