Essence Security, a part of Essence Group, a leading technology group developing and supplying wireless, cloud-based security solutions for homes and businesses, has announced it will be collaborating with Point Port Fichet, France’s leading locksmith network and a subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY AB (ASSAB:Stockholm).
The partnership aims to distribute and implement Essence’s MyShield connected smoke-generating intruder prevention solution across France.
MyShield is available for private properties, retail establishments and small businesses — specifically those dealing with large volumes of tax revenue — to fortify these spaces against varying security threats.
Through this partnership, Point Fort Fichet will offer Essence’s MyShield system as a complement to its portfolio of preventative security solutions, which helps consumers gain control of their security from a smartphone or tablet.
A unique product in its category, MyShield operates by deploying a veil of harmless yet disorienting smoke that fills a room in 30 seconds, forcing intruders off premises before they can cause harm to people or property.
According to Essence, MyShield acts as a ‘first responder,’ narrowing the window of time in which intruders can operate.
MyShield’s battery-powered system includes an integrated motion detector, high-definition video camera to eliminate false alarms, voice announcement and rapid action remote smoke deployment.
It utilizes cellular IoT networks and can be used as a standalone app-based solution or integrated into existing security systems. The device can also be easily moved to ensure properties have 24/7 security on demand for reliable protection.
“In today’s dynamic security landscape where threats are constantly evolving, it’s not enough to just passively watch; there must be action and intervention.” said Dr. Haim Amir, CEO and Founder of Essence Group.
“Partnering with a security leader like Point Fort Fichet ensures home and business owners in the French market will have direct control in protecting their assets. Together we are building on our combined expertise to deliver a comprehensive service that makes properties all over the country safe and secure.”
