InGrid Delves Into Digital Home Protection

InGrid just unveiled the first digital home protection products available for distribution through broadband providers. Digital home protection promises to solve many of the major shortcomings of analog security systems, such as false alarms, short battery life, and high vulnerability to intruders.
Using wireless technologies, InGrid creates an invisible grid of security throughout the entire home, offering protection and control without extensive installation costs. InGrid's protection network is comprised of a portable handset and broadband-enabled base station that communicates with wireless self-adhering window and door sensors that immediately report any change in activity you choose to monitor. Broadband integration keeps the system always on and always connected to its monitoring service, and all components can plug into one or more telephone jacks for back-up if broadband service is interrupted.
