Security

Security solutions, which including intruder detection, access control and fire detection systems, are nothing new. In many instances they are a commodity provision that is well understood, readily available and easily installed in our homes.

So how do we make security smarter?

In our modern connected environments, the ability to share information is the norm - in our Smart Home, it’s no different. When security systems become interconnected with other devices within the home, it becomes possible to do a whole lot more:

• As the fire detection system activities, the Smart Lighting system illuminates the nearest exit and all Smart Energy devices are switched off
• As the door bell is rung, the remote control and TV alert the owner, who is able to active the magnetic door release via the remote control 
• As the security system triggers, the Smart Lighting system flashes exterior lamps at the front of the house and switches on all interior lamps,while at the same time window blinds are opened
• As the security system is armed, any opened windows are automatically closed

Our world-class platform, combined with your vision of the next generation Security product, is how we will collectively we make our Smart Homes increasingly integrated and safer environments.

Key applications

• Door and window sensors
• Infra-red and microware room sensors
• Door locks
• Fire alarms

Wireless solution

Our JN51xx wireless microcontrollers, combined with our wireless network protocol stacks, form the wireless connectivity backbone of the solution.

The JN51xx wireless microcontrollers are feature-rich devices, that in addition to an IEEE802.15.4 compliant 2.4GHz radio and 32-bit CPU, contain a wealth of on-chip peripherals to support your application needs. These include 21 GPIOs, ADC, DAC, PWM, timers, UART and SPI. If you need additional peripherals, then our industry standard I²C port combined with any of the devices from our I²C interface and connectivity portfolio, provides an optimal way for you to expand or enhance I/O capabilities to your individual requirements.

Our wireless network protocol stacks offer unrivalled levels of performance and functionality:

• JenNet facilitates easy-to-use, highly robust, low-cost networking 
• JenNet-IP is an enhanced 6LoWPAN network solution that provides IP-based networking to serve the 'Internet of Things'
• ZigBee Home Automation provides multi-vendor product interoperability

Each stack is developed in-house and is highly optimised to the JN51xx platform. Simple C-based API's are provided to streamline software development.
