DECT: bringing
benefits to home security
In the last issue of DECT Today, Panasonic’s new video intercom system was shortlisted for a DECT innovation award.
Sitting alongside a number of more traditional DECT telephony solutions, the video intercom platform (VL-SWD501) and accompanying surveillance camera (VL- WD812) demonstrated a new era in the use of DECT technology.
DECT technology for security is a relatively new phenomenon. But the technology has tremendous potential for use in domestic security systems.
Last year, Panasonic’s wireless video intercom system became a market leader in Japan. The wireless monitor even created a market for sub-monitors in Japan and increased the demand for a second monitor drastically. Panasonic Video Intercom systems were successfully launched in Europe in 2014. Part of this success is down to the ease of installation and stability that DECT gives the system.
The design means that there is no troublesome wiring required when adding on to the system. Simply update the settings
quickly and easily on the screen. You can add up to six sub monitors, two door phones and four DECT Wireless Sensor Cameras for large homes. It gives clear benefits for installers as well as end users. The wireless video intercom system saves cost and time, is applicable anywhere in the house and allows numerous flexible layouts. It also provides a super wide angle camera (horizontal 170 degrees, vertical 115 degrees), SD recording function, a large 5-inch touch panel and a slim and stylish design.
instance, like standard wired security systems, it’s possible to use the DECT Wireless Sensor Camera to capture heat and movement, making it possible to monitor locations that you are concerned about. Like conventional wired systems, at night a white LED shines to drive intruders away.
The electric lock release supports up to four doors, each of which can be operated from the main monitor or a sub monitor. The gate or door lock can be easily and quickly released from anywhere in the house.
Panasonic is committed to creating the smart homes of the future. It’s our passion to enable “A Better life (and), A Better World” as we promise through our brand.
We see the vast majority of devices ultimately being ‘smart’. That means, embedding connectivity in our products, whilst ensuring a reliable and secure network to allow for centrally managed platforms and developing cloud services, to provide more flexibility and scalability to each solution.
There is a lot of new innovation in DECT at the moment which is symptomatic of the health of the technology. Whether it is traditional telephony, security or video, we think DECT has a role to play in the smart home of the future.

The use of DECT makes it possible to check on visitors using the wireless monitor anywhere in the home and respond promptly. The wireless monitors come with a range of 100m, so that users can talk from the living room, kitchen or anywhere else in the home or garden. Up to two DECT repeaters can be connected to further increase the usage area.
There is no loss of functionality either. For
