Security Spets Launches DragonFly Security System™ for Homeowners

STAMFORD, CT, SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 – Security Spets, LLC, a leading systems

integrator and full-service solution provider of dynamic, high-performance, integrated life safety,

electronic security, video surveillance and communications systems for commercial and

residential clients, recently launched the DragonFly “create-your-own” security system for

residential users.

Combining a “smartphone app” with an Ethernet-connected hub kit and a choice of internal

and/or external MotionViewer® cameras, the DragonFly security system installs in minutes

utilizing an existing home router. The hub can also be upgraded to accommodate Wi-Fi or

cellular connections for more flexibility and service backup in the event of outages.

Easy-to-follow setup instructions are provided through the DragonFly smartphone application.

“Every family and homeowner should feel secure in their residence and have the ability to keep

track of their loved ones and property, at a cost that won’t break the family budget,” said

Kimberly Rescigno, Director of Sales and Marketing at Security Spets, LLC. “With the new

DragonFly offering from our Alert Systems division, we are now able to provide cost-effective,

high-quality, do-it-yourself video surveillance products with professional central station

monitoring to all residential users, regardless of who they are or what their financial status is, as

long as they have a smartphone and a home router.”

Specifically designed to accommodate homes, dorm rooms, small offices and cabins, DragonFly

Security System cameras mount inside or out and provide the user with the ability to set

notification alerts, stream and view real-time video, or request snapshots of camera input. When

a video alert shows a real threat, the user simply taps “dispatch” on their app to send the video

to the professional monitoring station for dispatch to the police and first responders. Users opting

for the Premium monitoring plan get video–verified alarms sent directly to the monitoring station

for automatic action when they are unavailable.

The DragonFly application also allows remote arming and disarming of the system, adjustment

of camera detection sensitivity, adding users, and inviting followers to create a virtual

neighborhood and help increase community awareness of outdoor events. Accessing and

managing accounts can also be handled via a desktop application if the user does not have

access to a smartphone. The DragonFly system has received endorsements from law

enforcement and is designed to help support priority police response. The DragonFly Security

System technology has been endorsed by the National Sheriffs’ Association.

Additionally, an HIM director reported, “Our clinical documentation spets’ productivity has increased threefold since we implemented ChartWise CDI. We get through more charts now than we ever have, and we are able to look at additional diagnoses.”

The software’s intuitive design was cited as a differentiator along with the product’s strong querying capabilities. One director of medical records said, “ChartWise CDI is very intuitive.
