Corporativo Inalarm S.A. de C.V. recently held at the Sheraton Buganvilias Resort & Convention Center in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the event called "Interactivity and automation, the new trend in alarms". In it, meetings and training sessions were held that served to publicize the new technology offers to Inalarm distributors, through practical demonstrations and technological training.
The latest trends in alarms were also announced, which seek to turn the history of this segment in the Mexican market upside down. All this, thanks to the strategic and cooperation alliance carried out by the wholesale distributor with the best positioning in the market of professional equipment and systems for electronic security applications in Mexico, Inalarm, with 2GIG by Linear (www.2gig.Com) and Alarm.com (www.alarm.com).
Among the details revealed, it is worth noting that Linear, with its product line "2GIG Go! Control" and Alarm.com, with the best platform in terms of Interactive Services, lead the field of interactive residential security, video monitoring and home automation, and together they offer a highly integrated wireless solution, for residential and commercial applications.
It is worth highlighting the technological innovation in monitoring services, through the incorporation of new products and services that allow remote access to security systems, which will help to retain customers with a value-added service and attract more business opportunities for Monitoring Centers. Likewise, the way these technologies offer the end user access and control to their intrusion panel remotely through a laptop, smartphone, tablet or Iphone with Internet access.
It should also be noted that this synergy will allow Mexican security companies to easily offer and install a unique solution with the most innovative interactive features on the market. Given that the dedicated bidirectional cellular connection allows an easy and economical installation, and also provides advanced services for the operations of current monitoring centers, a segment that will most likely exploit and take enormous advantage of the benefits of this technological and commercial alliance, which will allow Mexico to be at the forefront.
Lucy Rivero, President of Corporativo Inalarm S.A. de C.V., said that "During the more than 25 years of Inalarm in the market we have been the largest sellers of services and products related to alarms in Mexico, and I must emphasize that during all this time we had not seen such an important change for the end user. We are very excited about this alliance with 2GIG by Linear and Alarm.com, and that they have chosen us as their distributors in Mexico. I also want to emphasize that the technology and services we will introduce will revolutionize the country's alarm market, since we will no longer be an intangible and we will have a greater closeness with the user of these products."
In the same way, he said that "these new services increase security, given the technological integration that currently exists and that in turn the products that we are here presenting will deliver to users. Now it will be possible for anyone to access services that were not previously intended."
"Alarm.com enables 2GIG hardware to connect to your home or small business and know in detail what's going on. You can look at the site you want in your residence or office through video, open the locks remotely, turn on or off the lights, manipulate the indoor air conditioning system, among countless other functions," said Silvia Madrigal, director of global business at Alarm.com, who also said she is convinced that "this alliance will be a great success for the Mexican market, because it is an innovative solution that has been very successful in the United States and that currently has more than one million users in this country alone."
On the other hand, Robert Reton, business development manager for Latin America of Linear said that "this is a very important moment for three companies (Inalarm, 2GIG by Linear and Alarm.com), because here, in Mexico, it is the first launch of this product and service in a country outside North America, which is a milestone for the region. It is also the beginning of what will be the very strong expansion in the Latin American region."
Reed Grothe, Senior Vice President of Global Business Development Alarm.com, commented: "We are very pleased to be working with Inalarm to introduce the latest technology in interactive security services to the Mexican market. Together, with Linear and the 2GIG product line, we have a proven track record of innovation that has promoted new business opportunities for our dealers.
