Crime is on the increase and millions of South Africans cannot afford fully-fledged security and alarm systems, backed-up by armed response. Wireless communications specialist TruTeq Devices has launched the most affordable plug ‘n play wireless security solution available today.

The AG50 Series Axesstel Home Alert System is easy-to-set-up and can be used in homes or other locations as a self-monitored alert notification system. It has a built-in cellular module that can send an SMS or place a phone call to up to eight pre-assigned numbers when the sensor detects motion. This is also ideal for linking to a neighbourhood watch.

TruTeq Devices CEO Derick Roberts says it is perfect for both urban and rural areas. “Neighbourhood connectivity ensures a rapid response, people can now easily notify friends and neighbours via call or SMS when motion is detected. Farmers can also link to one another on an alert notification basis. This increases chances of a close-by response.”

Axesstel is a leading provider of wireless voice, broadband access and connected home solutions for the worldwide telecommunications market. The AG50 Series Axesstel Home Alert System has an AC adaptor with a 9V backup battery that provides continued functionality in the event of a power outage.

Furthermore, it has remote control convenience, the arming and disarming of the AG50 Alert System can be triggered by keypad input and also by sending a remote SMS. It is easy to setup, configure and use.
