G.I. Security, leading distributor of security systems in Greece for more than 30 years is now distributing the NX-KNX gateways for the Caddx alarm systems (GE, Interlogix). Elausys and G.I. Security agreed to collaborate on expanding the potential of KNX integration for security systems in Greece.
To G.I. Security : Why are you interested in the NX-KNX gateways from Elausys ?
KNX has become popular throughout the years. G.I. SECURITY S.A. listens the needs of the market and found the best NX-KNX module from Elausys for the high quality and excellent customer service that they preserve. The demand for building management systems is continuously increasing. Whether in a single-family house or in an office complex, the demand for comfort and versatility in the management of air-conditioning, lighting and access control systems is growing. At the same time, the efficient use of energy is becoming increasingly important. More convenience and safety coupled with lower energy consumption can however only be achieved by intelligent control and monitoring of all products involved. This however implies more wiring, running from the sensors and actuators to the control and monitoring centres. Such a mass of wiring in turn means higher design and installation effort, increased fire risk and soaring costs.
In order to transfer control data to all building management components, a system is required that does away with the problems of isolated devices by ensuring that all components communicate via one common language: in short, a system such as the manufacturer and application domains independent KNX Bus. This standard is based upon more than 24 years of experience in the market, amongst others with predecessor systems to KNX: EIB, EHS and BatiBUS. Via the KNX medium to which all bus devices are connected (twisted pair, radio frequency, power line or IP/Ethernet), they are able to exchange information. Bus devices can either be sensors or actuators needed for the control of building management equipment such as: lighting, blinds / shutters, security systems, energy management, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, signalling and monitoring systems, interfaces to service and building control systems, remote control, metering, audio / video control, white goods, etc. All these functions can be controlled, monitored and signalled via a uniform system without the need for extra control centres.
We have been the exclusive distributor of CADDX USA for more than 30 years in Greece and Cyprus and connecting CADDX main panels with KNX is very important for us and we will promote this module to become popular in our region.
CADDX panels are already installed in many houses in Greece and Cyprus and it is one of the most popular alarm systems. KNX is a new technology in Greece and many old houses try to install it and adopt Smart Home using the existing alarm panels.
