The new outdoor motion detector is powered by extremely sophisticated technology and is able to differentiate various types of movement, distinguishing between human movement, falling branches and other natural motions and the movements of pets, ensuring reliable detection of real threats", said Sales and Marketing Director of Visonic, Izi Amado.

He said that they have a presence in over 100 countries and the biggest growth is from residential customers.

Amado said that this system was developed after eight years of research.

It was manufactured in Israel and was built to the highest manufacturing quality standards using ISO 9001 certified process. Users can program up to four telephone numbers into the PowerMax+ so that when a threat is detected and the system is triggered, it will immediately alert those numbers either through an automated call or a text message.

Visonic established in 1973 is a company based, in Israel, and is the world's leading manufacturer of wireless security systems. They produce over two million systems every year in more than 100 countries including China, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and have over 90 registered patents.

CEO of Singer Asoka Peiris said that Singer introduced a home security system in 2006. Singer has doubled its share and sales revenue from 2008 to 2010, a 100 percent increase.

He said that security systems were a very small part of the Singer business but in the future it will be a medium line. Singer covers the entire island and has seven regional service centres and more than 100 service franchise agents.
