ROKONET is launching a new Outdoor Detector series – WatchOUT™The new WatchOUT™ has 4 detection channels and a camera option!
Israel, Nov 7th, 2005 – ROKONET, a leading provider of comprehensive security solutions worldwide, is launching a new outdoor detector series – WatchOUT™. WatchOUT is the first of its kind to include 4 detection channels- 2 MW and 2 PIR channels; effectively solving the pressing issue of high false alarm rates from outdoor volumetric detectors. WatchOUT is the ultimate detector for the unstable outdoor environment and was recently awarded the Highly Commended Alarm Product prize at the 2005 Detektor International Awards in Sweden.
WatchOUT™ exercises Selective Event Recognition to distinguish between false alarms and real intrusion events. The Selective Event Recognition is enabled by the two new breakthrough Rokonet technologies:
Digital Correlation Technology compares between the signals of 2 PIR channels with separate optics to ensure that only target creating a similar and correlated signal in both PIR channels trigger an alarm, thus eliminating false alarms from rapid temperature changes, wind gusts and pets up to 70cm (2’4’) head height.
Sway Recognition Technology uses 2 Microwave channels for recognizing and excluding swaying objects such as bushes or tree limbs.
WatchOUT detectors include an optional camera and unique remote control & diagnostic capabilities when installed with ProSYS Integrated Security Systems. The detector has a wide range of professional swivels and a MW “Anti-Collision” feature that enables adjacent detector installations. Additional features include Active IR for Anti-Mask and “Dirty Lens” alerts, a protective hood and IP65 environmental rating.
ROKONET is conducting a worldwide campaign whereby it is inviting installers to purchase the WatchOUT DT detectors and enter a prize draw for a 4x4 vehicle. Each WatchOUT DT package contains a serial number; to enter the draw installers are requested to enter the number in a website site form at: www.rokonet.com/watchout4x4.

Sept 05- ROKONET launches iWISE Green Line Grade 3 DetectorsThe new iWISE Green Line detectors comply with all relevant European and UK standards, and take Grade 3 one step further!
Israel, Sept 15th, 2005 – ROKONET, a leading provider of comprehensive security solutions, is launching its new iWISE Green Line DT AM series. The new iWISE Green Line detectors comply with all relevant European and UK standards: EN 50131-1 Grade 3, PD6662 Grade 3, TS50131-2-4 Grade 3, Environmental Class 2. The iWISE Green Line DT AM detectors have Active IR anti-masking and include ROKONET’s patented Anti-Cloak™ Technology (ACT™) for superior detection and false alarm immunity. The new series will be sold worldwide by ROKONET’s extensive network of distributors and partners.
The Green Line is a new concept in detectors that follows environmentally friendly guidelines by avoiding surplus radiation emission. In the Green Line detectors, the active MW channel can be disabled when the alarm system is in “unset” mode, thus eliminating surplus MW radiation while occupants are in the premises. ROKONET has decided to implement this new “Green Line” concept in the iWISE Green Line DT AM series, which is available in two models; 15m and 25m coverage.
Another member of the iWISE Grade 3 detectors developed by ROKONET is the iWISE QUAD AM with 15m coverage. iWISE QUAD AM upgrades ROKONET’s best selling iWISE QUAD and CoSMOS QUAD models to Grade-3 requirements, with the addition of active IR anti-mask and other features required for Grade 3 installations.
All iWISE Grade-3 detectors include built-in EOL resistors, selectable via jumpers, enabling simpler installation.

May 05: Rokonet Presents New Products at IFSEC 2005 Specialty detectors, Wireless Security and Remote Control Highlight Rokonet's Stand
Birmingham, UK, May 16th, 2005 – ROKONET, a leading provider of comprehensive security solutions, is launching several of its latest R&D developments at the IFSEC 2005 exhibition. The products being showcased are WatchOUT – Rokonet’s outdoor detector series and WisDom – the new Wireless Stand Alone Security System. In addition to this, the company is introducing its innovative Remote Control & Diagnostics capabilities of the ProSYS integrated security system.
With the WatchOUT series, ROKONET has come to terms with one of the most vexing problems of security installers – maintaining high levels of detection in the outdoor environment while eliminating the high numbers of false alarms due to the unstable nature of this environment. WatchOUT has unique selective event recognition capability that allows it to differentiate between false alarms and real intrusion events using Two PIR channels and Two MW channels– the first detector of its kind to do this. WatchOUT’s innovative Sway-Recognition Technology (utilizing Two MW channels) measures the travel distance of approaching and receding targets - identifying whether the target is a swaying branch or a moving intruder. The Digital Correlation Technology (Two PIR channels) compares the signals of two independent PIR channels, ensuring that only targets returning a similar signal in both channels qualify as potential threats. WatchOUT has flexible installation options using swivels to suit any terrain.
Rokonet’s WisDom security system is the smartest Wireless Stand Alone system available today. It is easy and fast to install, has unique installation tools and simple programming logic. WisDom's stability makes it the most reliable system on the market, which promises to provide years of trouble-free service. The WisDom has advanced diagnostic capabilities for the installer such as threshold calibration according to actual environmental RF noise.
Rokonet has yet again succeeded to develop more intelligent accessories for the ProSYS Integrated System. Devices released in recent months – the ProSound External Sounder, the Industrial LuNAR ceiling-mount detector, the WatchOUT Outdoor detector, together with the new TCP/IP communication module - ACM and the 3Amp power supply are all addressable on the ProSYS bus and have extremely advanced Remote Control & Diagnostic capabilities. These attributes, allow installers to control settings remotely using the System's Upload/Download software.
This year, along with these brand new additions to their product family, Rokonet is promising some lively entertainment and a few surprises at their booth. They will be situated at stand S50.
GardTec and Rokonet come together as Risco Group UK
"Our customers will have access to a larger range of security products and a higher quality of service"
Manchester, March 17, 2005; The Risco Group, owner of Gardtec and Rokonet Ltd, has recently announced a general restructuring of the Group's UK operations. This move will significantly increase its ability to offer excellent service to its customers and make available a wider range of Intruder Alarm products.
The most significant part of the plan is the formation of a new entity, Risco Group UK, which, from the beginning of its operations on April 1, will act as an umbrella for the activities of both Rokonet and Gardtec. Risco Group UK will serve both companies equally.
Rokonet Electronics, a worldwide leader in the field of integrated security systems, has been active in the UK market for many years. Since Risco's acquisition of Gardtec (formerly Gardiner Technologies) several years ago, the group has maintained separate sales strategies for the products of the two distinctive companies. While Rokonet's products are sold though a network of distributors, Gardtec's range of panels, detectors and sounders have been marketed directly to security installation companies.
Gardtec has a long and distinguished record in the UK as a quality manufacturer of Intruder Alarm systems and accessories, Rokonet is known in the region primarily as a supplier of excellent motion detectors. In many other parts of the world, however, Rokonet enjoys an outstanding reputation as a systems manufacturer. In fact, sales of Rokonet's integrated wired, wireless and hybrid panels exceed that of detectors in some of these regions.
Following Rokonet's outstanding success with its alarm systems around the world, the company chose to develop specialized panels that were adapted specifically to the UK market's requirements and industry standards. Subsequently, both flagship systems the integrated security platform, the ProSYS, and the WisDom, wireless standalone panel, were adapted.
To continue the penetration of these products into the UK market, the strategic decision was taken to form Risco Group UK, an entity that will combine the resources of the existing companies to offer the following advantages:Additional Regional Sales Managers (RSM) and Telesales representatives to meet the expected additional demand A new Product Training department to instruct installers on the group's products More technical support representatives Improved logistical setup to support the new product linesRob Evans, Sales Director at Risco Group UK, was quick to point out that; current customers and distribution channels of both companies will not be impacted by the change. In fact, he stated that; "our basic sales strategies for both companies will remain the same as a result of the amalgamation".
What will change, he says, is that "as a larger company with greater combined resources at our disposal, our customers will have access to a larger range of security products, more sales representatives and a higher quality of service. We feel that by making available a wider range of products with enhanced logistical support, our customers will be the first to benefit".
RISCO Group is a recognized provider of advanced solutions for the global security industry. Risco Group companies develop, manufacture and market cutting edge security solution products. The products are sold in over 60 countries worldwide through a network of distributors and partners and through its branch offices in the UK, Italy, USA, Latin America, Brazil and Israel.
