HERZLIYA, Israel—Essence Security, a part of Essence Group, a technology group developing and supplying wireless, cloud-based security solutions for homes and businesses, has announced it is cooperating with the security services provider Securitas Direct Switzerland to launch Essence’s comprehensive MyShield cloud connected smoke-generating intruder prevention solution across Switzerland.  

This product launch follows 10 years of collaboration between Essence Security and Securitas Direct, during which time the security services provider introduced myriad Essence technologies to the Swiss market. The nationwide debut is the direct result of a successful pilot implementation that demonstrated MyShield’s superior connectivity, coverage, and smoke deployment capabilities, achieving perfect performance metrics in every tested scenario. MyShield’s proven advanced capabilities bring to the Swiss market a new level of efficacy in deterring intruders while ensuring safety and minimal disruption.  

“We at Securitas Direct Switzerland pride ourselves on our commitment to embracing new innovations, and after seeing firsthand the MyShield device’s cutting-edge capabilities in real-world settings, we are eager to bring this level of protection to our customers across Switzerland.” says Christian Chenaux from Securitas Direct Switzerland. “MyShield sets a new benchmark in Swiss security standards, offering home and business owners a smarter, more proactive way to protect their properties.” 

Essence Security, Securitas Direct Switzerland Alliance Provides Swiss More Safety Options

Essence Security boasts the first-of-its-kind MyShield device deploys a veil of harmless yet disorienting smoke that fills a room in 30 seconds, forcing intruders off premises before they can cause harm to people or property. According to Essence Security, MyShield acts as a “first responder” that narrows the window of time in which intruders can operate to provide higher levels of security to residential and commercial users, which Essence asserts can be particularly advantageous in high-risk environments with lone workers or unoccupied buildings where rapid response is crucial.

Essence Security also states the easy-to-install, MyShield’s battery-powered system includes an integrated motion detector, high-definition video camera to eliminate false alarms, voice announcement and rapid action remote smoke deployment. It utilizes cellular IoT networks and can be used as a standalone app-based solution or integrated into existing security systems. The low-maintenance device can be easily moved to ensure properties have 24/7 security on demand for reliable protection.
