HAI, the leading manufacturer of integrated
security and home automation systems since 1985, won several top industry awards
at the International Consumer Electronics show which was held January 8 - 11,
2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
HAI's new OmniPro II took home the CES
Innovations Award in the Integrated Home Systems category and garnered the Popular
Mechanics Editor's Choice Award. Out of nearly 2,000 exhibitors and 1.2
million square feet of exhibit space at CES, the Editors of Popular Mechanics
combed the show floor to choose only 17 products at the show that they deemed
"the best of the best—real breakthroughs" according to the magazine.
The award-winning OmniPro II is a sixth
generation controller. It includes UL-Listed security, HVAC and lighting control
for energy management, and the ease of telephone and Internet access and
control. It also features three built-in serial ports for connection to
additional home devices like touchscreens, and infra-red controls for home
theater, lighting controls and computers. Additionally, the OmniPro II has a
built-in Ethernet port making control and monitoring features of the system
available to any device on the home data network with a standard web browser.
The Editors of Electronic House magazine
also announced HAI's Web-Link II software as one of the Top 50 products of
2001 during an awards presentation held during the show. HAI's Web-Link II
which debuted at CES in 2001 allows Internet access and control of a home
automation system with wireless access, video surveillance, and the ability to
receive emails based on programmed events, such as, the alarm has been activated
or the kids have arrived home from school. HAI's Web-Link II had previously
been awarded the Home Automation Achievement Award by the Security Industry
Association, the ADEX Gold Award for Design Excellence, and was named as a Home
Automation & Networking Association Mark of Excellence Finalist.
