Resideo, a leading global manufacturer and designer of products, services and technologies dedicated to security, comfort and energy, has announced that its First Alert™ brand – focused on delivering a better understanding of what is happening in the home – will start to appear on its ProSeries™ platform during 2025.
First Alert was acquired by Resideo in 2022 and is a well-known and trusted brand in North America. With a strong track record of high-quality products, select connectivity options, and over 60 years of experience developing advanced safety innovations, First Alert products are helping deliver technology-driven installations tailored to the needs of the customers of professional installers.
“Resideo has been providing fire safety and security products to help UK installers and consumers protect what matters most for over 25 years.” said Maxime Chila, European Security Commercial Director at Resideo. “The spirit of the First Alert brand – well established across the US – is to provide meaningful insights and clearer awareness into what is happening in homes. Therefore, it feels like a natural next step to make the UK our next destination in introducing First Alert to Europe.”
Resideo’s ambition for the UK is to build on the heritage of the well-known Videofied ™ legacy security portfolio with the First Alert brand developing into the new “trusted source” for security solutions.
Latest First Alert ProSeries platform developments
The First Alert ProSeries platform, designed for both residential and light commercial use, offers scalability and adaptability with one platform, two hubs, two monitoring options, and over 40 peripheral options. The latest ProSeries developments include:
- Compatibility with Videofied systems: Installers can use the PROBOX-EU control panel and/or the PROAIOPLUS-EU touchscreen control panel to upgrade an existing Videofied security system. This helps save time and retain customers as part of the transition away from 2G, which is being switched off in the UK over the coming years.
- Easy for homeowners to use and installers to program: The most recent ProSeries control panel introduction is the PROAIOPLUS-EU, which offers a small but powerful central control hub with an intuitive 7-inch touchscreen for end users. It is designed to be programmed locally and is easy to use; the panel is also ideal for those who want to self-monitor.
Laurent Legris, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Security at Resideo concludes: “The combination of our First Alert brand with our ProSeries platform marks the beginning of the next chapter in our UK security business. We are connecting our past to the future with a security solution that continues to evolve to meet the growing and changing needs of today’s customers.”
