Live IP Video Verification Solution for LightSYS 2

LightSYS 2 supports VUpoint – RISCO’s revolutionary, live video verification solution for
residential and commercial installations that seamlessly integrates an unlimited number of IP
cameras for providing an unprecedented level of security and live video monitoring
capabilities to alarm receiving centres and end-users alike.

• VUpoint offers seamless integration of LightSYS 2 with IP cameras

• A unique solution, offering live video verification of alarms for alarm receiving

centres, business & home owners

• Live video on-demand for business & home owners

Note: VUpoint may be added to any LightSYS 2 system connected to the
RISCO Cloud, and is not dependant on the firmware version installed.

VUpoint Indoor Cube IP Camera VUpoint Outdoor Bullet IP Camera

Powered by the RISCO Cloud, VUpoint enables live video streaming from IP cameras to be
viewed “on-demand” using the iRISCO Smartphone or Web application. VUpoint can be
configured so that any event—intrusion, safety or panic—can activate the IP camera.

For verification purposes, live viewing of video of events can greatly assist alarm receiving
centres in identifying costly false alarms, and enable a greater operational efficiency.
