CES UPDATE - VIPER SMARTSTART APP THAT CONTROLS CAR & HOME


Directed Electronics today announced a major new enhancement to the free Viper SmartStart app: integration with the Alarm.com security platform, allowing users to arm and disarm their home security system directly from the Viper SmartStart app.

Available early in Q1 2011 for the iPhone, the free Viper SmartStart app will include feature integration with the industry leading Alarm.com GSM-based residential security platform – allowing users to quickly arm and disarm their Alarm.com-powered home security system right from the Viper SmartStart app on their smartphone. Now securing and accessing your car and your home just got easier. A quick flip of the wrist toggles between the Car and Home control screens in the Viper SmartStart app, giving users quick access to their most important security controls in a single app.

Integration with the Alarm.com service will be the latest free upgrade to the Viper SmartStart app. Directed Electronics recently released Viper Motor Club roadside assistance, as well as SmartPark (a free upgrade that allows users to find their parked car with the push of a button on their smartphone). Directed is making another major announcement at CES about Viper SmartStart – a new product called Viper SmartStart GPS, also available in the first quarter of 2011.

"Viper SmartStart is rewriting the rulebook for what an app can do," said Mike Simmons, Executive Vice President of Directed Electronics. "In the months ahead we will be expanding Viper SmartStart control into the home. We see a near future where smartphones replace the heavy bundles of keys and keyfobs in a pocket or purse, and Viper SmartStart will enable that new paradigm. But to get there, the user experience has to be really great – as quick and easy as using a key. We've designed Viper SmartStart to enable quick, one-touch access to the really important things people use their keys for everyday."

To enable smartphone control of an Alarm.com-enabled home security system, please visit www.alarm.com to find an authorized dealer. Current Viper SmartStart users will be able to simply update their app to get the new feature. New users can download the free Viper SmartStart app at the iTunes App Store, BlackBerry App World, the Android Market, and at www.viper.com/smartstart.

During these days where you can't be assured of your safety outside, your only sanctuary would be your home. However, your home can also be the target of several bad elements. You and your home are one. If you want your home to protect you, you must also take care of it.
