Email Notification System

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Client Request – Be notified of maintenance issues before a major disruption in household operations occurs.

Spire Innovation – The best maintenance is… preventive maintenance. With an E-mail Notification system system from Spire, the homeowner and other maintenance personnel are alerted to any irregularities or upcoming service issues that need to be addressed for efficient household operations.

With an e-mail notification system, one never has to worry about the generator battery dying. The system ensures that the homeowner is aware of the generator battery status so that in the event of a power failure, the system is ready to go.

E-mail notifications also ensure the homeowner is aware of sump pump failures, temperature spikes and humidity changes. An e-mail notification is even sent when your projector bulb is near replacement so that you never miss the big game. For extra safety measures, one can even request continual household operations updates from the system so that they can constantly monitor security, temperature and more.

As an added benefit, this e-mail notification system utilizes sensory monitors so that any detected issues will result in immediate notification to the homeowner, and if desired, service personnel. No matter where the homeowner is, this Spire system can issue alerts via Blackberry or any web enabled phone.

Client Request – An estate staff should be able to operate and monitor all estate operations with unsurpassed protection and service. In respect to the estate owner’s privacy, the staff can easily and efficiently handle any issue that is not related to an emergency situation.

Spire Innovation – With Spire’s Estate Security Assistance, the head of the estate staff and other maintenance persons are informed of all inside and outside operations. The staff can visually view and detect all household needs in every room of the estate, as well as the outside grounds.  This feature preserves the estate owner’s privacy.

For instant identification, sensors actually show up on a visual blue print of the area so that one can easily view the security system. If any type of moment is detected via the sensors, a camera is automatically initiated to serve as a visual notification of the detected presence.

Ultimately, the system easily provides expedient surveillance of such factors as security, (sump pumps, heat detectors), movement, temperature, lighting control and even sprinkler systems. Through sensory activated monitors, the estate staff is supplied with an easy to use and efficient maintenance and security system.
