HILLS and QSS are 2 of the 3 largest electronic security distributors in Australia (Central Security Distribution is number 2) and they face off in home automation, with each offering the market a quality hardware solution and a proven Alarm.com backend.
Security and home automation solutions are going to be the future of the alarm installations and alarm monitoring businesses and that makes the product selections of the biggest and most capable distribution businesses key aspects of many installation companies’ future successes.
QSS carries North America’s largest security and home automation brand, Linear’s excellent 2GIG Go!Control panel. The company is also offering the Bosch 2000 and 3000 panels, which if new releases at ISC West were anything to go buy, will soon be powerful and flexible home automation solutions in their own right.
In the Hills corner is Tyco Security Product’s DSC range, led by NEO. DSC has developed a strong following in the Australian market and this new NEO security and home automation solution incorporates the best of DSC’s panel expertise and Visonic’s wireless nous.
There are a number of other quality players in home automation in the local market – Honeywell, Ness and Risco spring to mind. But Hills and QSS, both of which use the excellent and proven Alarm.com backend, are the serious and competitive distributors that between them have it in their power to create a long-awaited home automation breakout in Australia.
