Ontech Security takes CES 2016 wardiam intrusion system and begins its American expansion

In this contest the Andalusian firm not only shows its innovative security system, able to detect an intruder before approaching the controlled access point and having the alarm active uninterruptedly with users inside the house, but marks the beginning of its expansion in the North American market with the opening of a commercial office.

Ontech Security, Seville-based company specializing in the development of products based on advanced sensor technology, is the only Spaniard to participate in CES 2016, that even the 9 January is held in Las Vegas 2016, to show a "revolutionary and unique technology in the world, whose application to the field of domestic security is totally disruptive, because it offers non-existent features today in any security system of its kind", as they claim.

This technology, which Ontech has patented worldwide and has the name of Controlled Magnetic Fields or CMF (control magnetics fields), is based on modeling and controlling low-power magnetic and electromagnetic fields to provide prevention, discrimination between people, animals and objects, in addition to remaining operational on a permanent basis, even when users stay inside the house.

From it this technology, Ontech Security has developed a security system, named Wardiam, who also presents these days at CES 2016, able to detect in real time whether a person gets too close to a door or window without having to have external checkpoints.

Wardiam can stay on uninterrupted 24×7, so the protection is permanent and the user doesn't have to disconnect it when they get home. For Juan Aponte, CMF technology creator and CEO and founder of Ontech Security, "it makes no sense that when we get home, which is when we need more protection, let's disconnect the security system in whole or in part".

Another differential feature of this system is its ability to discriminate between people, animals or objects, almost completely eliminating false alarms, which currently involve the 95% of the warnings that security companies receive, in addition to detecting the use of inhibitors, both in communications between devices and on mobiles.

"With this controlled magnetic field technology we have developed there will be a before and after in the security systems, because so far non-existent functionalities are achieved and the market is demanding", underlineS Aponte.

Wardiam comes in two versions. WardiamDIY (do it yourself), a self-installing security system, with wireless communications consisting of a sensor of controlled magnetic fields, central control unit, Camera, Siren, access control device and a web/mobile application for user management.

The Wardiam PRO version is a security system designed to be installed by professionals, with a connecting module to an alarm receiving plant, in addition to wireless or wired communications. Includes a sensor of controlled magnetic fields, central control unit, Camera, siren and access control device.

American expansion

The Andalusian company is also taking advantage of its participation in this Las Vegas contest to start the first phase of its international expansion plan, which is specifically aimed at the North American market. Ontech Security will open a U.S. commercial office during the first quarter of 2016 to directly promote and manage trade agreements with security system integrators and large distribution companies, both in this country and in Canada.

As Juan Aponte explains, "The North American market is the most demanding and competitive in the world and we want to be there because we have a unique technology and products, as we've seen at the ISC East security fair in New York, in which we participated in November 2015".

This company emerged three years ago when this Andalusian engineer won the Yuzz de Banesto award with an entrepreneurship project to control the magnetic fields, which also presented at IESE in Madrid to a group of companies that decided to finance and contribute their expertise to the same. In this short period of activity, Ontech Security has had an investment of more than three and a half million euros, from the Junta de Andalucía, as well as Banco Sabadell and La Caixa, and generated twenty-six jobs, mostly engineers engaged in R&D tasks.
