LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Opening even more
doors into the smart, connected home, Honeywell (NYSE: HON) is
keeping comfort, control, safety, and security top of mind at CES
2017. Created with DIY and pro installations in mind, Honeywell's
Lyric™ family of products and growing set of partners are ready to
help people get to know their homes better.
Lyric C1 and C2 Wi-Fi Indoor Cameras
The new Lyric C1 and C2 Wi-Fi Indoor Cameras are the latest
additions. DIY-ready, the Lyric cameras can help keep an eye on
what's happening day or night, whether someone is home or away. The
Lyric app provides access to livestreaming, recorded events,
screenshots, and will send alerts when something is seen (or even
heard and analyzed using the built-in microphone, such as a
smoke/CO detector going off, or a crying baby). The Lyric C1 Camera
captures HD, 30fps video with a 135-degree viewing angle, while the
Lyric C2 Camera records in Full HD at 30fps and has a 138-degree
viewing angle. A built-in speaker on both models makes two-way talk
possible, whether it's speaking to someone in the room or telling a
pet to get off the furniture.
Wired power means no batteries to check or change, and local
storage – an 8GB SD card comes with every Lyric C1 and C2 Camera –
ensures recording can happen even if the home Wi-Fi isn't working.
Free cloud storage per day is also included, with 7- and 30-day
upgrades available.
Able to smartly record seconds before an event happened (and
even ignore something like a ceiling fan, thanks to two detection
zones with the Lyric C1 Camera and four with the Lyric C2 Camera),
the cameras can be turned on or off manually, or through geofencing
via the location of someone's phone. Powerful, 256-bit end-to-end
encryption captures and sends footage securely, and both cameras
can integrate with professional, 24-7 security monitoring if
preferred*. The Lyric C1 and C2 Wi-Fi Indoor Cameras will be
available within the first three months of 2017.
Lyric Home Security and Control System With Apple®
HomeKit™
Launched in 2016, the Lyric Home Security and Control System is
now the first-ever pro-installed and pro-monitored security system
to include Apple HomeKit** compatibility for control using voice
with Siri, or the Apple Home app in iOS 10. The software upgrade –
which will be available to both current and future Lyric Security
consumers – expands Lyric Security's reach. Apple HomeKit
technology provides an easy, secure way to control your home's
lights, doors, thermostats and more from your iPhone, iPad or iPod
touch.
The Lyric Security controller, with its 7-inch touchscreen and
built-in camera, remains the hub for securely arming and disarming
the system. If a Lyric sensor – such as a door/window or motion
detector – detects an unusual situation, the controller will
provide visual and audible notification, and on your iPhone, iPad
or iPod touch. If you already have pro-monitored security service,
the central station can quickly contact first responders. Apple
HomeKit compatibility for the Lyric Home Security and Control
System will be widely available within the first three months of
2017.

* Professional monitoring subject to potential software
updates and monitoring fees, which can vary depending by local
provider.
** Apple HomeKit requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with
iOS 8.1 or later. Remote access for HomeKit-enabled products
requires an Apple TV (3rd generation or later) running Apple TV
software 7.0 or later, and an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS
8.1 or later.
