Originally they were separate markets, we only really sell Salto so it was easy to embrace, however, the line between Salto and KS has blurred. Both have different unique selling points.


Currently, SALTO KS is the only cloud product we sell. The beauty of cloud is that it removes any IT investment and responsibilities from the customer, so KS is a game changer.

I'm not sure that there were many challenges, however, the limiting factors were the number of app users per IQ as it narrowed the market, this has now been dealt with. The fact that we can't check in/out guests is still a problem and precludes us from most of the hotel market. There is now a Keypad which was originally missing, so all in all other than the check-in/out most things have luckily been resolved.

Moving more to a cloud-based system. Maybe the use of smartphones as carriers, however, there is still the problem of flat batteries which a lot of end users fail to realize, I like the KS keypad for that reason. More integration certainly on the hotel side with booking websites. More differentiation between manufacturers with regard to the security of how the data is stored.


None really that I can think of. Cloud has been around for a pretty long time so most people get the concept.

Guardian Security South West continues to do what they do best: Helping their customers feel more secure in their homes and/or business.
