Dtection's Patented Concept
Dtection's cost-effective, monitoring, alarming and shut-off solutions protect homes and commercial property from costly water damage caused by slow, silent leaks or sudden water emergencies. Dtection products are customizable to each property with a variety of options including a VALVE SHUT-OFF feature.
The Dtection System employs the latest technology but from the user's point of view, it is simple:
From the user's point of view
Wireless sensors are placed throughout a building near water sources such as toilets, sinks, and air conditioners. Upon a detection of a water leak, a local alarm is sounded and out-going phone alerts are placed to designated recipients. E-mails and text messages are sent (indicating the date, time and exact location of the water intrusion) and response time is tracked. Optionally, Dtection can automatically turn off the water coming into the premise from the main water line and send email and text messages indicating when the water was turned off and why.

By providing the right combination of equipment for each building's protection, Dtection provides cost-effective solutions for every property regardless of size or configuration.

Product in More Detail
The basic Dtection System consists of three components:
1. Front-End Surveillance
Dtection sensors are wireless and are simply placed in locations where there is a water source. Each installation is cost-effectively configured based on the number and location of the water sources in a building. Each sensor communicates wirelessly with a base station transmitter.
When a base station transmitter receives an alarm signal from one of its detectors, it automatically initiates pre-programmed water alert notification procedures which include out-going phone calls,
voice messages and texting to designated contacts. The contact cue is unlimited. Building engineers, security desk personnel, unit owners or residents, outside service providers can all be notified.
By combining the right number of sensors and base station transmitters, every at-risk location in each building can be protected cost effectively.
2. Back-End Computer System
Almost invisible to the client, Dtection's back-end computer systems (located off-site - at a Dtection computer center) extend water-leak protection to a new level.
The back-end computer systems run Dtection's patented control software which continually monitors on-site equipment and automatically takes action when an on-site water problem occurs.
- The system regularly monitors the real-time status of all on-site sensors and transmitters in all locations to insure that the equipment is functioning properly all the time. Additionally, each shut off valve is periodically recycled to make sure it is functional. Think about it: Why have water leak detection unless you know that the equipment is working for you 24/7?
- When the system receives a water alert from on-site equipment, it monitors the circumstances regarding the leak and records key information (leak location, time reported, time alert was acknowledged, time of actual response, responder comments, etc.). This history log provides an auditable record for insurance purposes.
3. Web-based Management Portal
Clients can access information about every building in their portfolio and all water incidents at any location through their password-protected web Management Portal. To view the real-time status of each detecting sensor in any and all building(s) and to evaluate the history and circumstances regarding any leak (time reported, location, time of response, etc.), the client accesses his password-protected internet Portal.
