Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announces the launch of homesight(TM), a new home monitoring and control system for the UK market.

Motorola's homesight(TM) is a co-coordinated system of wired and wireless cameras, wireless door/window sensors and devices that work together to provide information on what's happening in your home. This simple to-use system intelligently monitors and controls your home environment by recording, storing and sending photos and video clips to you, wherever you are in the world via a compatible mobile phone or PC.

The homesight(TM) system consists of an easy start kit and various optional accessories. The starter kit is simple and easy to install and includes a system controller (the brains behind the system), a wireless camera that can be placed inside your home or in a sheltered outside area, a wireless sensor for doors and windows, and the homesight(TM) software. The software can be loaded onto any PC, enabling you to use and control the system.

Once up and running with the easy starter kit, you can add extra sensors or cameras anywhere in the home. The range of accessories includes power controllers to turn on lamps and appliances remotely(1), water and temperature sensors, motion detectors, sirens and cameras with built-in motion detectors.

"Motorola's homesight(TM) allows people to stay connected to things that matter to them; be it their home, family, or pets. It provides peace of mind, enabling them to stay aware of what's happening in and around their home, even when they're away. This extends Motorola's vision of Seamless Mobility which is all about linking you to people, information and entertainment, wherever you are, whenever you want," said Paul King, Motorola vice president of Motorola's Connected Home business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The homesight(TM) easy start kit will be available exclusively through PC World at a suggested retail price of GBP229.99 from 17 September 2005.
