Nowadays the methods used to commit thefts and intrusions are becoming more sophisticated and those who practice it are specialized in bypass the current systems. As it is essential to be ahead of them, we created Griffon, a Fire and Intrusion Alarm System which is the most advanced, flexible, expandable and connected in the world. The Griffon also opens a new era of fully connected and intelligent alarm panels, prepared for the “Internet of Things” revolution. Being much more than a simple fire and intrusion alarm system, the Griffon is suitable for applications such as building and home automation, access control and beyond.

The Griffon™ Control Panel is the world’s most advanced fire and intrusion alarm panel.

With unique features such as countless onboard communication options (telephone line, GSM/GPRS with option to 3G migration, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and SMS), ultra-reliable communication bus (based on the CAN technology) found in automobiles, aircrafts and military systems, highly advanced and flexible task scheduler, microphone input and 20W speaker output, and almost unlimited possibility of expansion of the system through several multifunctional modules. It also offers the convenience of Griffon Mobile App (for Android and iOS) and IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System), which allows users to interact with Griffon from a mobile.
