RSI Video Technologies est une entreprise française créée en 2000 à Strasbourg. Elle développe, fabrique et commercialise des systèmes d’alarmes sans fil à levée de doute vidéo pour résoudre les problèmes de sécurité pour des applications commerciales, résidentielles et extérieures. La commercialisation des produits se fait sous la marque Videofied. Videofied = video verified (levée de doute vidéo).
L’entreprise française possède un savoir-faire unique : elle est la seule à intégrer une caméra et des LED dans un détecteur infrarouge sans fil tout en fonctionnant sur piles, permettant une levée de doute 100% sans fil. . En cas de détection d'intrusion, les détecteurs/caméras MotionViewers enregistrent une vidéo de 10 secondes, immédiatement transmise au centre de télésurveillance. L'opérateur analyse la vidéo et, en cas d'intrusion avérée, adapte les moyens à mettre en œuvre et coordonne l'intervention avec les forces de l'ordre. En France, en cas de signal d'alarme reçue par un centre de télésurveillance, il est désormais obligatoire, sous peine d'une amende de 450 €, de détenir une preuve visuelle de l'effraction avant d'alerter les forces de l'ordre.
Proposés en France par les plus grands fournisseurs de systèmes de sécurité comme les banques ou les assurances, et par les sociétés de télésurveillance, les produits de RSI Video Technologies ont fait leurs preuves depuis plusieurs années avec des milliers de systèmes installés.
Les produits sont conformes aux certifications suivantes : SO TS 16949, OHSAS 18001, ISO 9001:2000, et également la norme française NFA2P, et les normes internationales de sécurité : CE agreement (Europe), EN50131-Grade2(Europe), Asie : IDA (Singapore), A-Tick (Australie), USA : UL and FCC.
