End of Life for Exprecium d and Decrypta 4

After 28 years of making PSTN alarm receivers, MCDI is announcing the End of Life for the last strictly PSTN Decrypta 4 and Exprecium d. The decline of the market for PSTN receiver is one reason to stop this production. The other is the absence of signal integrity we experience worldwide. Nowadays, telephone companies are converting signals to IP to carry them. And de-converting them back at the receiving site. This often result in signal degradation. The lack of signal integrity makes it increasingly difficult for the receivers to perform their tasks.

MCDI will continue to produce DT42m, a hybrid receiver joining the ip capacities of DT42ip to a one-line PSTN circuit for contact ID and PSTN.

MCDI-AJAX Cooperation

MCDI developed an Ajax plugin for two-way integration for the SECURITHOR Alarm Response Software.




MCDI, combined Ajax Translator and Enterprise API to deliver a dedicated plugin that manages security and monitors Ajax systems‘ alarms, including visual verification of alarms, security mode switching and relay control. The Ajax plugin has permanent licenses and is free-of-charge for alarm receiving centres that use the SECURITHOR Alarm Response Software, version 2.31 and higher.

Beyond alarm monitoring

SECURITHOR presents a complete dashboard to operators handling alarm signals along with steps and contacts to process each event. The app automates several tasks like sending emails, SMS and reports to subscribers. With such features, SECURITHOR gained popularity among CMS/ARCs in APAC, Italy, North America, LATAM, and Ukraine. 

An Ajax plugin 

To make it easy for everyone to use Ukrainian products, MCDI made an effort to establish an even more convenient tool for Ajax integration with their software.

Securithor and DT42 IP alarm receivers were already able to get alarm signals from Ajax security systems. And with a free AJAX plugin, the SECURITHOR operators can now view images transmitted by MotionCam detectors by simply clicking a button associated with the alarm event. Plus all operators of the SECURITHOR 2.31 Network Edition can control Ajax hubs remotely. Arming, Disarming, Night Mode and even relay activation are available directly in Securithor Alarm Processing tickets.

Contact MCDI to add this plugin to your SECURITHOR license or to know how you can get it with your SECURITHOR update.

It’s time to say goodbye to an old friend

It’s time to say goodbye to an old friend, Securithor v1.
We launched V1 over 10 years ago.
While v1 had thousands of users at the height of v1, most of them elected to upgrade to Securithor v2 during the last 5 years.
Microsoft is also announcing the discontinuation of support for windows 7, the original OS or v1.
This tells us it’s time to move on.
We will not provide technical support to the operation or re-installation for Securithor v1 after October 15th 2019.
2019/10/15  will be considered as the End Of Life for Securithor v1.

We will retain the ability to provide licenses should the need arise.

You can contact our sales staff at securithor@mcdi.com to look into upgrades to Securithor v2.
MCDI can migrate the database of a Securithor v1 to a Securithor v2 as part of the purchase of v2.
For more information contact securithor@mcdi.com or skype: mcdi-hq ph: +514-481-1067
