ZR5 – AI-Powered Automation & Security Control Platform
ZR5 is a programmable, AI-powered automation platform with integrated security — designed to replace multiple systems with one intelligent control solution.
ZR5 brings together security, access control, automation, environmental monitoring and data logging into a single cloud-managed system. Using built-in AI, the platform is configured, managed and operated using plain-English instructions, removing the need for complex programming or rigid configuration menus.
Whether securing a site, controlling access, managing heating and lighting, or automating equipment, ZR5 adapts to the application without additional controllers, gateways or software platforms.
Inputs, Outputs & Interfaces
ZR5 provides a comprehensive set of wired and wireless interfaces, allowing it to integrate directly with both traditional security hardware and modern smart devices.
Wired Inputs
-
8 programmable digital inputs for contacts, sensors, alarms and general-purpose monitoring
-
2 dedicated keypad / reader inputs supporting keypads, ANPR cameras and QR readers
-
Serial communications: (optional)
-
RS232
-
RS422
-
RS485
-
-
1-Wire interface for digital sensors and device identification
Outputs
-
2 onboard relay outputs for controlling locks, gates, boilers, lighting circuits, plant or external equipment
Integrated Zigbee Wireless Controller
ZR5 includes a built-in Zigbee wireless controller, enabling seamless expansion without additional gateways.
-
Supports up to 48 Zigbee devices (nodes)
-
Native integration with:
-
Temperature and humidity sensors
-
Wireless mains sockets
-
Wireless switches and relays
-
Environmental and safety sensors
-
Other compatible Zigbee products
-
-
All Zigbee devices are managed, automated and logged through the same AI-driven control platform
Zigbee devices can be used as triggers, conditions or controlled outputs — fully integrated into ZR5’s automation and security logic rather than operating as a separate system.
Intelligent Control by Plain English
ZR5’s AI layer allows users and installers to define behaviour using plain-English instructions such as:
-
“If the temperature drops below 18°C, turn on the heating.”
-
“Unlock the door when a valid QR code is presented during office hours.”
-
“Turn off all sockets if the alarm is armed.”
The system translates intent into reliable automation logic, reducing installation time and eliminating configuration complexity.
Designed for Professional Deployment
-
Cloud-managed via the IoT Portal
-
Remote configuration, monitoring and updates
-
Event and data logging across wired and wireless inputs
-
Cellular connectivity (independent of local networks)
-
Scales from simple control tasks to complex multi-device automation
In summary
ZR5 is not a single-purpose controller — it is a unified AI control platform for physical systems.
Security, access, automation and monitoring are all built in, all connected, and all controlled in one place.

Monitored by the Portal
All IoT-Portal diallers are cloud-monitored. Every 4 minutes the portal checks in; if it can’t reach the dialler, the unit reboots automatically. If it remains offline for over an hour, email and optional SMS alerts are sent to administrators.
Firmware updates are applied automatically — keep it powered and we keep it running.
Out-of-Allowance PAYG Charges (credit never expires)
- Calls: £0.10 per call
