Like most brilliant ideas, the concept behind Minda is very simple, although the elctronics involved are complex. Just press a button on the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver. On the receiver, an LED indicator lights up when signal is received. Depending on local conditions, transmissions can be received up to 300 feet away.

The receiver can monitor up to four transmitters, each of which can send two different status signals.

The key fob transmitter has an LED confidence light to confirm transmission. Low battery condition is automatically signalled to the receiver.

The receiver is very small, so it can easily be carried in a pocket or worn on a belt. It is controlled by a low power micro-processor and features a user-select audible tone or silent vibration to notify that a transmission has been received. The four pairs of LED indicators can then be checked to identify the signal. An audible alert can be given if the receiver is jammed by interference.

A desktop/vehicle receiver is available for transmissions up to 600 feet, or up to 1200 feet with an optional base station antenna. This unit can be 110 VAC operated and can also be used to activate remote equipment.

With this high level of versatility and effectiveness in such a discreet package, it's not surprising that Minda devices are standard equipment for several high level security operations. What you will find surprising, however, is the low price of the system - less than the cost of a quality home video camera!

Other applications for Minda devices include: surveillance by Customs officials, or store and hotel security staff, workplace violence protection, employee safety, for personal security by VIPs and healthcare proffesionals; and even for initiating a diversion during business negotiations.
