    LAWRENCE, Kan., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Protection One, Inc.
 (Nasdaq:   PONE) took the next step in the evolution of home security today
 by introducing e-Secure, the company's new Web-based and text message-based
 home security service. e-Secure customers have convenient access to their
 own home security systems, even when they're away. The service allows
 subscribers to monitor and control their security systems using any
 Internet-connected computer, PDA or text-enabled cell phone and delivers
 real-time notifications of important events via e-mails or text messages.
     Protection One's e-Secure is able to notify a customer of alarm events,
 such as break-ins or the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide.
 Additionally, e-secure provides notifications for non-alarm events such as
 the opening of medicine cabinet doors, pool gates, gun cabinets, or if
 other dangerous areas are accessed. e-Secure can also notify Protection One
 customers when environmental accidents happen, like water leaks and
 temperature extremes, which may damage valuables or hurt pets.
     "We're excited to offer our current and future customers this security
 system enhancement," said Richard Ginsburg, Protection One's president and
 CEO. "Every Protection One customer will still receive our advanced,
 central-station monitoring, but e-Secure customers will also receive
 enhanced control and monitoring of their security systems. By taking a more
 active role in their security, e-Secure subscribers have the power to react
 quickly to events that may not require an emergency dispatch of
 authorities."
     The e-Secure online user site allows Protection One customers to check
 on their alarm system status, arm or disarm their systems, manage users and
 codes, and set up notification details, among other functions. Users of
 e-Secure can then receive e-mail and text-message alerts when user-defined
 activity is detected.
     "We've worked closely with Honeywell to develop an advanced, 128-bit
 encrypted site that allows our customers to securely and directly
 communicate with their alarm panels," said Ginsburg. "We've also made the
 user interface customer friendly and intuitive, so that anyone who can use
 the Web will be able to fully utilize e-Secure."
     "e-Secure is particularly helpful for our customers who have children
 at home, elderly parents in their care, a busy lifestyle, and/or important
 assets to protect," Ginsburg added. "Our philosophy has been squarely
 focused on serving our customers with products that meet their growing and
 changing needs, and e-Secure is a result of that focus. We constantly
 strive to keep pace with our customers' active lifestyles and, with
 e-Secure, we've found a way to truly serve them better."
