IP Alarm Monitoring
Internet Protocol (IP) Alarm Monitoring is the leading technology, turning a traditional alarm reporting system into a fully integrated monitoring solution.
IP Monitoring gives true peace of mind. Utilising multiple technologies to communicate alarm information to the monitoring centre, the system will automatically revert to a second path should the primary communication path become unavailable.
Constant polling to the alarm monitoring centre ensures that the system remains operational.
Benefits
- Reduction in Alarm Monitoring Costs (see Cost Comparison over page)
- Full redundancy through multiple communication paths
- Constant polling to Monitoring Centre
Technology Overview
- Fast polling on multiple redundant IP paths (up to 20 second polling on both Ethernet and GPRS)
- Upload alarm connectivity can be via network.
- Existing Client network can be used. (WAN or LAN)
- Full point to point bi-directional polling
- Secure data transmission with 128 bit AES encryption
- Meets AS2201.5 Multiple Class requirements (Assigned by client insurer.)
Communication paths
The IP Communications Interface operates via two main polled IP paths, Ethernet and GPRS (wireless).
