Need System Recommendation - Updated Needs

Jul 04, 2005 9 Replies

Hi,



About a month ago I requested some recommendations for a new system. The ELK M1 Gold, DMP and HAL OMNI were suggested. Most of these have more home automation features than I want/need. It is a very low priority. My priority list in order would be:


1) Ability to call my phone and speak problem. or
1) Ability to SMS my phone with text description of problem.


2) Internet connectivity - Web Setup.


3) Door Intercom/Video Integration would be nice.

I have a DSC Power 832, but its lack of item 1) is a big problem. Is there a way to add 1) and maybe 2) to it?



I have about 20 windows, 10 interior/exterior doors, 5 motions,



3 glass breaks and 3 moisture sensors. All are hardwired. I would like to add 2 entrance intercom/cameras and 3 inside intercom/displays.

Paul



DSC has discontinued the intercom components. js

2- kinda sounds like he (user) wants access via the internet , isn't t-link for cs use?

Problem as in trouble or alarm?

DSC does have an intercom (PC5936) and a video module (VVM110 which is a rebranded OZ Vision module) although the video part I'm not sure yet will do what you want, I'm still playing with mine

DSC does have T-Link for internet

I know, it was a pretty good intercom and I had several sold. Grrrr.. js

Thats kinda dumb, I thought it was a decent basic intercom

Make them bring it back!

Not sure, DSC did have software similar to DLS-2002 for the user but I don't know if it will work with T-Link

That must mean they will be coming out with another intercom with parts incompatible with the previous version forcing techs looking for replacement parts to look on Ebay

Wait thats 900mhz wireless...my bad

Yes, I am interested in access via the Internet, rather than via a rs-232 cable and DSC software.

DSC has a T-link, but it is not what I want.

Yes.

My reading is that it sends video over the phone line to your monitoring service. I want web access.
