What's all this noise about GSM reporting

Oct 22, 2007 7 Replies

Hi ,


I dont know if I am late to notice this. Can anyone tell me about this new GSM reporting service. So far googling could get me DSC's alarm communicator , Alarmnet , Telgaurd. One of my customer has a VOIP and wants to use GSM reporting as backup.



Before I go for any of these company can anyone please tell me best service provider and what GSM/radio should I go for.


Regards, Neo



Where ya been for the last 3 or so years?

Which system you choose will partially depend on what panel you're using, how much your client wants to spend, and do you have accounts with service provider already?

GSM? Is that like Contact ID?

Not in security industry.I Just started off

Would do like ademco vista 20p. No accounts yet with any service provider.

any thoughts please

Ademco GSM then...easy peasy. You have to get set up with Alarmnet...my CS did that intitial part for me.

Oh, the 20P has to be a certain revision, so if it's an older system you need to double check that first. Sorry, can't remember the threshold rev. off-hand.

So basically, you'll need a wholesale account with ADI to buy the Honeywell/Ademco GSM, you'll need an account with a CS and one with Alarmnet.

No any 20P or SE can use the GSM, it's control from the Internet that requires the 15/20P v5 and above

oh yeah..that was the issue now i remember. thanks.
