Cellular is here to stay

Digital cellular communications are used as a backup to other technologies or as the primary communications path. As always, network communication is free on all DMP products.

Primary Alarm Communication

A digital cellular data connection can be used as the sole communications method because the communicator can be programmed to check in with the monitoring center at frequent intervals — this ensures that the monitoring center will know almost immediately if communications are interrupted.

Direct Alarm Communication | Faster, more reliable transmission

The method of data transmission to the monitoring center receiver distinguishes SecureCom Wireless from other cellular alarm communicators on the market; others do not communicate directly with the receiver. Rather, they send alarm data to a clearinghouse where it is then interpreted and retransmitted to a monitoring center receiver over the Internet. SecureCom Wireless ensures the communicator establishes a direct connection with the monitoring center's receiver, which makes communication faster and more reliable.

DMP and SecureCom

DMP^© cellular alarm communicators are designed to work with the cellular service from SecureCom Wireless. This gives dealers the advantage of getting systems up and running quickly by enabling account activation through Cloud-based software from SecureCom called Virtual Link^™. This software allows dealers to administer customer panels and login rights. It also offers rich system analytics to troubleshoot alarm communication remotely.

DMP Adaptive Technology^™, along with the availability of up to eight communication paths, provides a multi-level communication backup that ensures a constant connection between the panel and the monitoring center. If the network path is lost, the panel automatically switches to cellular and fulfills its check-in requirements. As soon as the network returns, it switches back. This auto-healing solution saves considerable expense for UL-listed applications.
