Some of the connection types include:

Dialler Monitoring (including GSM back up options)

The dialler type of communication works on a standard phone line, or public switched telephone network (PSTN). When an alarm is activated, the system creates and sends a signal to the control room. The centre receives the signal and operators set procedures in to action based on the signal type. This costs around the same as a phone call as is most commonly used as it is more cost-effective.

The GSM back up option is a cost effective way for a dialler alarm to send a signal to the monitoring station in the event that the primary telephone line is not operating.  For the GSM backup unit to work effectively, it must be in an area that has good mobile coverage and requires a SIM Card to operate.

GPRS Monitoring

Permaconn GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) monitoring is a data network that enable on always ON connections.  GPRS is a brilliant technology designed to deliver high-speed data over the existing GSM infrastructure.  The data link between the Outstation and the Central station is active at all times, allowing the devices to exchange messages at any time. There are no phone call charges or call establishing delays as with the better known GSM services.

What we can monitor?

Burglary/Intrusion:
This allows for monitoring of your home as well as perimeter sensors to monitor if anyone gains access to your property. These can be used independently allowing you to move around your home secure in the knowledge that your alarm will be activated if someone crosses the perimeter. This allows for more notice and quicker reactions to the situation. Intruder alarms on the home can be activated on entrances as well as motion detectors in spaces in the home.

Fire and Medical Alarms:
Hard-wired smoke detectors in your home will trigger a signal to the security monitoring centre in the case of smoke or heat detection. Normal smoke detectors will only alert you if you are home. The hard-wired detectors will allow you to be notified wherever you are, allowing for quicker emergency response.

Personal Emergency Responses & Duress Alarms:
Panic buttons allow for a quick response in an emergency or distress situation. This is especially helpful for people alone at home or who may need instant medical assistance. It can be used for a variety of purposes to get you the necessary assistance you may require.
