RE: Security alarm to GSM connection

["Scott Crowther" <scrowther@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John
=20
We monitor numerous panels, including the Inner Range Concept 3000/4000
pan=
els (http://www.innerrange.com/).
Inner Range have an optional GSM modem that takes a SIM card and uses it
to=
contact our monitoring platform, and may fit the bill.
I am not 100% sure though as to whether it has the required NSI/NACOSS
appr=
ovals you require, but I can ask further questions of our contacts at
Inner=
Range if you want more info.
These panels also have further networking capabilities.

Warning, the next bit is an [ADVERT]. Look away if you don;t want to hear
a=
bout it...
=20
Although you are looking for police response (may be an insurance
requireme=
nt?), our 'non police-calling' monitoring service works out at only around
=
=A310 a month through a professional installer and that includes
monitoring=
the GSM panel outlined above. This service sends alarm alerts to you and y=
our friends/neighbours by text, email and voice call.
=20
To add further security, we have an optional extra of linking your alarm
pa=
nel to Group 4 who will send a patrolman to your property.
This can cost as little as =A330 a year to register, although there is a
ca=
ll-out fee each time they attend.
Signing up to this lets you display Group 4 stickers in your wondows,
which=
is hopefully a further deterrent.
=20
The debate as to whether a police calling system is actually worth the
mone=
y is a lengthy one... I am sure there are members of this group who have
ha=
d mixed experiences... I know there are security installers here who don't
=
have police calling systems on their own houses, but I guess its a choice
o=
f the individual.

There is more info at www.intamac.com, or please feel free to contact me
if=
I can help.

I am currently talking to a number of local security companies about
installing an alarm system. Before any suggest getting Comfort system, I
want connections to a manned control centre with police response, therefor=
e
the system needs to be installed by a NACOS approved installer. I am
concerned that any competent thief (and we do have a problem with the loca=
l
travellers) will just cut the telephone wires. We are remote and it's very
obvious which is own line. I am therefore trying to get a system that can
work with a GSM phone. Does anyone know of a black box that will allow you
to use a mobile as though it was a normal telephone (ie via a BT socket).

You can get the BT Redcare system with a GSM option, however this costs
around =A350 per month, but does include the monitoring service.
