Alarm Monitoring over GPRS
GPRS Alarm Monitoring solutions operate using 2G technology on GSM networks and as some say the technology is due to be unplugged in 4-6 years, it may, or may not not represent a good return on your investment in security monitoring equipment. Either way, we feel it is something that should be made clear up front so that you are able to make an educated decision. Some feel that 4-6 years is a reasonable lifetime for a wireless technology and as a result we continue to sell our GPRS Alarm Monitoring solutions in Australia.
What are the Advantages of our GPRS Solution ?
Our solution is fair and simple. We do not tie you to any particular GPRS network provider or plan and you are free to use the SIM card of your choice. We have no special deals with any of the GPRS network providers and as it is your security at stake, we feel it's best to leave the choice of provider in your hands.
One thing you will notice with every other GPRS Alarm Monitoring solution in Australia is the shorter your polling interval - the more it costs !
We do not work that way. Whether you choose 60 second polling, 24 hour polling or no polling at all -
you'll be pleased to know we do not charge for supervision. That policy applies to both our IP & GPRS Alarm Monitoring
Solutions. The amount of data you use costs us nothing in the way of data or bandwidth, so in order to keep things as
simple as possible for all concerned, polling and supervision is just an inclusive part of our service.
Once commissioned, your GPRS device maintains a permanent wireless connection to the Internet. If supervision (polling) is enabled, you will be alerted should the connection be lost for any reason. When an alarm event occurs, a signal is quickly sent to our Virtual Monitoring Platform.
