Linksys VoIP Adapter

A Linksys VoIP adapter is the best choice of communication device if your alarm panel has a built-in digital communicator (modem) that supports Fast Format or Contact ID alarm protocols. This will enable your panel to send detailed information for all events.

The humble VoIP ATA provides us with an excellent means of transmitting alarm signals over a "standard" Internet connection.Companies like Cisco/Linksys have poured vast resources into developing VoIP ATA's and over time they have become very robust.

The most important thing to understand about our Linksys Alarm Monitoring Solution is that it does not use a VoIP provider. In fact, in the majority of cases it does not even make an audio call and instead uses "raw" IP packets to travel quickly over the Internet without any of the well documented problems associated with voice calls. For applications like medical monitoring where it is necessary to make an audio call, the solution still does not use a VoIP provider network. Instead, a private network connection is made directly between the client device and the IP receiving device at the monitoring center. This allows us to maintain full control over network settings and minimise the risk of a 3rd party server failing to respond and breaking the communication path.

Perhaps the most attractive part in these times of economic uncertainty, is the ability for you to source your Linksys adapters locally. This can save a lot on delivery costs and is particularly beneficial if the adapter were ever to fail and needed to be returned. They are a fraction of the cost of devices with similar features from more well known security industry manufacturers.

How it works

It connects via a phone cable to your alarm panel modem and captures and decodes the tones. It connects via a LAN cable to your Router and transmits alarm signals to our server over the Internet.

Provisioning of the device is required to download custom settings. After that, simply plug it in and start sending signals.
