Landlines are going away and it seems like everyone wants to monitor their security system over the Internet.
IP Alarms are the market leaders for providing solutions to upgrade existing legacy security equipment to communicate over the Internet. Our cost effective "off the shelf" hardware combined with our cutting edge software applications and web platform make us popular with end users because we save them money and popular with Alarm Dealers because we solve their problems.
The demise of the PSTN network (telephone landlines) and subsequent onslaught of Voice over IP has prompted many in the security industry to look for alternative methods of communication between alarm panels and Central Stations. The Internet is currently the most popular communication path and this trend looks like it is set to continue for the foreseeable future.
New panels are starting to appear on the market with Internet communications either built onto the main board or available via a plug-on module. These products are fine for new installations, however, there are many millions of existing control panels out in the field that require an add-on module in order to enable transmission via IP. This is the area in which IP Alarms specialise and we have produced several modules that work in slightly different ways, but achieve the same goal of IP enabling legacy alarm panels.
The tendancy for popular panel manufacturers has been for them to produce IP modules that will only work when connected to their own brand of IP alarm receiver. IP Alarms are one of very few solutions providers that offer a truly universal system that allows any make and model of alarm panel to communicate over the Internet with any make and model of alarm receiver.
This flexibility has made our company the market leader in the area of Internet communications and our presence in so many regions of the world is solid proof of that.
