Intruder and alarm monitoring

Reliable signalling paths for intruder alarms and alarm receiving centres as analogue phone lines are switched off. A 4G router or dual-path communicator keeps the alarm reporting when the broadband or landline is gone.

Technologies used: 4G LTESIM, eSIM and IP addressing

Typical set-ups

Replacing an analogue line for an IP-capable panel

Many modern panels have an IP module. A small 4G router gives the panel its own connection, separate from the customer's broadband, so the signalling path does not depend on someone else's network.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT200 with a multi-network data SIM on a low data plan.

Dual path: broadband plus 4G

Keep the customer's broadband as the main path and add 4G as the second. The router fails over automatically and can alert you when it does.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT901 (dual SIM) or RUT951.

Things to check before you buy

  • Check the panel manufacturer's approved signalling options and grading requirements for the site.
  • Use a SIM that can roam across networks for unattended sites.
  • Put the router where it is protected and has power backup if the alarm design requires it.

From Teltonika

Teltonika publishes case studies showing its routers in real projects. See: Teltonika use cases for smart buildings and cities. Teltonika's documentation wiki covers set-up for every router we sell.

Questions

Will my alarm still work when the phone line is switched off?

Not if it relies on an analogue line. It needs an IP or cellular path. A 4G router or communicator replaces the line; check the panel's options with the manufacturer or your installer.

How much data does an alarm use?

Very little. Polling and event signals use a few megabytes a month, so the smallest data plan is usually enough.
