Alarm IP-converter
Many alarm transmitters and older security systems are still analogue. For quite some time, the use of modern digital DSL and IP networks has been the standard for alarm transmission. An Alarm IP converter converts the analogue signals into IP-compatible digital signals.
Our Alarm IP-Converter enables direct data communication between:
- your (existing) alarm panel, and
- your alarm receiving centre (ARC)
Choice of the right conversion equipment
ASB offers four IP-Conversion solutions (IPCs) that you can choose from, based on your preferences and security requirements from the authorities and insurance companies: IPC-Easy, IPC-Comfort, IPC-GPRS and IPC-XL.
- Home applications
For homes with a traditional PSTN or ISDN transmission connection, IPC-Easy en IPC-Comfort are available. For high-risk homes, IPC-GPRS can be used. - Small-business applications
For small-business applications, IPC-Easy, IPC-Comfort, and IPC-GPRS are available. IPC-Comfort and IPC-GPRS support uploading and downloading for existing alarm systems, which enables remote service. - Middle and high-risk applications (AL1/DP1/DP2, AL2/DP3 and AL3/DP4)
For situations that require high-level security and resilience for alarm transmissions, we offer IPC-GPRS and IPC-XL. In IPC-GPRS, the Alarm IP-Converter is equipped with a GPRS back-up. In high-grade solutions, the equipment contains a serial interface with drivers, that allow serial linking of alarm systems. If there is no recent driver, or if your alarm system does not have a serial interface, we can apply active PSTN line monitoring. This is the continuous monitoring of the connection between your alarm system and the Alarm IP converter.
Technical product overview of IP-Converters:
- Analogue Dial Capture interface for (X)SIA and Contact ID
- Serial interface and PSTN monitoring for AL2/DP3 alert transmissions
- Applicable to all IP networks
- 13 VDC, supplied by the alarm system
- Integrated GPRS back-up
- UDC for up-/downloading for alarm systems over IP
- Immediately operational with the default settings
- Automatic detection of (X)SIA, CID and Fast Format
- Configuration through a Web user interface
- EN50136-1, EN50136-1 and INCERT certified, REQ registered
- 4 models: IPC-Easy, IPC-Comfort, IPC-GPRS, and IPC-XL
Testing
With all Alarm IP converters, an elaborate test must be done by the control room(s) during installation. This is necessary to be able to check and guarantee the proper functioning of the required category of alarm transmission.
Wide range of use
The ASB Alarm IP-Converters adapt analogue signals for transmission through IP networks; they can be used with most security systems; and they automatically detect the available protocols (X)SIA and CID.
Autonomous power supply
Alarm IP converters are usually powered from the (existing) alarm panel. If the router in your risk category must be equipped by an emergency power unit, IPC-GPRS is the best solution. This IP converter has an autonomous power supply, which makes an emergency power unit superfluous.
Up-/downloading
For up-/downloading of different alarm systems we offer an Up-/Download Converter (UDC) solution.
SMS function
Our B-Notified SMS service allows for alarm notifications via SMS.
