Eliminate Phone Lines for Alarms

The need for costly, copper phone lines (~$600/line/year) is quickly going away.  New technology allows for internet or web based communication of alarm conditions from existing alarm systems and are rendering copper lines obsolete. Today, there is a simple, inexpensive technology available to migrate those systems from the old, costly way of communicating alarm conditions over telephone lines to the new and cheaper way of communicating to a central station monitoring center over your existing internet connection. Most major central stations are already geared up to receive alarm system notifications over IP.  Take advantage of this simple add-on and eliminate costly telephone line fees.

The Bosch Security Systems C900V2 Dialer Capture Ethernet Module works with most industry standard fire and intrusion alarm control panels using a standard digital dialer format and provides end-to-end security. The module links the digital dialer to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the digital dialer’s telephone interface, and an Ethernet network.

 

Bosch's Conettix IP is a complete award-winning system for transmission over IP-based networks. It overcomes the limitations of the digital PSTN dialer approach and enables supervised communication at virtually no cost while using only a narrow network bandwidth. This makes Bosch's Conettix IP the perfect solution for reducing your costs and ensuring more reliable communication at the same time. Thanks to features like end-to-end supervision and advanced encryption, it is also well-suited for high-security applications.

Key benefits of Bosch Conettix IP

     • Lower costs - No additional cost if an existing network is used
     • High security - Constant network supervision in programmable intervals, advanced Authentication and Encryption supported
     • High-speed data transmission - Enables high-speed reporting and data up/download
     • Convenience - No annoying interruptions of shared telephone lines
     • Low bandwidth consumption - Average message size for reporting is 64 bytes UDP/IP package.

Real savings experienced

Davidson College's IT department has calculated that the new equipment will result in an impressive return on investment. "By eliminating the expense of the phone lines, we are experiencing a 50 percent cost savings now and expect that number to increase to 75 percent in the near future," said Brent Babb, project manager, Davidson College. On top of the cost savings, the alarm communications from the college to the central station are now received faster than those previously transmitted via a phone line, which in turn improves the central station's response time.

With the Ethernet link, the Bosch C900V2 can:

     • Communicate with the control panel dialer
     • Decode and deliver signals to a Bosch Conettix D6600 Communications Receiver/Gateway
     • Relay a confirmation message back to the control panel dialer

Whether a control panel dials through a telephone line or through the C900V2, the data remains the same. The C900V2 empowers digital dialer control panels to work over an IP network such as a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), or the Internet. When the dialer has a message to report, the C900V2 simulates dial tone and line voltages, causing the dialer to behave as though it is connected to a monitoring center digital receiver through the PSTN. The C900V2 decodes and converts the transmitted dialer message to data for transport over any UDP/IP network.

The Conettix C900V2 Dialer Capture Ethernet Module is UL Listed under the following standards:
     • UL Central Station Burglary (1610), Encrypted Line Security
     • UL Commercial Fire Alarm Signaling (864), Primary
     • UL Police Station Burglar Alarm Units and Systems (365)
     • FCC Part 15 Radiated/Conducted Emissions
     • cUL S304-M88, Central and Monitoring Station Burglar Alarm Units
     • C1076, Proprietary Burglar Alarm Units and Systems

cUL installations approved for Level 3 Line Security when communicating over a packet-switched data network (PSDN). Install according to ULC-S302.

 

 

Is it time for an intrusion or fire alarm panel upgrade or replacement?

Bosch has a variety of solutions that are ideally suited to monitor residences, commercial properties, and government facilities of all sizes and complexities.

 

For residential and small commercial, Bosch proudly offers the B-Series intrusion alarm panel.  For larger systems, the Bosch G-Series intrusion alarm panel allows for hundreds of detection devices and also incorporates a basic access control capability.
