Bosch Puts Conventional Fire Alarm Panels on the Internet

From Bosch Security Systems, an InterTECH Security Supply Partner:

Bosch C900V2 Dialer Capture Module

Landline telephones are no longer required – the new C900V2 Dialer Capture Module enables Internet communications for virtually any conventional alarm panel. Alarms can now be dispatched automatically over an installed high-speed Internet connection.

This new module maintains full alarm panel operability for Bosch and other manufacturers’ panels. You don’t even have to modify your panels – they operate exactly as they have in the past, with no new programming or codes to learn.

Bosch developed the C900V2 in response to two technology trends gaining popularity in the U.S.: many homes and businesses are switching from landlines to cell phones; and a rising number of homes and businesses have high-speed Internet or broadband connections. By eliminating the need for a landline, Bosch customers can select their telephone technology independent of the alarm system’s requirements, thus potentially lowering expenses.

The C900V2 uses Bosch’s innovative NetCom technology to accept analog signals from a conventional alarm panel: it digitizes the information (including user and zone numbers), then formats the data for fast Internet transmission. NetCom also maintains a constant “heartbeat” status signal with the central station, which is an improvement over the usual daily or weekly “handshake” signal used by most panels.
