IP BAT IP/CDMA Dual Path Alarm Transmitter Communicator

Dual path, when speaking about the IP BAT IP/CDMA Communicator, refers to the fact that this communicator can transmit signals via the cellular network or ove the internet. This unit is made for redundancy purposes. If one means of communication fails then the other one takes over. This way you'll have a never fail means of getting notifications. - Back To Top

You can receive notifications from the unit in the form of emails, text messages, and automated voice phone calls. When the device sends you these notifications it will tell you exactly which zone(s) on the alarm were activated. It will also have a time stamp as well. - Back To Top

The IP BAT IP/CDMA does not connect to a router via WIFI. You will have to run an ethernet cable from this unit to your router for connection. - Back To Top

The IP BAT IP/CDMA will start off sending signal through the internet portion if you have that connected. It will then send signals this way until there is a problem with the internet. If there is a break in internet connectivity then the unit begins transmitting signal over the cellular network. - Back To Top

IPD CAT CDMA Transmitter Communicator

The IPD CAT CDMA runs on the same type of network, CDMA, that a company like Verizon would use. This is good to use in areas where that network is prominent. - Back To Top

The IPD CAT CDMA is activated, like all the units from IPDatatel, by the MAC number and CRC number. These are found on the product box or on a sticker on the circuit board of the unit itself. You would give these numbers to a dealer, like us, to activate. - Back To Top

When the IPD CAT CDMA gets activated you will get login info for the account website. You will log in there and then there is a menu selection called 'Contacts'. You will navigate to that page and then setup an email address, texting telephone number, and a voice call telephone number. This is how the unit knows where to send messages. You will do this for each person that needs to get notified. - Back To Top

The IPD CAT CDMA wires into a DSC, Honeywell, or GE Interlogix by way of the keypad terminals. The unit essentially receives all the info a keypad would and this is how it gets the information for the notifications it sends you. - Back To Top

IPDatatel WIFI Broadband Alarm Transceiver

The IPDatatel WIFI Transceiver can connect to a router via WIFI connectivity. This makes it easier to use for those that can't run an ethernet cable between the panel and the router. But, you can also do a physical connection via ethernet cable if you so choose. This unit has both options. - Back To Top

This WIFI unit will stay powered up during a power outage because it draws power from the main panel and the main panel has a backup battery. This is good because it means the unit will not go down because lack of AC. On the other hand, it will not be able to send signal unless you have the router plugged into some sort of backup power supply. We recommend getting one of these if this is going to be your only form of communication for the alarm system. - Back To Top

The IPDatatel WIFI Transceiver, just like any of the IPDatatel communicators, can be used to send signal to a central station monitoring service. This usually means paying an additional fee for the monitoring. Your dealer can set up the communication for central station through their dealer admin panel. - Back To Top
