Two technology trends are gaining momentum:

1. Many households and small businesses are eliminating landline telephones and switching to cellular telephones exclusively.

2. A rising number of households and small businesses use high speed Internet or broadband connections for correspondence,  shopping, schoolwork and business data transmission.

In assessing these trends, Bosch responded by enabling full alarm panel operability without a telephone line.

Innovation rules

Bosch Security System’s C900V2 updates a conventional alarm control panel to use high speed Internet protocol (IP) rather than a telephone connection for central station alarm notfication. This means that an alarm event will not tie up the telephone line because the alarm is transmitted using an existing high speed Internet connection. Phones remain in operation so important voice calls can get through.

The C900V2 Dialer Capture Module lets your alarm panel operate over the Internet independent of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). All the data needed to send an alarm event is easily transmitted by Internet connection, including user numbers and zone numbers, so your central station remains fully informed and able to respond to any emergency.

Nothing to learn

Best of all, the existing alarm panel does not need to be modified to use the C900V2 Dialer Capture Module. This means that the panel operates exactly as it always has – there is no new routine or programming to learn. It is the same panel but, thanks to the C900V2, it just connects using the Internet rather than a telephone when sending status signals or alarm notification.

Conettix IP technology inside

Bosch paired the C900V2 Dialer Capture Module with its innovative Conettix IP technology to improve the usefulness, reliability and protectiveness of conventional alarm control panels. Conettix IP is integration software that accepts analog signals from the panel, digitizes the information and then formats the data for fast Internet transmission, bringing the benefits of proactive digital networking to a traditionally passive device. Conettix IP also sends a constant “heartbeat” status signal that maintains a steady, positive system acknowledgment with the central station. Conettix IP’s speed, constancy and accuracy complements the C900V2 and heightens the protective shield created for families or businesses by making alarm monitoring proactive rather than reactive.
