  •  Will still be active in the case of a power outage thanks to relying on a mobile network. This is especially useful in certain residences where the internet is unreliable.
  • In situations where an internet connection is not available such as in sheds or garages the GSM module provides an effective way to keep the alarm reporting.
We recommend the GSM module if the network on site is too unreliable or non-existent. As the initial setup is a bit more in depth and if being self installed, not as straightforward for a customer to program.

The GSM Module Kits are available in Multiple Keypad style.
