CSL have pioneered a single hardware platform which fits every grade of security risk, right the way from Grade 2, 3 and 4 Security installations to the highest specification of Fire signalling grades. The price of the product has been matched to the grade so that if you are installing for a Grade 2 specification you are not paying Grade 4 prices.
DualCom’s unique GradeShift® technology means that the hardware platform remains unchanged so that there is one common product across all security grades. The grade category is selectable through remote programming via the Alarm Receiving Centre or the Alarm Installer, meaning that all grades are quick and easy to install.
Simply order the G2, G3, G4 or the Fire version dependent on the grade you require. If for any reason your insurance specification increases or decreases there will be no need to install a new signalling unit – just contact your Alarm Receiving Centre or Soundandsafe.com and for a small charge the installation will be up or down graded. Meaning less engineer visits – saving you money.
This exciting combination of technologies is generating an enthusiastic response from our industry.
CSL designed DualCom GPRS/IP to satisfy the ever-growing demand for these technologies from the Retail sector in particular, where cost and performance are under constant scrutiny. If used, the IP path uses an TCP/IP connection to include compatibility with broadband / WAN / LAN. DualCom’s IP path can either replace the PSTN path or be used in addition, creating up to three diverse routes on alarm transmission.
In the event of an alarm, DualCom’s GPRS sends packets of data, via radio. The speed of transmission surpasses the older GSM technology, hence its suitability for sending alarm signals. Rather than having to ‘dial-up’ for a connection, GPRS systems are permanently switched on and transmit instantaneously. Another popular feature of GPRS is its low operating costs. A flat rate is charged per month to cover all calls made and monitoring.
