Wired alarm systems, even older models, are robust and in many cases more reliable than newer wireless systems. With the addition of an auto dialler, a wired alarm system can also send status messages to pre-set phone numbers.
With analogue land lines being imminently switched off, many auto diallers will no longer function, and the alarm systems which rely on them will cease to be monitored.
If you have previously had an auto dialler or not, the alarm2smart A2S-M1 is a simple solution to upgrade your wired alarm system to a Wi-Fi monitored smart alarm.
Other products on the market require subscriptions with monthly fees to monitor your alarm system.
The alarm2smart A2S-M1 uses a free app with no fees or subscriptions required to get loud alerts to your phone if your alarm is triggered.
There are other alarm conversion kits on the market and, if thinking of upgrading your wired alarm, you should explore all options. But be aware that some other systems are very complicated to install.
Other conversion kits replace your existing alarm control panel with what is little more than a hobbyists electronics development board, such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
This means the functionality of your alarm system becomes reliant on the new electronics board and your existing control panel, which is a dedicated PCB designed to trigger if an intrusion or tampering is detected, will become redundant.
The alarm2smart A2S-M1 is simple to install, and no changes are required to your alarm system. The device simply connects to your alarm control panel and monitors its status. You will get loud real time alerts to your phone if your alarm is triggered.
