GeoArm's Dual Path (IP & GSM) Alarm System Monitoring Service.

Dual Path Alarm Monitoring | Dual Path Advantages | Compare Dual Path Options | Other GeoArm Alarm Monitoring Services
Dual path alarm monitoring services utilize two forms of alarm communication paths, the internet and the cellular network, to help guarantee successful alarm signal transmission. The way dual path alarm monitoring works is by first trying to send alarm signals over the internet, and in the event that first internet attempt is unsuccessful, the control panel is designed to automatically try sending the same alarm signal over the cellular backup network. Research has shown that roughly 15% of people have eliminated their plain old telephone service (POTS) line and rely solely on alternative communications such as cell phones, voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and internet phones. Historically alarm systems were only able to communicate using a POTS line, so many people still pay a monthly phone bill just for alarm monitoring of their security system. GeoArm is the security industry leader in alternative alarm communication methods, each of which allows our customers to save the $40/month that a POTS line typically costs. GeoArm offers internet (IP), cellular (GSM), and dual (IP backed by GSM) path alarm monitoring services.

The advantage of internet alarm monitoring is that it is a low cost communication method with no data overages. The advantage of cellular alarm monitoring is that it is highly secure with no chance of tampering or outages. IP/cellular dual path alarm monitoring advantage is that you receive the security of cellular alarm monitoring with a less expensive alarm monitoring plan as it uses internet communication as the primary path. If your internet were ever to go down, your internet backed by cellular alarm communicator automatically switches over to the secure cellular path ensuring all alarm signals will be sent to our central alarm monitoring station. Enjoy the lower monthly rate of internet alarm monitoring without sacrificing the reliability of your alarm signals communication path with GeoArm's unique IP/cellular dual path alarm monitoring service.

GeoArm’s IP/cellular dual path alarm monitoring service also has the added advantage of sending full event reporting making it even more valuable. GeoArm's dual path alarm monitoring service protects against burglar, fire (smoke & heat), carbon monoxide, flood, temperature, asset protection and medical (panic) alarm events. While your security system using a POTS line would only send and receive alarm signals, the dual path alarm monitoring service allows your security system to send even more information such as arm/disarm, low battery, trouble and supervisory signals.
