Alarm System Communications

Redundant Communication Paths
The Proxicast LAN-Cell 3G/4G cellular router provides two ways to transmit security system alarms back to your monitoring site:

1. Wired Ethernet - DSL, Cable Modem, etc.
2. Cellular Modem (3G, 4G, LTE or HSPA+)

Any of these interfaces can be designated as primary, with the others serving as redundant back-up communication paths in the event that higher priority paths are down. Fail-over to the back-up interfaces is automatic. This provides you with the most reliable means of ensuring timely notification of remote alarm events. Use the LAN-Cell when you need secure high availability communications for your critical installations.

Control Communications Costs
The LAN-Cell 3G/4G router can connect any of its WAN interfaces "on demand" when an alarm condition warrants to help keep communications costs low. Our unique Cell-Sentry feature enables you to use inexpensive cellular data plans to provide access while monitoring and controlling cellular costs.

Connect Any Alarm System
Ethernet-based alarm systems can be connected natively to the LAN-Cell 3G/4G router. Serial-based systems can be easily interfaced with an inexpensive serial-to-Ethernet converter. You can even "mix & match" Ethernet and serial components such as IP cameras and serial alarm consoles using the LAN-Cell's built-in 4 port 10/100 Ethernet switch.

Once connected, you can also remotely manage the alarm system using any WAN interface via static IP address, Dynamic DNS name, or dial-up phone number.
