Why The Wrong Sim in your Security Alarm System Could be a Sin

Not all SIM Cards are created equally.  In this Blog post Home Security Online discusses why the major security alarm systems on the market including Ness Security, Bosch and Hikvision

GSM is the technology base on which 3G, 4G and 5G are built. Many security alarm systems such as the Ness D8Xcel  and D16Xcel alarm system come with an inbuilt GSM dialler so you can self monitor your alarm usually via an app on your phone or have it monitored through a security monitoring station.  A security alarm system with an inbuilt sim is cost-effective, technologically advanced, and offers real-time updates from anywhere in the world *

Not many SIM cards are compatible with technologically advanced alarm systems. While some offer basic features, others don’t work because of network limitations.

So what SIM cards are best for security alarm systems you ask?…

• Firstly SIM cards need to be unrestricted –  Many SIM‘s are 4G -Data-Only, or with a single carrier or do not support machine -to- machine connections.  These include: intercoms, alarms, lifts, battery or solar powered cameras, fire panels etc

• SIM cards should be from major Telco companies such as: Telstra, Optus of Vodafone.  Home Security Online do not recommend 3-rd party SIM’s such as: Aldi, Amazim, Lebara, Boost etc.  Many 3-rd party SIM suppliers have it in their T &C’s that their SIM cards are not to be used in alarms, medical devices etc.

Why not consider a Ness Security Sim card for your alarm system.  Ness Telstra SIMs offer great rates are unrestricted and designed for Ness Security alarm systems, Ness diallers and even other brand security systems where compatible.
