When an alarm event is triggered, your alarm panel communicates through a Linksys adapter and transmits a signal over the Internet into our Monitoring server. Email and SMS text alerts can be sent out to any number of contacts. You have full control over which of your contacts receive alerts and you can even delay sending to certain contacts to give you chance to cancel false alarms.

The real power of monitoring DIY security systems over the Internet is when IP Cameras are used in conjunction with an alarm system. IP Cameras are ideal for the DIY community as they are so easy to install. They are now available at such low cost, it is often affordable to have one in each room - just as you would normally with a PIR movement detector.

Snapshots are taken the instant your alarm panel is activated, attached to an email and sent out to your cell phone. A conventional alarm system that dials over a telephone line can take anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute to reach the operator screen in the Central Station. The Linksys DIY IP Alarm Monitoring solution has a special feature that records from IP Cameras instantly and does not have to wait for an alarm signal to reach the Monitoring Center.
