Advantages of Switching to a Cellular Dialer Fire Alarm System

 A cellular dialer for a fire alarm system is an active way of monitoring an alarm. Before the advent of the cellular dialer, a lot of passive and dual-path monitoring systems were used. These systems, however, do tend to face frequent breakdowns and other technical issues which make them quite an unreliable source of security monitoring. Even with its zero downtime and stable response, the DVAC (Digital Voice Access Control System) became an unpopular choice in the market.


A better and more reliable alternative to the DVAC, cellular dialer for fire alarm has an active functioning and is liked by the consumers as well. In this system, a cellular chip is installed into the alarm system of the control panel. This cellular chip now acts as a source of communication (mediator) between the monitoring station of the alarm system and the alarm system itself.


In simpler words, imagine using a cellphone. Now, imagine using this cellphone only for the purpose of monitoring your security system. This ‘cellphone’ would make your cellular dialer for a fire alarm system.


A  cellular dialer for a fire alarm system has a number of benefits, some of which are listed below:


  1. Disabling the Alarm


One of the major issues with passive alarms is that they are easy to disable. In the case of active cellular dialers, disabling the fire alarm becomes a task for burglars thus making it a high-security alarm system.


  1. Remote Access


Another major benefit of the cellular dialer for the fire alarm system is that it provides remote access as well. This means that this alarm system not only provides high security but provides interactive monitoring as well.


  1. Supervision


Cellular dialer for fire alarm system comprises of features similar to the DVAC and has a supervised pathway system. This means that the system does away with the dual- pathway communication system and connects the supervision facility to the alarm system in a primary connection.


If you wish to get a better mode of monitoring, and one that provides a higher level of security than any other mode, we recommend you to switch to a cellular dialer for a fire alarm system right away.
