Universal Communicators
The modules found in this section are universal communicators, so they will work with pretty much any alarm system out there in some capacity. Many of these universal communicators use dial capture, meaning they read the data coming out of your system's phone line terminals to forward the signal. Certain communicators, like the Uplinks, also offer input triggers that allow them to report a basic burglary or fire signal by merely receiving power from the unit they are connected to. Check each device's product page to see what services they require to operate.
More About Universal Communicators
The first communicators in this section are the Alula BAT communicators. These Universal communicators use dial capture to read the signals coming from your alarm system's phone line terminals and forward them to a Central Station. The Alula BAT communicators also offer integration and remote interactive features to certain alarm systems that they are compatible with, like the DSC PowerSeries and Honeywell Vista. The Alula BAT-Connect offers dual-path communication using 4G LTE, Ethernet, and/or Wifi. The Alula BAT Mini AV is a dual-path communicator; however, it communicates via dual-SIM 4G LTE and Wi-Fi only.
Following that, we also carry the Uplink universal communicators. The Uplink communicators are quite unique in that they offer options for both dial capture as well as input triggers for reporting to a Central Station. The Uplink 5500M offers 4 independent inputs, allowing up to 4 different devices, or triggers, to prompt the unit to send an alarm signal. These inputs, when used with an alarm system's bell circuit, are also able to read the voltage coming from the panel and tell whether a burglary signal or a fire signal needs to be sent. In addition, the Uplink 5530M features both dial capture and 2 digital inputs for sending alarm signals. Both Uplink communicators have dual SIM cards for AT&T and Verizon, which means the units will use the service that provides the best cellular signal in your area. Uplink communicators are also able to provide some basic notifications via email or text, along with being able to forward signals to a Central Station. These Uplink models are great for those who do not have the ability to program their alarm system, but would like to have basic alarm monitoring.
And lastly, we have the Alarm.com LX30B universal communicator. The LX30B offers dial capture for signal transfer and is able to integrate to an extent with certain alarm systems using its onboard smart connector. The LX30B is compatible with a wide range of older alarm systems from DSC, GE, Honeywell, Paradox and more. The LX30B uses an AT&T SIM card to provide cellular signal transfer to a Central Station, and offers basic inputs and outputs for things such as keyswitch arming to add remote control via an app to your alarm system.
