I installed a NX-8E panel about a year a ago. Its been working well. I have a speaker, 3 wireless motion sensors and 5 wireless door sensors and two wired keypads.
I have decided to add 2 glass brakage sensors and 5 more door and window sensors so that every window and door on the first floor and basement will have its own sensor.
I want to be able to have the panel communicate using something other than the phone line.
Idealy I want the panel to send me sms messages when events take place, alarm tripped etc. etc.
I cant seem to find any info on how to do this. Can I:
use ethernet to do this by directly connecting my network to the panel with the tcp/ip add on?
Can I use the cellementary add on to do this?
will I need to pay for service?
what plans are available and from who for the cell service?
Thanks.
John
