Hi all, i'm a spark by trade andi'm fairly new to the site but i've been asked to connect an autodialler to an alarm system thats on a boat. I've been told that its possible to connect an autodialler to a mobile phone, could anyone point us in the right direction as regards this ie brands of dialler, connections any adaptions needed etc. It may also need a new panel due to the code being mis-laid, anyone know of the best type of panel to use that makes best use of battery power? Any advice gratefully recieved!! Thanx

There is a similar thread here somewhere, who was using this sort of kit for a remote factory/storage unit?

Think arfur was involved in it somewhere.

Hi All,

that remote factory turned out to be holding exsplosives . and we suggested radio linked detection. i have not used any gsm only diallers, and the boat owner would need to check signal on a particular network in the mooring.

one suggestion comes to mind though, it's a completely different product to a true alarm dialler as it's a bit of kit used on remote un-manned gate posts. you fit a sim card into it and when the call push is pressed it dials a sequence of pre-programmed phone numbers as entered into the Pay As U Go sim card by any mobile network.

any alarm fitted could use this as a 'dry contact' interface, and no message needed as the number will only be from the boat. having a remote option to open a gate via a relay output, and of course you have a speech path, so this could be used voice verify and to sound sirens whatever, and i think curent drain is also very small.

There are quite a few alarm panels with GSM modules as an add on, how many available to non trade im not so sure.

Nah , chaps name aint bob

Just wondered.

Well if you get this thing working, e-mail me as I have got a guy in Tewkesbury who wants the same thing. I don't want to do it as I will have to support it from Weston-super-Mare.

Does a wanderer panel have a gsm built in then?

Just had a look on the castle web site, that wanderer panel looks like a pretty top spec panel, is there anything it wont do!? But also noticed that its currently not in production which i thought was strange, (surely should remove its listing then).But like you said Jameswilson looks like it would be big bucks anyway.
