A customer asked me the other day if the Alarm I was fitting was capable of sending text notifications as well as the ARC monitoring. I was fitting a Scantronic 65 which can't do that but I was wondering if theres a bit of kit, like a menvier SD1+, except capable of sending texts instead of speech.

Any1 hav any ideas?

the sd2 does texting but the galaxy 2 series will do arc and text on board.

for that, suprised I've never heard of the SD2. Any idea how much they cost roughly?

Texecom speech/text dialler does it-along with 8 telephone numbers as opposed to the SD1's 4,don't know bout the SD2 though.

Oh and it's only about 80 quid-dread to think what an SD2 costs .

Just remember that unless it is a dedicated APN, the chances of an sms getting through timeously could be risky...

How many times have you received an sms a few hours late?

If an ARC is involved this may not be a major problem... It's only if one is not involved that it could be a problem!

If the customer inccurs a loss, they will be going at you, even if you verbally told them the potential risks.

If they insist on this, get it in writing!

monitoring for as little as 37p per day.

Texecom Premier with COM2400 module does Text messaging very well - less than 30 seconds (from actual event happening) for message to be displayed on mobile phone screen.

SD2 is great device and its very flexible. You could send different texts depending on what triggers it. You also have good old fashion
