woodpecker Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi folks, I want a GSM backup module to add to my Galaxy G3 system, I phoned one alarm company who told me a specific module isn't available, if this is the case would someone please recommend the best way to add GSM backup to the G3 and also where to buy it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RJBsec Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 G3 is basically designed for professional security solutions so 'add-on' GSM module wouldn't be a desired feature - you can get externally fitted GSM diallers that would work with outputs on the G3 e.g This one here ( God forbid! ) I don't recommend any particular unit.

I thought the G3 being a professinal panel would have a GSM add on, I see there is a G2 GSM add on, why would the G3 not want one? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A G3 unit is designed for a PD6662 Grade 3 professional installation, a standard GSM unit would be considered as being for PD6662 Grade 2 use only, (or less - as in GSM diallers often used in the DIY market).

I guess maybe I've gone a bit OTT with a G3, its only my house alarm, it is going to be monitored, I just liked the idea of a GSM backup in case someone chopped the phone line, is this OTT for a normal house install? Should I just leave it with the phone connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I should have checked this before installing it, maybe I should change it to a G2 then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 if your connecting it to proper monitoring then as roger says you want a dualcom or a redgsm. A gsm module is a diy type solution and the g3 is not designed as a diy panel securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
