Telguard Interactive Alternitives?

Hello,

I would like to use the features like telguard interactive provides for smartphone on my alarm system.
Is there a possibility/alternitive to do it like they do ?

Thank you

These newer smart phone interactive features like this work through monitoring accounts. They don't work as standalone hardware features.

There really aren't any systems being marketed that offer these type of remote access features that don't depend on the central station monitoring account. A handful of systems have IP communication features that give some access and control, but they all have limits and flaws.

Basically, the digital world has changed radically in a fairly short span of time. The security alarm industry changes _much_ slower; because every change has to pass UL muster.

Thank you Ron again.

So an Alarm Relay Monitoring account together with SImon XT and Uplink GSM 2500 would be just fine?

Is there a reason you don't want to use a Telguard device?
