The IP Communicator, from the Notifier division of the conglomerate Honeywell, performs alarm transmission through your existing LAN, WAN, ADSL or cable modem, using either dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) or public and private IP addressing. All signals also get sent to a secondary-receiver IP address should the primary become unavailable.
The connection between the IP Communicator and your local central station is tested every 90 seconds, and the central station can detect any off-line alarm panels within seconds. Plus, says the company, your alarm signals are transmitted using 512 bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the highest level for commercial use. Good, gracious, great call o' fire!
