On the app if you have the keyswitch function enabled at the panel you will get a simple button to push to arm or disarm the system. If you have a semi-compatible system that is capable of using a keyswitch then you can also have that connection as well. The semi-compatible panels that the Alula devices are used on will mainly only have two connections for phone line and power. The alarm signals travel out of those terminals, into the cellular communicator, and out over the airwaves on their way to you or whoever else you set up in your account to receive notifications. This method of obtaining alarm data through those terminals is referred to as dialer capture. The connection to the phone line terminals of the alarm system is for sending of alarm signals. The connection to the keybus is to provide the virtual keypad control you’ll get in the Alula Security smartphone app. The reason for the power connections are obvious.

The way that the IP BAT LTE and the BAT WIFI install into panels that have full compatibility will require wiring to the keybus terminals where you usually wire in keypads, a connection to the panel’s auxiliary power terminals, and a connection to the system’s phone line terminals. Just as in the case of Honeywell you’ll only be able to use the Alula devices on the NetworX hardwired alarm systems. The last manufacturer, Interlogix, also has panels that are fully compatible and some that are only partially compatible. You’ll only be able to use these devices, unlike DSC, on the Honeywell hardwired systems. These panels are all fully compatible with the features that are offered as far as notifications and remote access and control. The Honeywell panels that are compatible with these two Alula devices are listed below. Some of the panels can only send you notifications while others are fully compatible for the notifications and the full virtual keypad in the Alula Security app. The DSC panels that are compatible with the IP BAT LTE and the BAT WIFI will be listed below. These companies are DSC, Honeywell, and Interlogix. The Alula devices work with three major manufacturers alarm systems.

Now we’ll focus a little on compatibility where we’ll list which security systems these Alula communicators can be used on. These features, as before, are available fully on some systems and in limited fashion on others where you’ll only get the notifications and a simple keyswitch arming and disarming.

The BAT WIFI offers the same functionality as the IP BAT LTE so far as giving you the three notification types email, SMS text, and automated voice phone call plus the remote control feature for arming and disarming your system via the smartphone app. The BAT WIFI is an internet only communicator and can be connected to a router through WIFI WPS connection or ethernet cable because of the included RJ45 port on the device itself. The next offering from Alula is the BAT WIFI.

The semi-compatibility is that the unit can be used to send the three different notification types and provide a simple keyswitch function which ends up being a one button arm/disarm feature on the Alula Security app. What we mean by this is full compatibility includes the ability to deliver alarm and system notifications via email, SMS text message, or automated voice phone call plus a fully functional virtual keypad that you can access through the Alula Security app which can be downloaded from the iTunes Store or Google Play. The IP BAT LTE is fully compatible with quite a few of the major manufacturer’s alarm panels. The high-gain antennae boost signal strength up to 50% to help ensure that you’ll get the best signal possible. This unit comes with two high-gain antennae and has an RJ45 ethernet port for connection to a router. This uses cellular and internet paths to provide users with full redundancy which means if one path fails then the other takes over so you’re not left unprotected. The first one is the IP BAT LTE Dual Path Communicator. The self-monitoring devices Alula offers are either dual path cellular and internet or internet communicators that you can add to hardwired, and some wireless alarm systems to give users their own alarm notifications and remote control of their security systems.Īlula currently offers two communicators that you can use. Alula was formerly known as IPDatatel and recently joined forces with Resolution Products who was another leader in security technology.
