Security and Alarm Systems Blog

Every Security System we install from San Diego to Riverside to Irvine is outfitted with a DMP Security Control Panel. Digital Monitoring Products, or DMP is a recognized leader in network and cellular alarm communications. We choose to partner with DMP for many reasons.

These are just a few of the main reasons we choose to install DMP control panels and keypads. There are so many options we can offer our customers because we partner with DMP. A new and exciting feature is the ability to communicate an alarm over a home or business network (using the internet) rather than the old way through a land line. Also, the new ePad allows our customers to arm and disarm their system using a web interface from anywhere in the world. By far, however, the most important feature of a DMP Security control panel is that we can install security, fire alarm, and door access control equipment to it. The programming features allow for this integration, ahich is great for our customers because it saves them money, and allows us to be more competitive with companies offering sub-par alarm equipment.

We have a very good understanding of what makes a security control panel desirable to the end-user, and this is a list that I came across today explaining why the DMP XR500N is a great option for commercial applications. The integration options are phenomenal with this panel. Read below for the list of features I’m referring to:

About SystemLink
The SystemLink Software package by Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) is an end-user alarm panel management software solution that allows you to easily maintain important panel operations from your personal computer. Through System Link, you are able to setup new alarm system users and System Link operators, configure new panel accounts, monitor system status, silence alarms, and more. SystemLink operates with all DMP Security Control Panels.

SystemLink and your Security System
With SystemLink, you can easily make changes to your user codes, track your systems usage with opening/closing reports, and even silence and alarm. One practical use that a homeowner found for SystemLink was busting his maid. She told him she had worked for ten hours, but upon tracking the times that the security system recorded doors opening and closing, she had actually worked 5 hours. So much for the honor system.

If your home or office is broken into, SystemLink can isolate the point of entry, and give insight into other details of the break-in such as which motion detectors were set off, and in what order. This recreation of a burglary could help a detective find key evidence.
