The digital communicator is an add-on gadget that connects to your phone line, and sends alarm messages to an Alarm Receiving Centre, or ARC as it is known. A digital communicator is not a device reserved for businesses. Anyone can have a digital communicator, and should, as a minimum to give at least basic protection!
The ARC will process the information that it receives from the digital communicator, and do the appropriate action, according to your wishes, and to a set of rules which are dictated by the British Standard.
Provided that your alarm control panel is able to give out the requisite signals, a digital communicator can be added quite simply. Any telephone line can be used, and any service provider too.
To increase the security level, you may also like to subscribe to 'BT Call Waiting' which allows the digital communicator to send it's messages even when the phone is being used for another call, or if the phone is off the hook.
A further increase in security will entail having a separate line, with incoming calls barred. In practice, though, it is very rare that you hear of burglars keeping the phone ringing while they break in, so it is probably unnecessary to go to such lengths unless you are a higher security risk.
In any case, when your level of risk is greater, you should consider the more secure alternatives for remote signalling: RedCARE GSM and DualCom. Click on either to learn more.
