Remote Alarm Monitoring with the GSM Commander

Stay in control of your alarms, no matter where you are. With GSM Commander, you’ll receive instant SMS notifications when an alarm is triggered, ensuring your property, equipment, and people stay safe and secure.

Why Remote Alarm Monitoring is Essential

In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, real-time monitoring is more than just a convenience, it’s a necessity. Whether you’re running a farm, managing a commercial building, or overseeing a factory floor, being alerted the moment something goes wrong can save you time, money, and even lives.

Without remote monitoring, alarm signals like sirens or flashing lights are only useful if someone is physically present. If no one is there to see or hear the alert, critical time is lost.

Meet the GSM Commander

GSM Commander is a powerful, reliable, and affordable device designed to monitor alarm outputs and send SMS notifications when triggered. It connects to virtually any system or device that has an alarm output. Once connected, it can notify you, and others within seconds when a condition is met or a failure occurs.

From industrial environments to remote locations, GSM Commander ensures you’re always in the loop.

How GSM Commander Works

The GSM Commander connects directly to alarm outputs from devices like:

PLCs and controllers
Fire panels
Industrial sensors
Smoke detectors
Door and window sensors
Water level and temperature sensors

Once installed, the device uses the GSM mobile network to send real-time SMS alerts to predefined contacts. These messages notify you instantly of:

Alarms triggered
Fault conditions
System changes
Power failures

Because it works over GSM, there’s no need for an internet connection, making it ideal for remote or off-grid locations.

Key Features of GSM-Based Monitoring

SMS Notifications – Receive immediate alerts via SMS when an alarm output is activated.

Multiple Input Support – Monitor several alarms or devices at once with multi-input capability.

GSM Network Compatibility – Works anywhere a GSM signal is available—perfect for off-grid areas.

Power Failure Detection – Get notified when there’s a power outage and when power is restored.

Use Cases and Industry Applications

GSM Commander is versatile and adaptable. Here’s how different industries are using it:

Fire Panel Monitoring and Safety

Fire alarms are critical, and response time is everything. GSM Commander lets you:

Receive SMS alarms from your fire panel when smoke or fire is detected.
Connect smoke detectors directly to the GSM Commander and have it trigger your fire sprinklers or ventilation systems.
Monitor temperature, humidity, or gas levels to prevent fires before they happen.
This makes it an excellent tool for both active and passive fire protection strategies.

Monitoring Fault Alarms from 3rd-Party Devices

Nearly every PLC or controller in use today includes alarm outputs. These are typically wired to sirens or strobe lights that go off when a fault occurs, but what if no one is there to see it? By wiring these alarm outputs to the GSM Commander, you can:

Receive immediate SMS notifications when a fault condition is met.
Monitor multiple alarms from different devices on one unit.
Respond quickly to machine failures, sensor errors, or environmental issues.
No more missed alerts. No more costly delays.
