Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Jul 28, 2017 5:15 pm Hi I am going throught a new home tender and the builder has put a Bosch 844 Security System in it (we asked for a security system) After a bit of investigation I have found out it may not be compatible with the NBN Bosch 844 Alarm Kits These 844 kits have 4 zone inputs for small houses, apartment units, and small businesses. They offer reliable security that is simple to operate. The Bosch 844 systems monitoring abilities include self-monitored domestic dialling and control room monitoring. There are two downfalls of domestic dialling. The first is that the existing copper phone networks disconnection as the NBN rollout proceeds across Australia, so this form of monitoring isn’t future proof. We are scheduled to get the NBN sometime next year. Can anyone give me some direction if this system is going to be OK or do I need to get another type of alarm. Thanks Colin Re: Security System - Bosch 844 2Aug 06, 2017 9:31 pm A lot of alarm manufacturers have add-on communication modules you can put into your alarm panel to add capability, such as Ethernet/IP modules so you can access your alarm over the internet (and cloud services which have mobile apps to "push" notifications to you). The Bosch 844 is a pretty basic panel, so I'm not sure if you could add a module on to that, but I guess depending on how badly you wanted the monitoring, you could put another Bosch panel in it that supports either Ethernet monitoring or a GSM panel (so your alarm system has a SIM card and it can dial out). Here's a bit about Alarm Over IP: http://au.boschsecurity.com/en/products ... ducts_5168 Here are some products to consider: https://www.cheapalarmparts.com.au/cate ... 2dIP-Kits/ Good luck! I had a similar consideration as I am currently building a 2 storey house, my builder is providing a basic alarm and I am going to add a communications module to it after Dan Building in Gwelup (WA) with APG Homes: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=88108 Re: Security System - Bosch 844 3Sep 26, 2017 10:26 am You can add the GSM unit to current alarm system to be compatible with NBN Rollout. It would cost you $149 as one-off payment to add the unit. Harvey Norman Security is offering it at $149 . Don't know about other companies.

Harvey Norman Security is offering it at $149 as of i know. Don't know what others are offering it at. It's all about wireless, self install now.
