Simple to use, TEXTALARM is cheap and carries extremely low operating costs.

Easy to install, light and compact, it gives complete security monitoring of property without the need for expensive third-party monitoring.

It works by sending pre-programmed text messages to a mobile phone when any of the four alarm inputs is activated.

When a pre-paid mobile phone system is used, users only pay for the text messages (around 12p per message).

In addition to 'alarm' mode, TEXTALARM provides a 'control' mode whereby text messages can be sent from a mobile phone to the unit to turn on or off any of the four outputs.

The TEXTALARM is eminently suitable for protecting homes, commercial properties, yachts, stables and other vulnerable high-value assets.
