If you are an installer whose customer base is still largely using these legacy systems, it is time to switch them over to ALL IP products. The project is well underway and the impact is already being seen at premises across the UK, leaving customers at risk and without any Intruder, Fire or CCTV monitoring that use ISDN services. This will have a wider impact across many legacy alarm monitoring systems which are reliant upon PSTN lines to send signals to their respective Alarm Receiving Centers. – Ideal security and fire detection application for any home or business.As widely communicated, Openreach are gradually withdrawing all support for old public switched telephone network – PSTN. – Continuous monitoring 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whichever system you choose you can have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that if an intruder enters you property, a signal will be sent to your monitoring station and police alerted. The varying levels of Redcare monitoring depend on the needs of your property and the requirements of your insurance company. Keybury uses BT Redcare as one of their signalling options on their security systems and is very popular with our customers. Redcare works below the voice frequency spectrum on a phone line and therefore does not interfere with phone calls, so there is no need for an extra line. If a 2nd zone is confirmed activated, the monitoring station can then alert emergency services to attend the site and investigate the disturbance. If a zone is activated, the monitoring station is alerted. Enhanced versions exist that also use GSM (mobile) as a back up to the main phone line.Įvery 2 minutes Redcare GSM tests that the alarm is working. If the phone line is cut or there is a fault, the alarm receiving centre will be notified. This prevents alarm systems being defeated by the line being cut. The basic system involves transmitting a continuous signal on a standard phone line, which can also be used for normal voice and broadband services. Redcare is widely deployed from BT which at its highest level is the highest security grade on the European standard of intruder alarms.

BT Redcare is the largest supplier of fire and security alarm signalling services in the UK.
