TAD-201 Informer Monitoring System Describtion: The Informer is an alarm add-on designed to overcome the greatest problem associated with standard burglar alarms. What will happen when it goes off? Your alarm is useless unless someone does something when they hear it go off and in general nothing will be done. The sound of alarms going off has become so common in day to day life that most of us simply ignore them or become annoyed at the disturbance they cause. The solution is simple - the Informer. How does it work? The Informer has only four connections to be made to your existing alarm system. Once these connections are made the unit is configured by sending it text messages. The configuration is simple and the defaults will suit most installations. After configuration the alarm system is used as normal. If an intruder is detected text messages are sent to the phone numbers configured in the Informer. Arming and Disarming The Informer is armed and disarmed automatically by the alarm system it is connected to. It can however be disabled and re-enabled by text message.
	What is the Informer? The Informer is an add-on for your existing alarm system that notifies you or your friends by SMS text message when your alarm is triggered. But remotely monitored alarm systems are expensive! The Informer is not expensive to run. There is no contract involved. In fact, you only pay for the text messages the Informer sends you when the alarm is triggered and messages you send to it for configuration or status querying. If you put a standard prepay SIM card into the informer you will only pay around 12p per message.
Capabilities The Informer has three pull-low inputs and one pull-high input. One of the pull-low inputs can be configured to be an output if required and can be controlled by text message. Each of the inputs can be configured to transmit a user defined message to up to four phones when it is switched on or off.
