CONTROL YOUR SECURITY FROM YOURPHONE

Modern security isn't just about an alarm sounding when an intruder enters.

Today's systems can give you greater visibility and control wherever you are.

Depending on the system installed, customers can benefit from features such as:

Remote arming & disarming

  • Control your alarm from your smartphone.

Instant notifications

  • Receive alerts when important events occur.

Remote system management

  • Stay connected to your security system when you're away.

Multiple users

  • Give trusted family members or employees appropriate access.

Smart automation

  • Connect security with other property functions where supported.

TEXECOM GUARDIAN

Professional guard response meets connected security

Texecom has introduced Guardian, bringing professional guard-response functionality into theTexecom Connect ecosystem.

This represents an important development for customers who want their alarm system to provide morethan simply an audible warning.

For suitable installations, connected security can provide a pathway towards a more comprehensiveresponse strategy.

Why does this matter?

An alarm can detect an event.

A connected security system can notify you.

And with appropriate professional response services, an incident can receive further attention when itmatters.

Security is becoming increasingly connected — and Texecom is continuing to develop its digital ecosystem around this.

TEXECOM PREMIER ELITE

Proven professional security — with modern connectivity

The Texecom Premier Elite range remains a strong option for professional installations, includingcommercial premises and higher-security applications.

Current Premier Elite systems can integrate with Texecom Cloud, Texecom Connect and SmartCom/SmartCom 4G , providing remote management and diagnostics alongside the established alarmhardware.

For customers with an older Texecom system, an upgrade doesn't necessarily mean starting again.

In many cases, we can assess your existing installation and determine whether components can beretained while upgrading the control equipment and connectivity

WHY UPGRADE YOUR ALARM SYSTEM?

If your existing alarm system is several years old, you may be missing out on technology that is nowavailable as standard on newer systems.

An upgrade could give you:

✓ Smartphone control

  • Arm, disarm and monitor your system remotely.

✓ Better connectivity

  • Modern communication options can provide improved ways of keeping your system connected.

✓ More intelligent notifications

  • Know what is happening at your property rather than simply discovering an alarm has sounded.

✓ Remote diagnostics

  • Modern connected systems can make servicing and fault finding more efficient.

✓ Expandability

  • Newer platforms can provide greater flexibility if your security requirements change.

✓ Future-ready protection

  • Keep your security system aligned with today's technology rather than relying on outdated equipment.

IS YOUR ALARM SYSTEM DUE AN UPGRADE?

You may want to consider an upgrade if:

• Your alarm system is more than 8–10 years old

• You don't currently have smartphone control

• Your system relies on older communication technology

• You regularly experience faults or false alarms

• Your system is difficult to expand
