Ultimate smart monitoring and reliability

Issue 4 2023 Perimeter Security, Alarms & Intruder Detection, News & Events, Products & Solutions

Olarm is gearing up to unveil its latest product, the Olarm MAX. Set to be available in late 2023, this next-generation solution is poised to redefine smart monitoring by offering unparalleled connectivity options and functionality.

Based on input from customers, the Olarm MAX addresses several load-shedding-related challenges currently faced by monitoring companies and consumers. Olarm MAX adds multiple new features to the Olarm PRO 4G with ‘0G’ connectivity, optional external 4G antenna, internal field-replaceable lithium battery, and multi-tamper detection.

The Olarm MAX smart communicator adds the Olarm 0G network service that allows alarm-receiving centres and security providers to extend and manage the 0G coverage in their area, removing the reliance on mobile network operators with poor or unreliable signal.

Olarm MAX can be fitted with an internal lithium battery to maintain solid communication and signalling during load-shedding and power outages. If the alarm panel’s power has been tampered with during, or prior to, a break-in, Olarm MAX can still detect this activity and notifies the receiving centre, even when the alarm’s battery goes offline.

“The Olarm MAX’s new features, 0G, optional battery, optional 4G external antenna and tamper detection, will help security companies improve efficiencies by filtering out noise and improving the quality of alarm signals received in their control rooms. The new device will also enable a range of exciting new features and integrations, which will be revealed over the coming months," said Justin Zondagh, Olarm CTO
