Bosch Security Alarm Systems - Differences Between Solution 2000, 3000 & 6000
Bosch alarm systems provide home and small to medium business owners with security they can trust. Bosch alarm products are specifically designed for Australian regulations and conditions, making them ideal for NBN and local Wireless Communication. Bosch alarm systems can be self-monitored using mobile apps which alert you to any changes in the alarm system’s state (for example when the alarm system is armed or disarmed by a user, or when an intrusion is detected). All Bosch alarm panels can be additionally connected to and monitored by professional back-to-base security monitoring companies using ethernet and/or wireless communicators. Depending on the service agreement with the monitoring company, patrols can be sent out when an alarm state is detected and confirmed.
NOTE: Security Alarm Systems need to be installed by an installer with a Security License. Licensed installers are background-checked and registered with the Police.
