Overview

Remote Monitoring & Control via Web/Mobile
Operation of the SEM from the Alarm.com web and mobile interface is
simple and allows system access at any time, from any location. Web
features from Alarm.com include viewing system and sensor
status/history, arming and disarming the system, setting up and
managing user codes, and creating customized e-mail and text
message notifications for any type of alarm or non-alarm activity at
the property.

Fast, Reliable & Secure Wireless Signaling
The SEM is intended to be used as the primary communication path
for alarm signaling to the central monitoring station, via the CDMA
network instead of a landline phone connection.
No Separate Power Supply Needed
The SEM does not require its own battery or transformer. It runs on
the control panel’s AC power and backup battery sources and can
function reliably for more than 24 hours during a power outage.
