Description

The NetworX NX-592E-LTE-ZX-VZ is a Verizon LTE cellular communicator for Alarm.com. This device will communicate alarm signals from a NetworX 4V2, 6V2, 8V2 and 8E panels to the Alarm.com server. It also integrates control of compatible Z-Wave devices with the built-in automation controller. The Alarm.com part number is NX-410-US-VZ. Overall, this is a tremendous communicator that will greatly enhance a compatible alarm system.

Cellular communication is the most reliable communication path available for an alarm system. Cellular service is readily available, and cell towers are almost never down. It is also one of the fastest forms of communication available for security panels, especially with LTE speeds. And since the connection is wireless, it cannot be tampered with by intruders. This makes cellular communication incredibly secure as well. For those reasons, we encourage every user to get cellular service for their system.

A cellular communicator will allow the system to connect with Alarm.com. This service is used for arming and disarming, checking sensor status and controlling Z-Wave devices. A user can access Alarm.com through any web browser. They can also use the official Alarm.com Mobile App to perform these actions from virtually anywhere. Once they login to their Alarm.com account, they will gain complete access to their system. This is great for situations when a user needs to control their alarm system while they are not on-site with their panel.

Another major benefit of a cellular communicator is the ability for the system to interface with Z-Wave home automation devices. These include Z-Wave lights, locks, thermostats and more. A user can access Alarm.com and establish a home automation schedule to manage their Z-Wave devices. This can help save the user save money and make their life more convenient. A user can also have Z-Wave devices activate when certain system events occur, such as when the panel is armed or disarmed or when a sensor is triggered. Once they get started, many users wonder how they ever lived without Z-Wave home automation.

Useful NetworX Communicator!

The Interlogix NetworX NX-592E-LTE-ZX-VZ is a Verizon LTE cellular communicator for hardwired Interlogix NetworX Panels, including the NetworX 4V2, 6V2, 8V2, and 8E. The device allows one of these compatible panels to communicate with the Alarm.com servers for monitoring service. The unit also includes a built-in Z-Wave controller to open up automation possibilities for the system. This is a great module if you have an existing NetworX System that you want to keep using, but you need to get it running with an LTE communicator. Overall, we really like the Interlogix NetworX NX-592E-LTE-ZX-VZ, and we award it 5 Stars.

There are many aspects to like about this product. For one, it provides the panel with cellular connectivity across the Verizon LTE Network. As long as the system has adequate coverage from Verizon, it will always maintain connectivity with Alarm.com. The fact that this is an LTE communicator is also very important, as Verizon plans on maintaining support for their LTE network well into the very distant future. We also appreciate the fact that the module doubles as a Z-Wave controller. This way, you can pair various Z-Wave devices with your system so that they can be controlled remotely through Alarm.com and included with smart scenes.

There are not many downsides to this product. One issue is that it is for compatible Interlogix NetworX Panels only, which somewhat limits its versatility. Although the device has a built-in Z-Wave controller, an Interlogix NetworX Panel won't allow for local Z-Wave control. Therefore, all Z-Wave operation will need to occur through Alarm.com. We are also a little disappointed by the fact that this is a cell-only communicator, rather than a dual-path communicator with both IP and cellular. But really, these downsides are fairly minor. We can wholeheartedly give the Interlogix NetworX NX-592E-LTE-ZX-VZ a 5-Star rating.

Good: Reliable Cellular Connectivity, LTE, Z-Wave Functionality

Bad: For NetworX Only, No Local Z-Wave Control, Not Dual-Path

Bottom Line: 5 Stars
