The I8 W2G is an advanced contact-controlled remote monitoring communicator which operating in parallel on WIFI and 2G mobile networks. When the status of the input contacts changes (from NO to NC or vice versa), the communicator sends a report (in SIA IP format) to the configured remote monitoring receivers.
Another advantage is that it can connect to a back-end server (IoT) in the background, which allows continuous remote access to the communicator via a web browser, i.e. the device can be managed remotely. This means that even the connected alarm can be remotely accessed, configured and programmed at any time. Thanks to the back-end server, it allows remote connection of the alarms to local PCs for downloading or programming, using so-called peer to peer (or P2P) technology, thus ensuring a stable, fail-safe remote connection, similar to a direct cable connection, due to the extremely fast response time of the network.
The product incorporates the so-called ERPWDN (automatic power down unit), in addition of course to the external reset circuit (wachdog) of the microcontroller, which eliminates the phenomenon of freeze-ups caused by mobile network events. When a fault is detected, an independent circuit will fully de-energised the unit for about 5 seconds, ensuring a perfect restart.
