Alarm.com ADC-SEM210-PS-AT Dual Path AT&T Cellular Communicator For DSC PowerSeries Alarm Panels

The Alarm.com ADC-SEM210-PS-AT is a dual-path system enhancement module (SEM) designed to migrate compatible DSC PowerSeries PC1616, PC1832 and PC1864 panels (V4.2 and higher) to Alarm.com’s award-winning interactive services. The ADC-SEM210-PS-AT dual-path SEM supports the AT&T 4G LTE cellular network and optional broadband Ethernet. The multiple paths ensures the longest life cycle with the most secure and reliable service.

Note: Requires a length of 22ga 4-conductor (non-shielded) cable to connect the SEM to your PowerSeries panel.  We recommend a 2ft length of cable available at Lowes/Home Depot etc.  Only three (3) conductors will actually be used.

You will also need to know the panel’s Installer Code for installation!  The default DSC Installer code is 5555 but may have been changed.

Features:

• Fast, Reliable & Secure Wireless Signaling: The Dual Path SEM sends alarms and system events over both the Verizon LTE cellular network and Broadband Ethernet connection to ensure fast, reliable, and secure communication. A landline phone connection is not required.  Works via plug-in Ethernet not WIFI.
• 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.
• Home Automation & Energy Management: Alarm.com’s automation and energy management services allow remote control of Z-Wave devices through web and mobile interfaces. Rules can be created to leverage the entire system of connected devices and security sensors.

Alarm.com’s camera line-up includes HD-quality indoor and outdoor cameras as well as a stream video recorder for 24/7 recording.
• No Seperate 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.
• Easy-to-Read Diagnostics: The SEM’s diagnostic LEDs allow installers to monitor the connection between the control panel and the module and between the module and the LTE cellular network. The LEDs also indicate cellular signal strength, which is useful when choosing the best location for the SEM installation.
