Voice over IP

Our voice over IP phone service operates on a pay as you go basis as we understand that many people do not want to pay a monthly fee for something that they may not use all of the time. We allow an umlimited number of IP phones, softphones or VoIP apps to make calls form our PAYG service under a single account. Of course - you can connect your alarm system through it too.

If you want to receive incoming calls or text messages, it's easy to port your existing phone number across to us or order a brand new number. Inbound DID's start at just $1 per month and incoming calls cost 1c per minute. More..

Our business is crytocurrency friendly and you can save money by making payments with your favourite Crypto. Whether it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, a privacy coin or some other token - just let us know and we will send you our wallet address.

Alarm Monitoring since 2002

IP Alarms have been transmitting alarm signals over SIP networks since 2002. We have experienced a lot of technical challenges over that time and have been able to adapt our technology and network accordingly. Overly keen firewall rules, routers with badly designed SIP ALG's, low spec Internet connections and countless other hurdles have been overcome in order to prove that our technology is up to the task at hand. We help Alarm Panels that have worked for decades - work for decades more!

To upgrade, simply disconnect the alarm panel from the phone line and connect it to any 'off the shelf' analog terminal adapter (VoIP ATA). This will allow alarm signals to leave your home or business over your Internet connection instead of a copper phone line. Signals will reach the alarm company in exactly the same way as they did before the switch was made, so there are absolutely no changes required at either end.

SIP (VoIP) Technology

It's time to stop using phone lines for alarm monitoring and connect your reliably working systems to a modern SIP based network with low cost VoIP equipment instead. You stand to make big savings up front and every month thereafter. IP Alarms offer proven technology to migrate old alarm panels to modern networks.

There are still millions of old alarm panels connected to copper phone lines and almost all of them work reliably. Many homes and businesses are paying increasingly expensive monthly bills for traditional phone service because their alarm company insists that their alarm panel be replaced. It is uneconomical and completely unnecessary to replace reliably working security and fire alarm panels - especially when you have hundreds or even thousands of sites. It makes no business sense at all to do so.

It costs less than US$50 to purchase a single line VoIP Adapter. They can just as easily be installed and maintained by a home user or IT tech as they can by an alarm tech. Compare the cost of installing a simple VoIP adapter yourself to the cost of an alarm company replacing an alarm panel. Multiply those costs by the number of fire and security alarm panels in your organization and you start to get an indication of the scale of savings that can be made by companies with multiple sites. Imagine the initial savings they made by avoiding swapping out alarm panels and the savings they now make each and every month on the cost of telephone line rental.

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is more commonly known as Voice over IP and it is used for almost every phone conversation that takes place today. SIP networks are the modern-day replacement for traditional copper lines yet the majority of Alarm Dealers and Monitoring Centers in North America have somehow failed to recognize this. The consequences of this oversight has proven very costly for millions of Alarm System owners as they to pay for increasingly expensive telephone lines. Don't continue be one of them!

SIP networks are a modern-day replacement for copper phone lines yet the majority of Alarm Companies and Central Stations in the USA have failed to accept this. The consequences of this oversight has proven very costly for retailers as they are forced to pay for increasingly expensive phone service. Refuse to pay expensive fees to have your burglar and fire alarm panels replaced - it is totally unnecessary regardless of the make or model! Don't let the failure of the alarm industry dinosaurs cost you money. IT tech's are almost always more qualified to connect you to an IP based network than alarm tech's and they can usually do it at a much lower cost.

Analog Terminal Adapters have been around for more than two decades. They can intelligently detect network failures and switch to backup servers almost immediately. IP Alarms take full advantage of this important failover feature and our SIP servers are dispersed across multiple data centers in the USA providing our Customers with very robust technology. Where it could take days to detect a faulty phone line and wait for it to be repaired, re-routing is now seamlessly built into our platform.
