Octalarm Connect | Octalarm Connect XL
The service Octalarm Connect ensures that calls via mobile networks and VoIP are available immediately for low, fixed costs per month. The VoIP call connection is guaranteed via a double executed secure server of Adesys. You can easily activate the supplied SIM card during the setup wizard. As a result, no firewall issues (VPN) occur and no manual email settings (SMTP) are required. Herewith, the alarm dialler works out of the box.
Connect versus Connect XL
We offer two different services: Octalarm Connect and Octalarm Connect XL. The difference between the two services is in the number of messages that can be called out. Connecting with process computers automatically results in more alarm messages, so a larger bundle is needed.
- Octalarm Connect (a € 14,95) is offered with the Octalarm-Touch.
- Octalarm Connect XL (a € 19.95) is offered with the Octalarm-Touch Pro.

However, when 2G and 3G are switched off in the country concerned, as for example in the United States, the Octalarm should call over 4G using VoLTE. This is not possible with KPN's current M2M sims. KPN is considering the roll-out of VoLTE on these SIM cards, but it is not yet clear when this will start. More information on the global VoLTE roll-out

Both services ensure that calls can be made directly at low, fixed costs per month via GSM and VoIP/SIP (with Adesys servers monitored 24/7). The difference is in the number of messages that can be called out. Linking with process computers automatically results in more alarm messages, so a larger bundle is needed.

Yes, that is correct. Due to the strongly increased purchase costs for GSM and VoIP/SIP calls and the rising costs for maintenance and keeping the 24/7 monitored Adésys servers in the air, we are forced to increase the price of Octalarm Connect from January 2022 to € 14,95 per month. The use of the portal (https://portal.octalarm.com) and the app 'Adesys Alarm' will remain free of charge.
Besides the price increase, the general terms and conditions of Octalarm Connect have also been changed.

An annual invoice for paying your Octalarm Connect subscription is unfortunately not possible.
Our automated direct debit system Mollie Payments, which is used worldwide, does not offer the possibility to do an annual direct debit.
The processing of payments is fully automatic and may take a few days. If the amount has already been debited from your account and you have not yet received an invoice via e-mail, the invoicing has not yet been fully processed at that time. As soon as the payment has been fully processed, the invoice will automatically be sent to the Email address provided.
