You choose VoIP only (or VoIP only XL) if you ONLY want to use our Voice over IP telephony; calling via the Internet. This may be, for example, because you want to call with your own SIM card, do not have your own VoIP provider but do want to be redundant via VoIP or for countries where our GSM SIM card has no coverage.

1. VoIP only for contact-controlled alarms (Touch and Touch Pro)
2. VoIP only XL for network controlled alarms via Octalarm Link (Touch Pro and ARA-Pro Next)

The service Octalarm Connect* ensures that calls can be made at low, fixed costs per month via GSM and/or VoIP. Via the setup wizard your installer can easily activate the SIM card that comes with it. No firewall issues (VPN) occur as a result and no manual e-mail settings (SMTP) are required. The alarm dialler works 'out of the box'.

1. All in service for GSM and VoIP/SIP calling with KPN simcard and 24/7 monitored Adésys servers
2. Fully configured and ready to use straight out of the box
3. One fixed price per month (flat fee); payment per month by automatic collection with end customer (at € 14,95 per month)

You activate Octalarm Connect in just 8 steps. How you do that is explained in the information sheet Why choose Octalarm Connect?

^* Octalarm Connect has coverage in zone 1 and zone 2

Both services ensure that calls can be made directly at low, fixed costs per month via GSM and/or VoIP (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.

1. Octalarm Connect / VoIP only for contact-controlled alarms (Touch and Touch Pro)
2. Octalarm Connect XL / VoIP only XL for network controlled alarms via Octalarm Link (Touch Pro and ARA-Pro Next)

Octalarm Connect works in zone 1 and zone 2 (Download coverage overview Octalarm Connect)

1. Create a company account on the Octalarm portal (https://portal.octalarm.com) at a location where internet is available
2. Contact the Adésys helpdesk by phone so we can manually add the Octalarm-Touch or the Octalarm-Touch Pro to your account. The helpdesk can be reached from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm on telephone number +31 174 794024.
   To manually add the dialler, we need the serial number of the Octalarm-Touch or Octalarm-Touch Pro:
   1. Press on the GSM range at de device
   2. Write down the serial number on the system information screen
3. Activate Octalarm Connect through the Octalarm portal
   1. Go to the tab 'Account'
   2. Select 'Octalarm Connect'
   3. Follow the instructions for registration and payment

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.
