Octalarm Connect

The service Octalarm Connect ensures that calls via mobile networks and/or 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.

Various subscription forms

We offer different subscription types (one fixed price per month; flat fee):

Octalarm Connect

  1. For contact-controlled alarms (Touch and Touch Pro)
    1. Connect (GSM and VoIP): € 14,95 excl. VAT
    2. VoIP only: € 8,95 excl. VAT

Octalarm Connect XL

  1. For network controlled alarms via Octalarm Link (Touch Pro and ARA-Pro Next)
    1. Connect XL (GSM and VoIP): € 19,95 excl. VAT
    2. VoIP only XL: € 13,95 excl. VAT

Due to rising costs for maintaining and keeping the 24/7 monitored Adésys servers on the air and increases for VoIP, we are forced to increase the price of all Octalarm Connect subscriptions by €1 per month from January 2025.

With VoIP only, customers can use our VoIP telephony in all countries where we do not have GSM coverage.

The difference between Connect and Connect XL is 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.

Where Octalarm Connect has coverage

Octalarm Connect has coverage in Europe (zone 1; blue area) and in North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and some countries in South America and Africa (zone 2; orange area). Go to the overview 'Where Octalarm Connect has coverage' 

KPN has recently initiated the rollout of VoLTE on these sim cards and the conversion of all sim cards will be completed before the end of October 2024. This will make it possible to send voice messages via VoLTE using KPN's current M2M SIMs. More information on the global VoLTE roll-out
