NORTH CANTON, Ohio – Central de Alarmas Adler, S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) and a premier security provider for more than 30 years, is the first company of its kind in Mexico to monitor alarm signals over the Internet for commercial and residential customers in Mexico.
“By using a network connection, Internet monitoring customers save money by avoiding the cost of adding and maintaining an additional phone line and paying for long-distance charges between the alarm panel and the central station,” said Alberto Esquivel, general manager of Central de Alarmas Adler.
Internet alarm monitoring works by transmitting a secure signal from an alarm panel via a data network connection to a central station.
In addition to cost savings, customers gain the advantage of increased speed and line security through signal transmission via a network link. The connection transmits signals in milliseconds, as opposed to dial-up connections that may take upwards of 60 seconds, or may result in busy signals from the central station receiver.
”Internet monitoring is a prime example of Diebold’s ability to deliver the advantages of convergence as it relates to digital security,” said Dennis Moriarty, vice president of Global Security at Diebold.
Based in Monterrey, Mexico, Central de Alarmas Adler is a security systems integrator that employs over 100 associates and specializes in monitoring services, security systems, closed-circuit television and fire systems. Its services also include installation, maintenance and system integration.
