When a fire breaks out or an intruder cuts the phone lines, standard landline-based alarm systems fail. Having a secondary wireless path is critical.

What is a GSM Cellular Failover?

GSM backups use standard cellular signals (similarly to your mobile phone) to send alarm details. If the main network cable goes down, the system switches automatically to the cell tower in under 2 seconds.

Battery Backup Redundancy

Power cuts should not disable security. VigilShield alarm hubs include a 24-hour backup battery to keep motion sensors and cell transmitters active during blackouts.

Preventing Sabotage Attempts

GSM systems detect cellular jamming attempts. If a jammer is detected, the hub triggers the on-site siren instantly, scaring away intruders.
