Did you know that proper placement of your intrusion detectors has an important impact on performance? In this video you will learn some key “do’s and don’ts” when installing Bosch intrusion detectors. Watch here >>

For years, we’ve been telling security professionals to migrate away from monitoring their alarm panels through telephone (POTS) lines and to start using more reliable means of communication, like cellular or IP. But one thing we haven’t discussed...

AT&T has announced that they will sunset their 3G network in the US on February 22, 2022. If you have Bosch B443 cellular modules that are using the AT&T network, you will need to replace these modules before this deadline because they will stop...
