It supports many existing alarm panels, making it a practical solution for an older/legacy alarm system upgrade or alarm panel takeover.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an alarm communicator?
This is a device that connects your alarm system to a monitoring center using internet, cellular, or dual-path communication technology.
What is dual-path communication?
Dual-path communication sends alarm signals via two routes: cellular and internet; so if one path fails, the other takes over. This makes your system far more reliable than a landline-only setup.
Do I need to replace my whole alarm system to upgrade to BAT-Connect?
You don't need to replace your whole alarm system to upgrade to BAT-Connect. That's the whole point of a BAT-Connect alarm communicator: It adds modern cellular and interactive LTE alarm system features to your existing system without requiring a full replacement.
Is the 7" touchscreen alarm keypad required?
The 7" touchscreen alarm keypad is an optional add-on. BAT-Connect works with your existing keypads. The touchscreen is simply a modern upgrade if you want a nicer interface.
Will BAT-Connect work with my existing alarm panel?
BAT-Connect is compatible with the majority of existing business and home alarm panels. We'll verify compatibility before installation. Call us or fill out the form above to check.
What is the TMC+ app?
TMC+ is our mobile app that lets you arm and disarm your alarm remotely, receive instant push notifications, and view system status, all from your smartphone.
