  • when it is necessary to send an SMS in case of warning

The remote connection requires a pc equipped with a GSM modem or an analogic modem connected to the phone network (not digital and not passing through telephone exchanges).

  • Internet-enabled (with APN) for the transmission of data on FTP
  • M2M for remote connection
