and you have a fully functional home security system in under an hour. Just hang the motion detectors where they make sense, add your door/window sensors, etc. Alternatatively dealers such as SmartHomeCentral can program your system remote (and for free) using Alula’s Dealer Portal.
ALULA SECURITY ANDROID
Dealers (and DIYers!) can program the panel locally using the bluetooth Alula Connect+ Installer App which is a free download for both iOS and Android smartphones/tablets. The system will bootup (takes about a minute) and you are ready to add your wireless sensors. Plugin the backup battery and connect the transformer to your AC outlet. Snap-in any optional modue cards such as WIFI or cellular. Just find a location with power and access to your router or within range of your WIFI network.

What is generally the hardest part maybe the simpliest with Connect+. Alula offers a wide range of wireless sensor types: You can add a snap-in WIFI board too if you’re not near your router.Īll of the intrusion sensors for this bad-boy are totally wireless – and encrypted for secure, reliable communication between the sensor and the controller. The controller comes with a backup battery, siren, and has an onboard Ethernet connector for access to the Internet if using alarm monitoring and remote access to your system. No longer is there a search for a spot on the wall that is near an AC outlet to fish a power line! Many people locate the controller by their entertainment center or by their office desk since network and power is generally there.
ALULA SECURITY INSTALL
Because the panel does not have a keypad built-in it becomes easy to install the Connect+ panel anywhere in the home where you have access to the Internet (Ethernet or optional WIFI) as well as 120VAC for power. That doesnt mean you can’t also use traditional keypads on the wall, they have multiple styles, its just that you don’t need to invest in one (or more) if not needed. The focus of this review will be for DIY homeowners who demand pro-grade equipment but want to save money by installing themselves.įirst let me say that Connect+ is different from other wireless systems on the market because it was designed from the start to be controlled by smartphones and tablets. While it is marketed for professional installation, it is available from select dealers for DIY use as well. Connect+ however is UL approved for both home and commercial security applications which makes it very attractive for security dealers. Their latest wireless security offering for 2018, Alula Connect+ is an upgraded version of Resolution’s Helix security system released in 2016. While Alula is a new name on the professional security market it results from the merger of two major brands, ipDataTel and Resolution Products at the end of 2017.
