Machine-to-machine communications, known by the abbreviation M2M, use electronics and IT to centralize and feed back all information from a system, enabling interaction with it. It's the combination of information and communication technologies.

M2M communications are recommended for intruder alarm systems that transmit data related to use, detection, intrusion, emergency or control of home automation elements.

This is all the more true with our new generation of intelligent, communicating alarm control units, whose data feedback, alerts and remote control can be compromised if the transmitter's telephone package or SIM card are not adapted.

Why choose an M2M SIM card for your alarm?

Many users opt for conventional SIM cards in their alarm systems to receive alerts in the event of intrusion or system fault. However, telephone operators' general conditions of sale stipulate that conventional SIM cards must be used exclusively in mobile equipment enabling communication between two people.

For example, with Free, article 4 of the subscriber's obligations specifies in paragraph 4.3 that use of the Service and/or SIM in equipment not dedicated to interpersonal communications is strictly forbidden. Article 7, concerning suspension or termination, states that the operator may suspend the Service without compensation in the event of breach of the subscriber's legal or contractual obligations.

Other operators such as RED by SFR (articles 8.5.1 and 8.5.2), Bouygues Telecom's B&YOU (article 4.1) and Sosh (article 12.2) also require communications to be between natural persons only, and strictly prohibit re-routed communications via a radio box.

Operators can even claim compensation for inappropriate use of their services, which can lead to network saturation to the detriment of other subscribers. This misuse can also be the subject of criminal penalties and fines. The major risk remains the suspension of the line, which would result in transmission failure in the event of intrusion or burglary.

Such a risk is inconceivable for an alarm system, which must be able to emit and transmit intrusion, detection, activation and triggering alarms, as well as technical alarms (low battery, detector opening, power failure, telephone line break, etc.) in all circumstances.

The efficiency of your alarm system, whether linked to a remote monitoring service (Securitas, EPS, Verisure, etc.) or self-monitoring, relies on the use of a SIM card dedicated to "Machine To Machine" (M2M) communications.

In short, conventional telephone packages, although often economical, are not suitable and can compromise the security of your alarm system. It is essential to use an M2M card obtained from an authorized reseller such as Alarm Kit, with or without a dedicated M2M communications package.

That's why, to guarantee the best solutions for our customers, Alarm Kit recommends the M2M SIM for their 4G alarm control units. Ensure the reliability and security of your alarm system with the right M2M card.
