Bosch Launches Remote Connect Cloud Service for Intrusion Control Panels
Bosch Security Systems Inc. provided dealers and integrators in North America cloud-based connectivity to its B and G Series intrusion control panels for remote programming and end-user app connectivity. The new Remote Connect cloud service makes it faster and easier to connect to the control panels by eliminating the need to change customer router settings, firewall rules or to use Domain Name Service to access the systems remotely.
Installers simply create a services account with Bosch and then plug the panel into the network using the on-board Ethernet port or set up a cellular communication connection. The panel reaches out to the cloud without the need to configure the customer’s network for inbound communications. The connection allows Bosch’s remote programming software and the remote security control app to connect securely from anywhere. Alarm communications are still sent directly to the central monitoring station using standard IP, cellular or public switched telephone network connections and do not utilize the cloud service.
