• Status monitoring of the alarm system (activated/deactivated, etc.)
• Display of associated cameras
• Event reporting
• Ability to arm/disarm the alarm system
• Enable/disable automations
• Access to a 30-day event history

The application allows full access to up to ten alarm systems via smartphone or tablet. This capability positions it as a practical tool for managing security in diverse environments, including homes, offices, and vacation properties.

The VIAWEB application offers enhanced notification capabilities, alerting users in real-time to changes within their alarm systems, such as triggers, activations, and deactivations. Notifications are facilitated through its direct connection technology or via cloud technology for GPRS modules.

Security is prioritized with the implementation of 128-bit AES encryption and unique cryptographic passwords for each alarm system. The application is compatible with several VIAWEB modules, including VIAWEB IP, VIAWEB GPRS + IP, and VIAWEB IP MINI. It is important to ensure that your module's firmware is updated to version 1.90 or higher to access all notification features.

Main Functionalities:

• Receive notifications of alarms and system changes directly on your smartphone.
• Arm or disarm alarm systems remotely.
• Control multiple alarm systems using a single application.
• Configure automation areas using VIAWEB's programmable outputs.
• Manage automations remotely, such as controlling garden lighting or gates.
• Inhibit specific alarm sectors as needed.
• Monitor the real-time status of the overall alarm system and its partitions.
• Access the system via Wi-Fi or 3G connections.
• Easier transitions of device settings during upgrades.

Important Considerations:

The notification system relies on the operating system of the user's smartphone, which may be subject to interruptions or delays. Users should remain aware of these potential limitations and consider utilizing a monitoring service for enhanced security of alarm events.
